I think we could see "the metaverse" happen before 2030... _if_ we define the "metaverse" computing era as "the time when more than 1 billion humans spend more than 4 hours per day in virtual or augmented reality environments." But let me know when you think the Metaverse will happen in these comments!
@@smashedits1678 yeah im thinking within the next 20 years, but not within the next 10. I am wondering what I should invest in, so that I am ahead of the “apple moment” in this new era.
I mean it definitely possible look at spacex 10 years ago vs today. Or ev sales in 2011 vs 2021. There’s a quote here “we often overestimate what we can do in 2 years and underestimate what we could do in 10”.
Great video. I still have a hard time imaging what the metaverse looks like as it takes off. Firstly I am not sure what would be the driver - entertainment (games, video) is a clear driver, but I have a hard time seeing it scale to 'metaverae' levels any time soon. I think work/productivity would be a better driver to get things started, but it is much less mature. It must make sense for general individual work, not just collaboration or design work. Secondly I have a hard time imagining the current style of headsets truly taking over. I think the fact that you can't see your surroundings (directly) and the fact that people can't see your face are big detractors in the short to medium term.
I just played vr for fun since 2017 the meta verse seems like a way facebook are finally going to invade our lives thurther and change what the original prupose of vr
I’m more excited about mixed reality. Imagine wearing a pair of smart glasses can transform the boring surroundings of my neighborhood into epic mixed reality world - I still have to physically navigate the real physical space, but with “metaverse” world layered upon it. I think once the metaverse platform becomes mature and largely adopted, people will become very creative in its use cases. Look at the internet - so many applications (be it useful or just for fun) today could not have been predicted
re: The idea of AR or "smart glasses" -- this idea made me more at peace with people pulling down statues. But I realized with AR, if all we have is statue pedestals, then with AR one could idealize any statue they want on top of that pedestal. If you identify and honor so-and-so, just AR depict whoever you want on there. It's a huge change that wrecks current "tour busses". Plus I think it's a little "inbred"-thinking to make the world look like how you want it to look - diversity is more than skin and physical things, but we need a diversity of opposing thoughts and ideas. So I'm not saying this is all a GOOD thing - but it is something AR could potentially offer. And "when pigs fly" can become a thing now.
@I Low Quality Rip Everything Not just "your" personal data, but also "presence" information of the community - facial recognition on everybody you pass by. How about this: what if AR projects data automatically about everyone you're passing by? People with criminal records, high-lighted with "danger" indicators? What if the system cross-references with wealthy people, so you know high-rollers are around you (business owners, etc), or maybe doctors or educators? How about icons above people's heads indicating things they are currently interested in -- clubs, sports, hobbies. Maybe even 'relationship status', indicated by a symbol virtualized over people's head? Maybe these could be offered voluntarily, but passive ID scanning is difficult to stop. I get the counterarguments here -- "what are we really solving with all this?" i.e. can't people just talk to each the old fashion way? I suppose a kind of "split" would happen - like we have this split between urban and rural now. This next frontier might be a kind of "hyper-society" or "cyber-society" of those willing to partake in this omni-information system - for all the positives and negatives. I don't have such a strong ego that I'm worried about compromises in personal information - no, I'm not an open book, but on the other hand I don't have anything to hide (from the government). And sure, that's easy to say, until they come after you -- or worse, a mistake or a bitter person frames me for something I was never involved with. Maybe blockchains help some of that, by making it very difficult to corrupt records. // Recall that "nations" is a fairly recent concept. To make modern society, we gave up freedoms - we all have a society security number, etc. And we're tracked by cameras now anyway, in the cities, with all those cameras doing license plate and facial registration, in real time. We've long forgotten what real true freedom means, but I hope that cost has been worth it -- for some amount of peace and prosperity, that resulted in technologies and quality of life that our ancestors couldn't even imagine....
@I Low Quality Rip Everything More personal data than ever? Have you never heard of a phone? That thing can track everything down from your blood pressure to morning routines, moods, iris details.
This is actually the best video I've seen about the so-called "metaverse" - well done! One thing though, from all the sources out there the iPhone was beyond ready when he announced it to the world as it's very well known that he was just holding a dummy phone and half of the things announced haven't even been implemented yet.
@@JohnCooganPlus yeah at first 5 seconds, I thought you were another D bag UA-camr with typical lighting and set up. But you are actually extremely talented and I learned a few things myself watching your videos. Particularly with these fast-paced motion kind of vibe/flow. It’s unique 🥰
I'm kinda worried about the physical and mental health implications the Metaverse could have. Eyes are adjusted to constantly be focusing on objects of different distances rather than one fixed distance which is the case with phones and headsets. There is also the implication of declining fitness and health with video games replacing sports as popular competitive entertainment as he said. Mental health wise I think going from a complex virtual reality back to the real work could be incredibly depressing. Who knows the implications! But I doubt the correct infrastructure to deal with these implications will be set up just as it isn't with social media. And I think it will be almost impossible to control how people interact with the Metaverse meaning that a dark web will also form here but be way more realistic. Thoughts?
Speaking from exp. I started using my devices to play games a lot and i started to get fat. I then took a gym membership and go to the gym everyday for 30 mins just to stay healthy, gaming has yet to impact me negatively. its fun and i have to taken steps to avoid its health consequences. cant say much abt eyes tho. also sometimes i take a break and go out to parks and such which is very relaxing. u said that it will be depressing, its actually the opposite tho, i feel very nice taking breaks from the high fantasy crazy worlds that i immerse myself in. its a good reset before i go and start another game. i think it will be the same with the future metaverse devices. i mean people didnt use phones but do now and still meet and live life at times.
I recommend reading the book brain jack by brian falkner. I think this book really puts VR into perspective. Some people will be able to use VR in a logical and measured way while others will simply become junkies. They will lose all sense of reality and reason. Unable to unplug and lost to their VR media.
@@MohammadAli-00798 yeah good point, I’m moderation I think the meta verse will be an amazing thing, but lots of money will be made if it’s highly addictive like phones. So will be amazing for many but problematic for some (I think)
If this takes off the way Mark is predicting, the problems were seeing social media and constantly present technology have on psychological and cognitive development in particular is going to look healthy in comparison. Imagine growing up with every impulse ready to be fed at all times. Something we’re already starting to see with virtual schooling and smart phones, only amplified by 1000. It’s crazy, we don’t even understand how social media and connectivity is influencing development because it’s developing faster than researchers can keep up with. So the consequences on personality, social, cognitive, and developmental psychology are not even completely understood yet. But we’re already seeing increasing rates of personality and mood disorders and anecdotal evidence that suggests that what’s happening to children brain development as a result of all of this connectivity is not great.
I think it might just split people more. People like me who are increasingly disconnecting from the digital world, don’t trust any of these tech companies especially anything from Mark, and want to live in the woods lol. And people who are addicted to meta because nobody believes you can live for an actual purpose anymore.
I think a split is probably eminent between those groups to an extent. It doesn’t help when things are subjected to words like addiction or that what someone does has no purpose. In that logic I mindlessly consume books that serve no purpose. They are a tremendous waste of time as the value of those books are entertainment only. The same could be said for cloud watching…a frivolous activity indeed. I hope that people continue to understand nuance and complexity as we continue to move forward as a society. That we continue to apply compassion and empathy towards complexity and allow people to enjoy what they like how they like it with out judgement. Wether that is fishing or online chat rooms.
Dude, you're wicked smart and easy to listen to. You made me feel fairly intelligent instead of making me feel uneducated. You did that with your vocab and delivery. You're good bro. I'm gonna hang around.
Back in the 80's, we called this concept Cyberspace (from Neuromancer). Although there is a difference - "cyberspace" was more deliberately associated with being inside the system of a computer (Tron fashion, or the old animated cartoon Reboot), so you saw interactions of communication across a bus, guards over ports, etc. It's odd to me that for all the visual effects that VR and "metaverse" offers, we feel the need to replicate our classic universe rules (physics effects, "walking" on a planar surface, etc) -- maybe because our minds can't quite capture the idea of how to even control a much more articulated being, like something have in 8 arms and can see a full 360. Anyhow, yes, the "metaverse" should lead to establishing a protocol or standard of how to flow ones earned-assets from one verse to another, not just sandboxed MMO experiences - either seamless (ReadyPlayerOne style), or maybe a "passport" system where assets of one are converted and exchanged to another (Robolox having its own economy and currency compared to WoW, etc -- those for now being small island verses). Funny, Richard Gariett also had his idea of "shard" universes back in the Ultima series (UO '96), a similar preview to this idea.
Octupii have decentralized brains in each of those 8 arms to control it. We are still human. No matter what you do in a metaverse it's just fancy computer graphics attached to the face of a walking sack of meat.
@@GlennDavey Forget the graphics. You can be in meta with just a command line terminal interface. The graphics are just one expression of the system state and algorithms involved. In BDO, for the most part you can't trade items (there are some exceptions). What kind of society/government is that? Imagine in real life we had that restriction - like imagine a native American tribe that came up with a culture like this: you took effort X to make item Y, which is bound to you -- you are physically prohibited from transferring item Y to anyone else. So inheritence is not an option (you can't gift the item Y to a friend, even upon death). That kind of thought would never happen in the real world. It's not quite Communist thinking. Back when Cambodia was being taken over, c. 1979 - the new regime ideal was everyone had to work. It's like "if you want to eat, you have to grow the rice" - and on one level, that seems fair, makes sense. But I think one of our greatest boons was the idea of leisure and giving a certain portion of society leisure to just think great ideas and try stuff, so they're not out in the field all day growing rice. But there's a balance - it falls apart when the ones gifted the time of leisure are dumb, corrupt, and self serving (and so unfortunately, eventually there is a sort "reset" -- like the French Revolution; chaos theory is ever present, as things are naturally dispositioned to disorder and decay, we must take great effort to maintain things in an order - an effort we fail to sustain indefinately). MAYBE meta is just that next evolution of leisure, and if you're not bogged down with physical things, some wild new ideas come about (Eddison maybe wouldn't have made the lightbulb if he was busy growing rice). When we're "virtualized" down to atomic level and can walk a system from the inside out, it's a whole new perspective and insight. // A day will come when people realize they can be quadriplegics and function just fine in meta -- no need to feed those arms and legs, and 3D print some artificial lungs and a heart, our "sack of meat" gets smaller and smaller, to eventually (perhaps) "uploading" our brains. // And it's interesting to consider that now a person can be content their whole lives with like 600 sq ft housing, there is absolutely no desire or need for the classic 2000+ sq ft house... Housing market crash, indeed.
@@GlennDavey Fair enough - I don't endorse FB or their rebranded META (my account there was hacked by one of their employees and I've never bothered to go back). So to me "meta" is just the general concept of the metaverse, which will come with or without FB's involvement.
i found your video about business casual from a comment in business casual community section a long time ago, you are growing fast now, it's awesome to see
I love VR gaming there's nothing like it but my issue is I can't play it for more than a few hours a day or i get super sick. I don't know how they can fix that. I know I would never have a headset on for 8hrs to do a job if it would get me sick after the 1st hours.
wow i love your presentation. You have that professional tech speaker voice that demands attention. Also loved the flow and packed info in one 15 min video. I'm hooked!
This is absolutely terrifying. Neglect of the physical world will inevitably result in neglect of our most basic primal needs as human beings. Sunlight, exercise and human to human physical relationships are vital components in what makes us, us. Without sounding too ominous I think this leads to a dark place. There's a reason depression and suicide rates have been climbing steadily. People lived harder lives centuries ago than we do now, yet were they less happy? I can't help but see a ready player one scenario playing out, but with more dire consequences.
Perhaps. Invest in this tech early on, wait then profit and retire early. If you can’t stop this progression - good or bad, try to profit off of it, it ain’t illegal so... 😏📈
@@katjerouac What does age have to do with it? He touched on very real concerns and explained why he is concerned. People already spend far too much time staring at a screen. It stands to reason that if you make staring at a screen exponentially more engaging that people will spend even more time doing it. That’s only the tip of the ice burg. Think about the privacy issues with such a system in place along with AI. Think of the control that these companies will have over people’s lives. Do you really want to give up even more privacy and control to the tech billionaires? Instead of just disparaging someone for their opinion and offering no counter, I suggest you lay out your opposing argument in favor of the meta verse. Convenience? Or do you like it just because it sounds “cool” and damn the consequences?
@@katjerouac Hes not wrong... if we get a too good virtual reality or better a real deep dive. Its over for humanity. Anyone with basic knowledge of human behavior, or evolutionary psicology knows that. Needless to say... i love real world exercise, phisical prowess, and hate Zuc and his push for distopian bullshit, control of info and propaganda etc. But im totally in for a descent virtual reality sword and sorcery.
The metaverse doesn't have to be completely VR, it can also be AR and Mixed Reality. That way people who want to stay in the real world CAN, whilst also catching up with what's going on in the metaverse. That's what the metaverse needs to be in order for all consumers to want it.
I guess that when the iPhone moment happened (when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone), nobody recognized it as such. And it wasn't a given either. The smart phone's great value isn't in the device itself, but in the fact that it allowed millions of often individual developers with little funding to create applications for it. Seems to me the barriers to entry to become a content creator for the meta verse will be much higher. And to reach billions, it needs to be accessible on low spec mobile computers, because most people cannot afford more.
Correct even if facebook does have so many billions of users, less than 50% could ever hope to afford the high spec technology required for it. But on the other hand, if it's not good looking then it won't feel immerse (if you know pokemon, it's like the difference in BDSP and Pokemon legends areceus) and to make it look great the price needs to be high but if the price is high then a lotta people can't get it... IDK how this problem could be solved
@@vic_710 there's a school of thought that says immersion is to capture your mind, not just your eyes. shit feels immersive when what you're doing is meaningful and engaging. hi-res eye candy will get old very fast if thats the main attraction. It's important for sure, but... a good book doesn't have any pixels, is all i'm sayin.
@@ThomasARichardson Correct but to capture a human mind in thinking that what it's seeing is real, the objects that it's seeing have to seem as normal life like as possible and that needs high res. Yes as you said, what you do in it has to be meaningful but... even if it's the best book in the world, how many %cent of humans can actually get fully immersed in it?
"Meta, as in, we will control your Metadata in Virtual Reality also." To hard to ever trust Zuck to ever deliver this in a way that puts consumer first.
I think the creation of the metaverse is going to force these big companies into collaborating w/ one another for at least 5-10 years in order to push this out comfortably….
Love your vids man - so well produced, shot and presented - always keeping my interest all the way through. How you’re only at 30k subs is beyond me. Should be a couple mils at the least. Im sure wont take long. Keep it up!
This video was so well made, I'll often click on interesting videos only to get bored and leave 3 minutes in. I watched the entire video and subbed! Keep up the great content!
I remember watching his vids just a few months ago when there were only a few hundred views , wondering why he wasn’t huge… but pretty sure with this level of quality he will continue to crush it
I live here in Finland and we visited Varjo a few years ago for a school group project and got to try their newest headset developments. It's actually mind blowing how realistic and clear their VR is. Anything other I've tried feels like a joke in comparison, lol :D
I would buy one in a heartbeat if if it had sound. But 2K for an HMD that doesn't even have sound? Yes, you can plug your own stuff in, but I don't like cramming things in my ears. Index's sound is amazing...sounds better than any headphones I've ever heard and it doesn't even touch your ears. I think I'll get a Reverb to satisfy my craving for higher resolution until something better comes out.
