So what’s this, a buzzword or a new basic technology. Who knows? Below\/overleaf are my notes and links. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Wikipedia has a limited definition<\/a> , and perhaps this McKinsey article offers more<\/a>. I am unclear how much publicly funded research has been done, there’s very little in the citations list on wikipedia and most of that is on health risks for children. I also found What is the metaverse?<\/a> at sproutsocial <\/em>the first time round. i.e. the sources are either consultants, journalists or product vendors. I think that the reality-virtuality continuum<\/a> might be helpful in understanding what it can do, either today or tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of my big things, is that unless we change the sensory metaphors for many problems, a 3D metaverse will not help in human problem solving. How does one make Doom a trading application? I couldn’t work it out, nor could I work out how to use a real world 3D metaphor work for a data centre, the vectors of interest were too many to deal with in 3D. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
