Will the metaverse change how we work, socialize, and play games? Is this the first version of Ready Player One or even worse, the Matrix? In this video, we look at the metaverse and answer what it is, why you need it, how you can access it, and more.
The term metaverse first appeared in the 1992 novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. In the novel, there’s a computer-generated universe that humans can visit via a terminal or high-quality goggles. You can interact with other humans in this world and some people spend most of their time here.
The term stuck, and metaverse now refers to highly immersive 3D worlds where people can gather to socialize, play, and work.
We look at the benefits companies and individuals may gain from the metaverse, and also review the challenges and downsides.

yeah especially when it comes to paying with crypto
Tom Cruise Movies of the future started to look real now!
Where are in a Meta Verse Now. Iβm wearing goggles somewhere else.
New research area for my educational technology
I envision a metaverse pivot table where I just yell and slice data or literally take my virtual DeWalt impact driver and drill down to the pc where it was created
You would have to be extremely sheltered and have zero face to face communication skills to enjoy this. Stuff like this is what causes children who are confused about their sex.
i also believe this gonna be the future, but but but but… it will only work if we gonna give up our privacy …. because when i play poker stars vr… little zhit kids are acting exactly upper-sit of what they will do face to face…. so………. we are the very beginning of the future… be proud of that… we all pioneers π
Nah, not for me. I don't even use my webcam in meetings most of the time.
I haven't used Facebook in years. No intention in signing up for their desperate attempt to stay relevant.
As for the whole selling point that "it'll be so lifelike" – I'll stick with reality thanks.
The way you say today needs to be a Meme
End of humans is near .
That's just another name for VR.
Microsoft , 10 times better? does not compute. The company was literally built on reselling the same thing to you with only minor improvements.
Wooo, jokes and editing were lit , expecting more of these involving Kcc in the future
I think this new Metaverse will have both positive and negative impact as many technological advances we already have, anyway for me is exciting to think what future holds
Hey Kevin. Can you make a video on getting a raport in Office 365 of how many emails have been send by a user or multiple users during a period of time ?
Bill Gates stated – people overstate impact of IT in 2 years and understate in 10 years.
I think we will see developer consensus on 1-2 commercial platforms within 8 years and each platform will have out-of-box solutions for main horizontal use cases work, entertainment, cooking, travel within 10. But we will see also opensource and it will eventually dominate the commercial business segment unless a trusted platform fees get into 1-2% of sales. Apples 30% fees will need to end.
This technology will revolutionize vidjakol.
I think it will reduce lonelinesses sometimes.

Kevin, I'm glad I stumbled onto your channel looking for something totally unrelated (mkv files). Loved your explanation of the metaverse. Lots of new information there. Would enjoy hearing your thoughts on Virbela. Their demo site is always open.
A huge failure of imagination to think of the future as just a bitmap of the past. Aspects of shared experience are important but real transformational ideas are discovered rather than imposed. The #1 reason the web succeeded is because it didn't have an owner who tried to capture all the value.
I remember when the floppy πΎ disc was used. It was the first year of computer π₯οΈ class being required in my university… oops I'm telling my age
Really enjoyed this video, thanks for explaining this Kevin!
Lets start at the top. Meta is Greek for change. Not Next or Beyond. You think your group is screwed up now. Just wait until this mess goes on line
i dont think any person in the world can put the gogles for a long time. it could potentially lead to serious health issues. The concept is through amazing
Meta just lost 232 BILLION with a B dollars. ~~ BTW, those were REAL dollars! Thank you for a great explanation Kevin! I do bet many people will go from a net worth of a million dollars to a net of 300 million. How many will lose everything is the question. π§‘
Wow very good. I playing testnet of metaverse project: Zombie World Z. Do you know this game? Seem gameplay very interesting. I guess they will release launch in this month. What do you think about it? ..
No
Good to see another SL Citizen. I've been in SL since '07. In fact, I use my SL name and avatar image on all my social media sites.