i remember when i was like 10 i used to think, man what if there was a game out there that was exactly like life, now all grown up i realize it would flop because there would be a terms of service, and your data would be used against you to keep you in check.
Your videos are great and such high quality. Keep it up, was truly suprised you're still such a small channel. You'll blow up soon if you're consistent I'm sure
I would love to see a video on cryptocurrencies' role in the metaverse. My perspective on cryptocurrencies has just basically been it looks like tulipmania. Oc, I don't know too much about it. But, if it has a role in the metaverse, It seems like cryptocurrency value would be a lot more tangible. It kinda sounds like I'm asking for investing advice, but I really just think a technical explanation of their connection would be very interesting.
I think the scariest thing about a 3D Metaverse by far, is that it might bring back dead people. Not in the way anyone's thinking, and for sure it'll lack fidelity. But what if the AI solves that infidelity problem.
this meta thing goes against principle of death..... like you have to let go of people, making a vr version of the deceased does nothing but meddle with the persons feelings towards the deceased. forget about that, even if some of us dont believe in a religion, its obvious that humans wont survive long, our existence is going to decline sooner or later, it useless to spend money on something that teleports us into a fake dimension...… metaverse is nothing but trouble
@@nishathunnisa1431 Idk how is it with you, but I'd love to interact with an avatar based on Plato, Hannibal Barca, Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, or Nikola Tesla. So many exciting minds in history. Feed the AI with every piece of information that exists about the person, then you have a synthesized historical person that you can ask anything regarding them and have entire conversations with them. The potential of this for education is just immense.
John Carmack is a fucking god. A boundless entity that holds together all of space and time. He only manifested a projection of his being to this Earth so that we'd have DOOM.
You know the metaverse doesnt need to be full VR, right? Take a look at upcoming blockchain games. Within 5 or so years, we will have fully functioning "metaverses" within different blockchain games where every one can be a part of, build its own application or even game which docks to the the given economy or infrastructure.
one factor that sets second life apart from most other platforms, one "could" concider a metaverse, it that's its one single cohesive and persistant virtual world, that's built and constantly changed from within, by the users. (a bit like a minecraft server, but infinitely more elaborate) unlike MMOs and online games, such as roblox or WoW, or the likes of VR chat, that are inherently scattered over unchanging worlds or maps, and instances of those. dated as it might be, over 18 years old, but SL is still an incredibly interresting showcase, of what a virtual world can be.
Yes but interface of SL is bit complicated for me to use, i hope in future Second Life Developers will make one shop and one interface more simple like wear clothes, or make clothes/accessories fit the body, i like alot SL but interface it has to become more intuitive for everyone.
@@Katy950 that's not gonna happen. you couldnt simplify the UI, without simplifying the platform itself. and SL is inherently very complex and nerdy, and gives the user almost limitless control. but i have to agree, that it's an absolute handfull, with the complexity of a foreign operating system, and a steep learning curve, making it .. not the most acessible to newcomers. in 2011, linden labs did try to streamline most of the UI into a sidebar with the SL viewer 2, sacrificing a lot of the multitasking and customizability options of the client. it was pretty much universally hated, because it felt needlessly limiting, dumbed down and partonizing to existing users. but you may wanna give some 3rd party viewers a try sometimes. PS: there is the second life market place, at least. initially the whole ting with clothing was much easier, but with mesh avatars and clothing, it's a royal pain in the ass, i'm doing my best to avoid. SL is very open, and content is exclusively created by users, with no enforced standards. so often the parts of one avatar maker will not be compartible with another one's.
11:16 That’s when announced the new name of his company. He didn’t say here’s Metaverse. Just like the Information Highway, it was not built in a day. It would take time, innovative efforts from many companies and continue to evolve. We are just starting to see decentralized autonomous organization popping up everywhere, decentralized finance spreading our wealth or decentralized Apps exposing to true high availability and so on. This reminds me when iPhone giving us the way into the mobile browsing when not all sits were ready for mobile edition browsing experiences. It takes time but bold moves from companies like Facebook or Meta, NVidia, Adobe, Roblox, Microsoft, Apple , Google, and list goes on. But what Facebook or Meta did was, triggered a paradigm shift of the whole ideology of the Metaverse. Before that, people were still innovating toward Web 3.0. But Facebook/Meta said, let’s do it! 😎
Awesome explanation, wud really love to know more about this and how can I as an individual be part of this massive shift that I can see is going to happen.
Definitely working on more Metaverse related content. There are lots of ways to get involved. You can learn programming, game development, 3D art. You could work at any of the dozens of companies that have metaverse initiatives. You could also go deep in crypto, since there are tons of Metaverse / Web3 projects there. DM me on Twitter if you want to chat more!
I'm calling it now, people will be dating virtually and even getting married (legally) in the Metaverse within the next 20 years. The Metaverse is going to change things in ways we have not seen since the birth of the consumer internet in the mid to late 90's. I'm ready for the ride.
@@iGhostr ummm 🤔 the software engineers are the ones who is creating the metaverse… this is a real thing ,,, so much, that you’re watching this video….
@@iGhostr Major companies like Intel, Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Epic and others are investigating billions of dollars right now to develop it. Are you saying that these companies are not smart enough to know where to invest their hard owned dollars?
I'm studying (purchasing) behavior of players in Augmented Reality with an AR game I made for my thesis. This Metaverse video gave me lot of new ideas! Thanks!
I spent $1000 on a Steam Index VR headset. It makes for a great paperweight. Seriously, I used it for maybe a total of 30-40 hours. I have it sitting beside me right now, untouched in over 8 months. Why? a few reasons. First, there honestly wasn't much to do with it. There were a whole host of demos to play, and like only 1 or 2 actual games. Since then there was a crappy VR MMO that launched. A few fully dedicated VR games that kinda suck, to be honest. Anyway, the 2nd problem I have is eye strain. I wear glasses and so I have to wear them while wearing the headset. I can play for maybe 10-15 minutes at most per day without ending up with a severe headache. I tried to just use it as a virtual theater to watch movies on. I can't even get 1/2 through a film without my eyes hurting. So yeah, I have a $1,000 paperweight.
Yeah that's a good point. I'm kinda worried about the physical and mental health implications the Metaverse could have. Eyes are adjusted to constantly be focusing on objects of different distances rather than one fixed distance which is the case with phones and headsets. There is also the implication of declining fitness and health with video games replacing sports as popular competitive entertainment as he said. Mental health wise I think going from a complex virtual reality back to the real work could be incredibly depressing. Who knows the implications! But I doubt the correct infrastructure to deal with these implications will be set up just as it isn't with social media. And I think it will be almost impossible to control how people interact with the Metaverse meaning that a dark web will also form here but be way more realistic. Thoughts?
Great analysis John. ‘Metaverse’ is here, people already walking the streets glued to their phones. Can’t leave a room in their own house without their phones. The full immersion VR vision is the end game. Likely starting with a device switch from ‘smartphone’ to smart-AR glasses… saves on the arm strain.
Imagine being fact checked in VR in real time in the middle of a conversation with a friend. Imagine how amazing that would be to be constantly corrected by a silicon Valley social media application. Imagine investing so much in it only to get banned for a stupid status update. And they take all your money. Awesome
daym man, your research on web3 is god level, there are very few who impressed me with their research and youre surely one of them. keep up the good work, you have a great future ahead, wishes for that.
I watched a video where they talked about the meta, but I didn’t have a clue what it was. Now I do. Thanks for the explanation. I don’t do any kind of social media except here on UA-cam, so I was rather in the dark about the whole thing. Being an older person, I hope I’m dead and gone before it becomes reality.
The metaverse isn’t all about VR. The metaverse is when technology is 90-100% involved in our lives. VR isn’t necessarily the only way to immerse in this
Very informative video, i'm honestly impressed by the quality of narration and visual content in the video. I can see your subscriber count growing very quickly in the near future! Keep it up! P.s. you kind of look like Tom Holland :D
As we've discovered and mapped out all the continents and partitioned all the land masses -- we can still explore and map out portions of the ocean, and underwater cities (or even countries) might someday be a thing -- but we're too fragile for space travel. The next "frontier" may very well be a virtualized country -- for a language, we're already seeing a bit of a return to hieroglyphics (emojis, in a way) and shorthand notation, and people are playing videos back at 1.4X speed or faster just to save time. And currency, being replaced with crypto -- gold is far better used as a corrosion resistant material in electronics and spacecraft, the idea of precious metals as currency is done. What stops an entire country forming "in the metaverse" with its own culture, language, currency? There is no bedtime for kids in this verse, there are no timezones, and while you can be blocked by others -- for the most part your thoughts and ideas can't be censored. And not only does gender not matter in this verse, an individual can hold many identities at the same time. Bluray was trumped by the rise of streaming. 3D printing could be trumped by AR and everything going virtual. Not only "print is dead" but the entire physical world is dead -- I don't need tablets or any physical thing, if I can just virtualize everything I do. I like VR experiences since you don't have to deal with insects and bug bites -- but I do miss the sensation of smells, of a well cooked meal or scent of flowers. 1000 years from now, they'll see us so archaic and primitive, just as we look back 1000 years from now.
I see what you are saying. I agree. Don’t you think there will be a need for people in the future that aren’t connected to the Meta to keep things functioning in the real world. I’m curious what you think about that.
Can't wait to eat virtual food and pretend not to starve to death. Also take a virtual dump on a toilet. Will be amazing. Fingers crossed fact checkers check everyone in real time and censor them for having an opinion.
@@Sirdon77 Absolutely, in the near term. I live out in the country, off-grid - solar arrays and well-pumps for water. But as that equipment fails, yep, I still depend on manufacturers to make them (balanced with my own contribution to afford whatever the repair cost might be). And that's a concern I have about "city folk" who may take for granted on just how things work - like in the movie Fight Club or even Fifth Element, there is some dialog related to idea that it's a lot of people running around that ultimately makes things work -- from water treatment, power plants, road maintenance, etc. -- like the ending credits of a movie, all those hundreds of people involved that you never saw. I've had co-workers scoff at the idea of having kids - like it's "inconvenient." But when I look at a worker - like a delivery person or mechanic - I think "that's somebody's kid" and appreciate all the time invested in creating that talent. So, if people get too overly selfish and stop having kids, then r.i.p. a lot of services we all take for granted. BUT, here's the thing..... The only thing stopping us from invitro birth farms is our ideals of social norms (the old sci-fi Space Above and Beyond had some dialog related to this), plus our great ideal of equality -- which is certainly a noble ideal, but at the end of the day there are classes: you have some people who aren't quite college material or just are content at a daily grind job, versus bully-like people who are hard driven AND have great ideas (put another way: not everyone is an Elon Musk and holds meetings at 3am and works till 2am the next day, it's some people being "better" but certainly some people are more "driven"). Also, long term, we may replicate our entire intellect into meta or AI -- sure, that may be a couple hundreds years away. But that's sort of key to space travel - we can't travel as bags of water, but we could travel as a small SD chip. Right now, it's a fad to emulate things like eating, drinking, waste, stamina - as we try to replicate the physical universe as we know it. We'll get over that fad eventually, and when someone can make an NPC that's so advanced you can't tell it's not a traditional human intellect (i.e. maybe "uploading our brains") then we're on that path to being done with the physical world as we know it, and our traditional physical limitations (both the pain of that, but also the joy of that). No it's not a change that happens overnight, but it is a path we're going down with this meta-stuff. // Put another way: there are people in Japan who go months if not years without ever seeing another person physically. Absolutely that lifestyle only exist due to the generosity of thousands of people they don't see - to keep power running, deliver food, etc. One of our greatest inventions maybe 120 years ago was the high-rise and elevators -- people got off ground level, and could spend more leisure time just THINKING and doing stuff in their own space. Yes, we still have a dependency and relationship with the physical world - but this meta is like the new frontier, a new wild-wild west, and there will be a growing divide between the "old" and "new" world. Physical bodies get smaller, maybe you don't actually need legs and arms to function in meta -- yep, absolutely that sounds "weird" to most of us right now. But if our physical presence is wrecking the environment, or our physical existence is destroyed by biological warefare, well - we can migrate into a virtual resilient network (yea, someone could pull the power plug - but it really is a resilient network with data-centers now in orbit).
@@v8matey The "real time" fact checking and censor ship is concerning to me. As a related idea, YT automatically scans for copyright violations. Separate to whether you agree or disagree this is a Good Thing or Not - the point is: it's automatically enforcement of policy. There is no moderation or human element involved. A judge can have leeway in sentencing, to some extent. In our town, they tried those red-light detectors and automatic tickets - it sent so many tickets, people weren't paying it, and it just made a mess for everyone, so they've removed it (since trying to make money off it couldn't exceed the cost of the system, something like that). My point, people talk about judges being corrupt and such - but that was part of the humanity. Say you stole a car -- that's bad. But a judge (and jury) could look at the circumstances, and maybe say "well, ok, someone stole your baby carriage with your baby in it, and you were compelled to borrow a car to go after that..." and decide community service instead of jail time (it's just a hypothetical extreme for the point). But when you have a robot servicing justice -- no human element, no compassion or understanding the context. "you played 2 minutes of Lady Gaga, your video is banned." Or maybe you played 2 minutes of some audio from some international band, that you don't even know if they exist anymore. The old system was never perfect, but it allowed for some "forgiveness" that meant diversification - people could mix and experiment with stuff. I don't want every YTer spending time trying to come up with original background music - that's not efficient. On the other hand, no, not every artist should get a mansion and million dollars for their 3 minute music creation. To phrase this another way: in the old days, it was 1:1 where an enforcer found a violation, and sentencing happened. Now it's imbalanced, we have automated enforces constantly scanning (and consuming associated resources with that scanning) for violations -- there is no leeway, there is no "grease" to let the "small violations" alone. This relates to the overall idea of lack of modern moderation in any digital content - we can't pay a moderator enough, and in any case, they can't moderate fast enough when EVERYONE has a voice. // So there are two points here, (1) the issue of copyright and its duration, and applying that on a global scale -- I'm in my own little local market, trying to make a spoof video for no-profit, but I'm banned because a portion sounds similar to this Mongolian band, etc. (2) the robotic and automated enforcement of policy. As a small example, back in the 1980s when my older sister worked at the skating ring -- she could let me in for free. Just a perk of the job. Now-a-days when everything is fully automated and systematic, there is no leeway, and these implicit "perks" that made really boring jobs bearable are all gone. That's the cost of automated enforcement of policy. Another small example is at drive-thru - you've got the person taking orders and handling your money, then they ask you to move forward so they handle the next customer more quickly. My old pastor met his wife by taking time to chit-chat at a drive-thru. Good lord managers, give these people some relief, let them slack a little.
I'll try to simplify the thought here: to "escape" in the past, Europeans went to the Americas and Australia. That option (on land) no longer exists, and ocean and space is very difficult for us. So, the next "frontier" could very well be virtual reality/cyberspace - where conceptually physical political entities may not have any jurisdiction (particularly if they can't associate a virtual identity with any physical one). Europeans "escaped" Europe and religious persecution. Perhaps meta is a potential way to escape modern social persecution - to either create your own verse, or to create island-verses of like-minded entities. And with enough entities involved, at what point does it become its own "nation" of sorts with its own sub-culture?
The idea of this nft/blockchain based metaverse is basically a second internet for vr users. To create a second vr internet or “metaverse” would require an operating system as universal as windows or android, and a universal file for the avatars like the jpeg is for pictures. Meta wants this but only for themselves, essentially a new internet that they own 100%.

