DK1&2 owner here, I really don't see how the metaverse is better than our current metaphor of browsers/webpages when it comes to sharing information? We already exist in the 3D world and we invented the web browser to make information sharing more efficient. Having to negotiate a 3D world instead of scrolling with my mouse wheel seems like the less efficient metaphor.
- sp332 12y agoWeb browsers were invented to load "pages", or text in discrete documents. And until recently, that's pretty much all it could do without plugins. Now that we have good WebGL implementations, near-native javascript performance, websockets, etc. we can start moving beyond static, flat, rectangular, discrete pieces of content.
