Metaverse Videos

To learn more about the Metaverse, check out this great panel, in which Matthew Ball defines Metaverse as:

1. Hard to describe, not knowable [as it doesn't exist yet]
2. Not technically achievable [technical limits of how many simultaneous people can be synchronized in one world]
3. Persistent
4. Synchronous
5. Live, living world
6. Individuals have presence, agency
7. Extensive economy
8. Transcends individual experiences and the physical and digital world

Here's a video of a gorilla talking about the Metaverse. I found him somewhat amusing. Main ideas

1. like the Internet, but a 3-D place you go to
2. Non-instanced - a connection with everyone in the same space, not just 1-way viewing
3. Decentralized - not controlled by any individual or group
4. Trading your work / digital data / programs for cyber currency
5. Build more of the metaverse from within the metaverse
6. Remote Education
7. Social events
8. able to block people
9. your own private area