There's an amazing video about this by knowledgehub under a series with a title along the words of "2000s predictions of the 2020" or smth like that.
@@jaujud I know? But they're not as extreme as you think Example: No. Not much that already exists willl be restricted to the metaverse. Because A LOT of people are very paranoid of the idea of the metaverse the companies already running services in real life would lose a lot of money from people who don't use the metaverse.
Great video. One little thing though, I believe the iPhone was announced at macworld and was the main product presented and not a "one more thing". Though, Steve Jobs definitely was known for that line. Totally agree Mark was trying to aim for Steve Jobs but lacks a lot of polish and the a product that people can get their hands on. Jobs knew how to design a solid product, build hype and get media attention.
That's interesting... I didn't know that! I'll have to do more research to find the full original context. Thanks for pointing this out, I really try and get all these details right.
Yes, the iPhone was the main release of the night. Steve really knew how to create simple amazing products, but never had a single effort for social interactions, so for this part Mark needs to aim for himself tho. Lol
The amount of people complaining about Facebook on Facebook is staggering. Sure Zuc gets bad press and shouldn't be the mouth piece for FB - but Facebook is still the dominant in social media by a huge margin.
Awesome video! I almost agree on everything you said, but I guess one super important point is that locomotion VR is no fun and still makes people sick. And I don't see a solution here atm (And I'm pretty deep in that topic). A locomotion that feels nice and natural is key for VR to become convincing. This issue could be fixed with a brain computer interface that can manipulate the inner ear to generate the feeling of real movement. But this is creepy and quite far away yet.
I think augmented reality is the big future item. Imagine walking around a store or car dealership and getting real time info pop up in your vision. Grocery shopping? Real time nutrition pop ups that can fit into your diet plan or meal prep. Digital items on shelves so stores don't even need to be stocked...
Can't come soon enough for me. I think it's going to be good for the planet as well. The more people are consuming in the virtual world, the less they'll be doing it in real life. Which means less waste. Big thing now will be the ability to transfer items over from one point to the next. Let's say I buy a virtual T-shirt in the meta verse and then I hop on to VRChat, I'd like to show off my T-shirt there as well.

Idk man. I love the idea of a ‘metaverse’, but let’s be honest they’ve been working for 5yrs. on trying to find ONE gaming title that was the turning point for VR (the must have title). Yes, there’s been some great titles, but nothing that made everyone say: I have to play VR. And now we’re talking about making entire worlds in VR? It will happen, but it might be another 20yrs.
i mean honestly metaverse would be fine with me since during the pandemic the air, envoirment, noisepolution in my country/local area have never been better..... + the extremely satisfying view of the sky without a single plane in the sky is the first time i've ever gotten to experience that since i was born i'd guess
As a programmer I think the Metaverse is definately the way forward. Idk about Mark but I hope other companys will do well with the concept.. I truely hope it becomes the next internet, mainly because I have so much love for computers and the digital world. I think what it offers us is amazing. ive always been very sick, and the digital world was my ONLY way out.
Our physiology is not made for this. It's already not made for the information superhighway. Also, good lord, we need to use less energy, not more. God damn it.
Subscribed. But I think the singularity may be closer than you think. The smartest publicly-known AI today is more than an order of magnitude more advanced than GPT-3 - which made a splash in 2020. More than an order of magnitude improvement in a year and a half - that's insane growth.
The metatverse is a Work-in-process. However, how you enter it or access it will be on different levels. You will be able to access via your PC and iphone and even game consoles but this could be called level 1 access. Lever 2 access would be the AR including phones, ipads, VR glasses and transparent overlay screens in cars. Level 3 access would be VR. Level 4 would be the brain interface. Level 5 ...maybe a 100 years from now..would to upload your brain into the verse and fully live there as a full virtual entity. So accessing the Metaverse is different to the actual metaverse and I think people get that mixed up.
There’s so many problems we’ll have to fix before we could truly use VR/AR. Starting by how to govern it and create economies. We don’t want companies to do that.
I think we could see "the metaverse" happen before 2030... _if_ we define the "metaverse" computing era as "the time when more than 1 billion humans spend more than 4 hours per day in virtual or augmented reality environments."
But let me know when you think the Metaverse will happen in these comments!
@@smashedits1678 yeah im thinking within the next 20 years, but not within the next 10. I am wondering what I should invest in, so that I am ahead of the “apple moment” in this new era.
I mean it definitely possible look at spacex 10 years ago vs today. Or ev sales in 2011 vs 2021. There’s a quote here “we often overestimate what we can do in 2 years and underestimate what we could do in 10”.
Great video. I still have a hard time imaging what the metaverse looks like as it takes off.
Firstly I am not sure what would be the driver - entertainment (games, video) is a clear driver, but I have a hard time seeing it scale to 'metaverae' levels any time soon. I think work/productivity would be a better driver to get things started, but it is much less mature. It must make sense for general individual work, not just collaboration or design work.
Secondly I have a hard time imagining the current style of headsets truly taking over. I think the fact that you can't see your surroundings (directly) and the fact that people can't see your face are big detractors in the short to medium term.
I just played vr for fun since 2017 the meta verse seems like a way facebook are finally going to invade our lives thurther and change what the original prupose of vr
4 hours a day! what thats a lot
I’m more excited about mixed reality. Imagine wearing a pair of smart glasses can transform the boring surroundings of my neighborhood into epic mixed reality world - I still have to physically navigate the real physical space, but with “metaverse” world layered upon it. I think once the metaverse platform becomes mature and largely adopted, people will become very creative in its use cases. Look at the internet - so many applications (be it useful or just for fun) today could not have been predicted
re: The idea of AR or "smart glasses" -- this idea made me more at peace with people pulling down statues. But I realized with AR, if all we have is statue pedestals, then with AR one could idealize any statue they want on top of that pedestal. If you identify and honor so-and-so, just AR depict whoever you want on there. It's a huge change that wrecks current "tour busses". Plus I think it's a little "inbred"-thinking to make the world look like how you want it to look - diversity is more than skin and physical things, but we need a diversity of opposing thoughts and ideas. So I'm not saying this is all a GOOD thing - but it is something AR could potentially offer. And "when pigs fly" can become a thing now.
@I Low Quality Rip Everything Not just "your" personal data, but also "presence" information of the community - facial recognition on everybody you pass by. How about this: what if AR projects data automatically about everyone you're passing by? People with criminal records, high-lighted with "danger" indicators? What if the system cross-references with wealthy people, so you know high-rollers are around you (business owners, etc), or maybe doctors or educators? How about icons above people's heads indicating things they are currently interested in -- clubs, sports, hobbies. Maybe even 'relationship status', indicated by a symbol virtualized over people's head? Maybe these could be offered voluntarily, but passive ID scanning is difficult to stop. I get the counterarguments here -- "what are we really solving with all this?" i.e. can't people just talk to each the old fashion way? I suppose a kind of "split" would happen - like we have this split between urban and rural now. This next frontier might be a kind of "hyper-society" or "cyber-society" of those willing to partake in this omni-information system - for all the positives and negatives. I don't have such a strong ego that I'm worried about compromises in personal information - no, I'm not an open book, but on the other hand I don't have anything to hide (from the government). And sure, that's easy to say, until they come after you -- or worse, a mistake or a bitter person frames me for something I was never involved with. Maybe blockchains help some of that, by making it very difficult to corrupt records. // Recall that "nations" is a fairly recent concept. To make modern society, we gave up freedoms - we all have a society security number, etc. And we're tracked by cameras now anyway, in the cities, with all those cameras doing license plate and facial registration, in real time. We've long forgotten what real true freedom means, but I hope that cost has been worth it -- for some amount of peace and prosperity, that resulted in technologies and quality of life that our ancestors couldn't even imagine....
@I Low Quality Rip Everything More personal data than ever? Have you never heard of a phone? That thing can track everything down from your blood pressure to morning routines, moods, iris details.
That's what I've been saying!

I'm kinda worried about the physical and mental health implications the Metaverse could have. Eyes are adjusted to constantly be focusing on objects of different distances rather than one fixed distance which is the case with phones and headsets. There is also the implication of declining fitness and health with video games replacing sports as popular competitive entertainment as he said. Mental health wise I think going from a complex virtual reality back to the real work could be incredibly depressing. Who knows the implications! But I doubt the correct infrastructure to deal with these implications will be set up just as it isn't with social media. And I think it will be almost impossible to control how people interact with the Metaverse meaning that a dark web will also form here but be way more realistic. Thoughts?
Speaking from exp. I started using my devices to play games a lot and i started to get fat. I then took a gym membership and go to the gym everyday for 30 mins just to stay healthy, gaming has yet to impact me negatively. its fun and i have to taken steps to avoid its health consequences. cant say much abt eyes tho. also sometimes i take a break and go out to parks and such which is very relaxing. u said that it will be depressing, its actually the opposite tho, i feel very nice taking breaks from the high fantasy crazy worlds that i immerse myself in. its a good reset before i go and start another game. i think it will be the same with the future metaverse devices. i mean people didnt use phones but do now and still meet and live life at times.
I recommend reading the book brain jack by brian falkner. I think this book really puts VR into perspective. Some people will be able to use VR in a logical and measured way while others will simply become junkies. They will lose all sense of reality and reason. Unable to unplug and lost to their VR media.
Digital Apocalypse
@@MohammadAli-00798 yeah good point, I’m moderation I think the meta verse will be an amazing thing, but lots of money will be made if it’s highly addictive like phones. So will be amazing for many but problematic for some (I think)
If this takes off the way Mark is predicting, the problems were seeing social media and constantly present technology have on psychological and cognitive development in particular is going to look healthy in comparison. Imagine growing up with every impulse ready to be fed at all times. Something we’re already starting to see with virtual schooling and smart phones, only amplified by 1000.
It’s crazy, we don’t even understand how social media and connectivity is influencing development because it’s developing faster than researchers can keep up with. So the consequences on personality, social, cognitive, and developmental psychology are not even completely understood yet. But we’re already seeing increasing rates of personality and mood disorders and anecdotal evidence that suggests that what’s happening to children brain development as a result of all of this connectivity is not great.

I think it might just split people more. People like me who are increasingly disconnecting from the digital world, don’t trust any of these tech companies especially anything from Mark, and want to live in the woods lol.

@@JJ_0134 all of whats happening now is bible prophecy being fulfilled

I think a split is probably eminent between those groups to an extent. It doesn’t help when things are subjected to words like addiction or that what someone does has no purpose. In that logic I mindlessly consume books that serve no purpose. They are a tremendous waste of time as the value of those books are entertainment only. The same could be said for cloud watching…a frivolous activity indeed. I hope that people continue to understand nuance and complexity as we continue to move forward as a society. That we continue to apply compassion and empathy towards complexity and allow people to enjoy what they like how they like it with out judgement. Wether that is fishing or online chat rooms.

So much value in a video! Please, keep bringing us metaverse updates!!!
Have a bunch more deep dives planned.
Back in the 80's, we called this concept Cyberspace (from Neuromancer). Although there is a difference - "cyberspace" was more deliberately associated with being inside the system of a computer (Tron fashion, or the old animated cartoon Reboot), so you saw interactions of communication across a bus, guards over ports, etc. It's odd to me that for all the visual effects that VR and "metaverse" offers, we feel the need to replicate our classic universe rules (physics effects, "walking" on a planar surface, etc) -- maybe because our minds can't quite capture the idea of how to even control a much more articulated being, like something have in 8 arms and can see a full 360. Anyhow, yes, the "metaverse" should lead to establishing a protocol or standard of how to flow ones earned-assets from one verse to another, not just sandboxed MMO experiences - either seamless (ReadyPlayerOne style), or maybe a "passport" system where assets of one are converted and exchanged to another (Robolox having its own economy and currency compared to WoW, etc -- those for now being small island verses). Funny, Richard Gariett also had his idea of "shard" universes back in the Ultima series (UO '96), a similar preview to this idea.
Octupii have decentralized brains in each of those 8 arms to control it. We are still human. No matter what you do in a metaverse it's just fancy computer graphics attached to the face of a walking sack of meat.
@@GlennDavey Forget the graphics. You can be in meta with just a command line terminal interface. The graphics are just one expression of the system state and algorithms involved. In BDO, for the most part you can't trade items (there are some exceptions). What kind of society/government is that? Imagine in real life we had that restriction - like imagine a native American tribe that came up with a culture like this: you took effort X to make item Y, which is bound to you -- you are physically prohibited from transferring item Y to anyone else. So inheritence is not an option (you can't gift the item Y to a friend, even upon death). That kind of thought would never happen in the real world. It's not quite Communist thinking. Back when Cambodia was being taken over, c. 1979 - the new regime ideal was everyone had to work. It's like "if you want to eat, you have to grow the rice" - and on one level, that seems fair, makes sense. But I think one of our greatest boons was the idea of leisure and giving a certain portion of society leisure to just think great ideas and try stuff, so they're not out in the field all day growing rice. But there's a balance - it falls apart when the ones gifted the time of leisure are dumb, corrupt, and self serving (and so unfortunately, eventually there is a sort "reset" -- like the French Revolution; chaos theory is ever present, as things are naturally dispositioned to disorder and decay, we must take great effort to maintain things in an order - an effort we fail to sustain indefinately). MAYBE meta is just that next evolution of leisure, and if you're not bogged down with physical things, some wild new ideas come about (Eddison maybe wouldn't have made the lightbulb if he was busy growing rice). When we're "virtualized" down to atomic level and can walk a system from the inside out, it's a whole new perspective and insight. // A day will come when people realize they can be quadriplegics and function just fine in meta -- no need to feed those arms and legs, and 3D print some artificial lungs and a heart, our "sack of meat" gets smaller and smaller, to eventually (perhaps) "uploading" our brains. // And it's interesting to consider that now a person can be content their whole lives with like 600 sq ft housing, there is absolutely no desire or need for the classic 2000+ sq ft house... Housing market crash, indeed.

This is absolutely terrifying. Neglect of the physical world will inevitably result in neglect of our most basic primal needs as human beings. Sunlight, exercise and human to human physical relationships are vital components in what makes us, us. Without sounding too ominous I think this leads to a dark place. There's a reason depression and suicide rates have been climbing steadily. People lived harder lives centuries ago than we do now, yet were they less happy? I can't help but see a ready player one scenario playing out, but with more dire consequences.

I guess that when the iPhone moment happened (when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone), nobody recognized it as such. And it wasn't a given either. The smart phone's great value isn't in the device itself, but in the fact that it allowed millions of often individual developers with little funding to create applications for it. Seems to me the barriers to entry to become a content creator for the meta verse will be much higher. And to reach billions, it needs to be accessible on low spec mobile computers, because most people cannot afford more.
Correct even if facebook does have so many billions of users, less than 50% could ever hope to afford the high spec technology required for it. But on the other hand, if it's not good looking then it won't feel immerse (if you know pokemon, it's like the difference in BDSP and Pokemon legends areceus) and to make it look great the price needs to be high but if the price is high then a lotta people can't get it...

I live here in Finland and we visited Varjo a few years ago for a school group project and got to try their newest headset developments. It's actually mind blowing how realistic and clear their VR is. Anything other I've tried feels like a joke in comparison, lol :D
I would buy one in a heartbeat if if it had sound. But 2K for an HMD that doesn't even have sound? Yes, you can plug your own stuff in, but I don't like cramming things in my ears. Index's sound is amazing...sounds better than any headphones I've ever heard and it doesn't even touch your ears. I think I'll get a Reverb to satisfy my craving for higher resolution until something better comes out.
i remember when i was like 10 i used to think, man what if there was a game out there that was exactly like life,
now all grown up i realize it would flop because there would be a terms of service, and your data would be used against you to keep you in check.
Your videos are great and such high quality. Keep it up, was truly suprised you're still such a small channel. You'll blow up soon if you're consistent I'm sure
I appreciate that!
I wonder what company will be first to execute this at scale..
I would love to see a video on cryptocurrencies' role in the metaverse. My perspective on cryptocurrencies has just basically been it looks like tulipmania. Oc, I don't know too much about it. But, if it has a role in the metaverse, It seems like cryptocurrency value would be a lot more tangible. It kinda sounds like I'm asking for investing advice, but I really just think a technical explanation of their connection would be very interesting.
I think the scariest thing about a 3D Metaverse by far, is that it might bring back dead people. Not in the way anyone's thinking, and for sure it'll lack fidelity. But what if the AI solves that infidelity problem.
this meta thing goes against principle of death..... like you have to let go of people, making a vr version of the deceased does nothing but meddle with the persons feelings towards the deceased. forget about that, even if some of us dont believe in a religion, its obvious that humans wont survive long, our existence is going to decline sooner or later, it useless to spend money on something that teleports us into a fake dimension...…
metaverse is nothing but trouble
Feeding AI biographies and then making interactive avatars based on the information? If you meant that, it's already a thing.
@@theseeker3073 Behavioural and personality
@@nishathunnisa1431 Idk how is it with you, but I'd love to interact with an avatar based on Plato, Hannibal Barca, Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, or Nikola Tesla. So many exciting minds in history. Feed the AI with every piece of information that exists about the person, then you have a synthesized historical person that you can ask anything regarding them and have entire conversations with them. The potential of this for education is just immense.
@@JewLiSmile Yeah that already exists and is trialled in education technology.
A truly great reflection on metaverse and tech in general. Totally recommend.

You know the metaverse doesnt need to be full VR, right? Take a look at upcoming blockchain games. Within 5 or so years, we will have fully functioning "metaverses" within different blockchain games where every one can be a part of, build its own application or even game which docks to the the given economy or infrastructure.
Why do games need to be in a blockchain
That justt seems useless
blockchain games?
What practical purpose do blockchain games even hold
Its pretty shit if you literally can't edit your own game isnt it?
Just tryna get those crypto stonks I see
Man! Your presentation is off the hook... Keep these amazing videos coming, you've just won a fan.
The most underrated channel ever
the lead into the next video at the end was a great idea , im not sure ive ever seen other channels use it.
one factor that sets second life apart from most other platforms, one "could" concider a metaverse, it that's its one single cohesive and persistant virtual world, that's built and constantly changed from within, by the users. (a bit like a minecraft server, but infinitely more elaborate) unlike MMOs and online games, such as roblox or WoW, or the likes of VR chat, that are inherently scattered over unchanging worlds or maps, and instances of those.
dated as it might be, over 18 years old, but SL is still an incredibly interresting showcase, of what a virtual world can be.
Yes but interface of SL is bit complicated for me to use, i hope in future Second Life Developers will make one shop and one interface more simple like wear clothes, or make clothes/accessories fit the body, i like alot SL but interface it has to become more intuitive for everyone.
@@Katy950 that's not gonna happen. you couldnt simplify the UI, without simplifying the platform itself. and SL is inherently very complex and nerdy, and gives the user almost limitless control. but i have to agree, that it's an absolute handfull, with the complexity of a foreign operating system, and a steep learning curve, making it .. not the most acessible to newcomers.
in 2011, linden labs did try to streamline most of the UI into a sidebar with the SL viewer 2, sacrificing a lot of the multitasking and customizability options of the client. it was pretty much universally hated, because it felt needlessly limiting, dumbed down and partonizing to existing users. but you may wanna give some 3rd party viewers a try sometimes.
PS: there is the second life market place, at least. initially the whole ting with clothing was much easier, but with mesh avatars and clothing, it's a royal pain in the ass, i'm doing my best to avoid. SL is very open, and content is exclusively created by users, with no enforced standards. so often the parts of one avatar maker will not be compartible with another one's.
2 videos in a row... Incredibly informative and well put together. Thank you!
Great quality. Don't let off the gas. You're in the algo!!!

Just subscribed. Excellent analysis, I think this channel deserves more subs!
11:16 That’s when announced the new name of his company. He didn’t say here’s Metaverse. Just like the Information Highway, it was not built in a day. It would take time, innovative efforts from many companies and continue to evolve. We are just starting to see decentralized autonomous organization popping up everywhere, decentralized finance spreading our wealth or decentralized Apps exposing to true high availability and so on. This reminds me when iPhone giving us the way into the mobile browsing when not all sits were ready for mobile edition browsing experiences. It takes time but bold moves from companies like Facebook or Meta, NVidia, Adobe, Roblox, Microsoft, Apple , Google, and list goes on. But what Facebook or Meta did was, triggered a paradigm shift of the whole ideology of the Metaverse. Before that, people were still innovating toward Web 3.0. But Facebook/Meta said, let’s do it! 😎
I rather buy a physical house and lot than buy a digital house and lot in meta verse. This the you own nothing (physically) and be happy.
Physical ownership is an illusion anyway. A bunch of atoms doesn't belong to you if you think about it.
@@bastialonso8354 No ones denying its a social construct. He's just saying its better for now at least.
I love the coverage you've done so far with the Metaverse. Stoked to see how it unfolds with newer additions getting put out!
Awesome explanation, wud really love to know more about this and how can I as an individual be part of this massive shift that I can see is going to happen.
Definitely working on more Metaverse related content. There are lots of ways to get involved. You can learn programming, game development, 3D art. You could work at any of the dozens of companies that have metaverse initiatives. You could also go deep in crypto, since there are tons of Metaverse / Web3 projects there. DM me on Twitter if you want to chat more!
I would start by buying a Quest 2 or another VR headset if you don't have one already.
I'm calling it now, people will be dating virtually and even getting married (legally) in the Metaverse within the next 20 years. The Metaverse is going to change things in ways we have not seen since the birth of the consumer internet in the mid to late 90's. I'm ready for the ride.
Well im telling you now ,, be ready for that ride in about 5 years , not 20.. it’s here
Absolutely
No one will like metaverse, it's just a buzzword which serves no purpose.
Ask actual Software Engineers, they will laugh at your metaverse idea
@@iGhostr ummm 🤔 the software engineers are the ones who is creating the metaverse… this is a real thing ,,, so much, that you’re watching this video….
@@iGhostr Major companies like Intel, Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Epic and others are investigating billions of dollars right now to develop it. Are you saying that these companies are not smart enough to know where to invest their hard owned dollars?

I'm already nearsighted so I probably see in 2 K. 😂

This is quality. Keep it up!
Thanks!
I'm studying (purchasing) behavior of players in Augmented Reality with an AR game I made for my thesis. This Metaverse video gave me lot of new ideas! Thanks!
I spent $1000 on a Steam Index VR headset.
It makes for a great paperweight.
Seriously, I used it for maybe a total of 30-40 hours. I have it sitting beside me right now, untouched in over 8 months. Why? a few reasons. First, there honestly wasn't much to do with it. There were a whole host of demos to play, and like only 1 or 2 actual games. Since then there was a crappy VR MMO that launched. A few fully dedicated VR games that kinda suck, to be honest. Anyway, the 2nd problem I have is eye strain. I wear glasses and so I have to wear them while wearing the headset. I can play for maybe 10-15 minutes at most per day without ending up with a severe headache. I tried to just use it as a virtual theater to watch movies on. I can't even get 1/2 through a film without my eyes hurting.
So yeah, I have a $1,000 paperweight.
Yeah that's a good point. I'm kinda worried about the physical and mental health implications the Metaverse could have. Eyes are adjusted to constantly be focusing on objects of different distances rather than one fixed distance which is the case with phones and headsets. There is also the implication of declining fitness and health with video games replacing sports as popular competitive entertainment as he said. Mental health wise I think going from a complex virtual reality back to the real work could be incredibly depressing. Who knows the implications! But I doubt the correct infrastructure to deal with these implications will be set up just as it isn't with social media. And I think it will be almost impossible to control how people interact with the Metaverse meaning that a dark web will also form here but be way more realistic. Thoughts?
@@tompenny5684 not sure if you know now but vrwave let's you order lenses for your headset. Not that expensive and no need to wear glasses. Cheers
Your gift is your voice, other UA-camrs sound annoying lol keep it up! 🙌
Great analysis John.
‘Metaverse’ is here, people already walking the streets glued to their phones. Can’t leave a room in their own house without their phones.
The full immersion VR vision is the end game. Likely starting with a device switch from ‘smartphone’ to smart-AR glasses… saves on the arm strain.
Just saw a first video from you (Facebook v Microsoft meta verse). This is the first time I instantly followed a channel. Damn you’re good at this
Imagine being fact checked in VR in real time in the middle of a conversation with a friend. Imagine how amazing that would be to be constantly corrected by a silicon Valley social media application.
Imagine investing so much in it only to get banned for a stupid status update.
And they take all your money.
Awesome

I watched a video where they talked about the meta, but I didn’t have a clue what it was. Now I do. Thanks for the explanation. I don’t do any kind of social media except here on UA-cam, so I was rather in the dark about the whole thing. Being an older person, I hope I’m dead and gone before it becomes reality.
The metaverse isn’t all about VR. The metaverse is when technology is 90-100% involved in our lives. VR isn’t necessarily the only way to immerse in this
Isn't it already? Or atleast for some people

@@luigicolella9105 Cool, good to know.
Your story telling is next level
As we've discovered and mapped out all the continents and partitioned all the land masses -- we can still explore and map out portions of the ocean, and underwater cities (or even countries) might someday be a thing -- but we're too fragile for space travel. The next "frontier" may very well be a virtualized country -- for a language, we're already seeing a bit of a return to hieroglyphics (emojis, in a way) and shorthand notation, and people are playing videos back at 1.4X speed or faster just to save time. And currency, being replaced with crypto -- gold is far better used as a corrosion resistant material in electronics and spacecraft, the idea of precious metals as currency is done. What stops an entire country forming "in the metaverse" with its own culture, language, currency? There is no bedtime for kids in this verse, there are no timezones, and while you can be blocked by others -- for the most part your thoughts and ideas can't be censored. And not only does gender not matter in this verse, an individual can hold many identities at the same time. Bluray was trumped by the rise of streaming. 3D printing could be trumped by AR and everything going virtual. Not only "print is dead" but the entire physical world is dead -- I don't need tablets or any physical thing, if I can just virtualize everything I do. I like VR experiences since you don't have to deal with insects and bug bites -- but I do miss the sensation of smells, of a well cooked meal or scent of flowers. 1000 years from now, they'll see us so archaic and primitive, just as we look back 1000 years from now.
I see what you are saying. I agree. Don’t you think there will be a need for people in the future that aren’t connected to the Meta to keep things functioning in the real world. I’m curious what you think about that.
Can't wait to eat virtual food and pretend not to starve to death.
Also take a virtual dump on a toilet.
Will be amazing.
Fingers crossed fact checkers check everyone in real time and censor them for having an opinion.
@@Sirdon77 Absolutely, in the near term. I live out in the country, off-grid - solar arrays and well-pumps for water. But as that equipment fails, yep, I still depend on manufacturers to make them (balanced with my own contribution to afford whatever the repair cost might be). And that's a concern I have about "city folk" who may take for granted on just how things work - like in the movie Fight Club or even Fifth Element, there is some dialog related to idea that it's a lot of people running around that ultimately makes things work -- from water treatment, power plants, road maintenance, etc. -- like the ending credits of a movie, all those hundreds of people involved that you never saw. I've had co-workers scoff at the idea of having kids - like it's "inconvenient." But when I look at a worker - like a delivery person or mechanic - I think "that's somebody's kid" and appreciate all the time invested in creating that talent. So, if people get too overly selfish and stop having kids, then r.i.p. a lot of services we all take for granted. BUT, here's the thing..... The only thing stopping us from invitro birth farms is our ideals of social norms (the old sci-fi Space Above and Beyond had some dialog related to this), plus our great ideal of equality -- which is certainly a noble ideal, but at the end of the day there are classes: you have some people who aren't quite college material or just are content at a daily grind job, versus bully-like people who are hard driven AND have great ideas (put another way: not everyone is an Elon Musk and holds meetings at 3am and works till 2am the next day, it's some people being "better" but certainly some people are more "driven"). Also, long term, we may replicate our entire intellect into meta or AI -- sure, that may be a couple hundreds years away. But that's sort of key to space travel - we can't travel as bags of water, but we could travel as a small SD chip. Right now, it's a fad to emulate things like eating, drinking, waste, stamina - as we try to replicate the physical universe as we know it. We'll get over that fad eventually, and when someone can make an NPC that's so advanced you can't tell it's not a traditional human intellect (i.e. maybe "uploading our brains") then we're on that path to being done with the physical world as we know it, and our traditional physical limitations (both the pain of that, but also the joy of that). No it's not a change that happens overnight, but it is a path we're going down with this meta-stuff. // Put another way: there are people in Japan who go months if not years without ever seeing another person physically. Absolutely that lifestyle only exist due to the generosity of thousands of people they don't see - to keep power running, deliver food, etc. One of our greatest inventions maybe 120 years ago was the high-rise and elevators -- people got off ground level, and could spend more leisure time just THINKING and doing stuff in their own space. Yes, we still have a dependency and relationship with the physical world - but this meta is like the new frontier, a new wild-wild west, and there will be a growing divide between the "old" and "new" world. Physical bodies get smaller, maybe you don't actually need legs and arms to function in meta -- yep, absolutely that sounds "weird" to most of us right now. But if our physical presence is wrecking the environment, or our physical existence is destroyed by biological warefare, well - we can migrate into a virtual resilient network (yea, someone could pull the power plug - but it really is a resilient network with data-centers now in orbit).
@@v8matey The "real time" fact checking and censor ship is concerning to me. As a related idea, YT automatically scans for copyright violations. Separate to whether you agree or disagree this is a Good Thing or Not - the point is: it's automatically enforcement of policy. There is no moderation or human element involved. A judge can have leeway in sentencing, to some extent. In our town, they tried those red-light detectors and automatic tickets - it sent so many tickets, people weren't paying it, and it just made a mess for everyone, so they've removed it (since trying to make money off it couldn't exceed the cost of the system, something like that). My point, people talk about judges being corrupt and such - but that was part of the humanity. Say you stole a car -- that's bad. But a judge (and jury) could look at the circumstances, and maybe say "well, ok, someone stole your baby carriage with your baby in it, and you were compelled to borrow a car to go after that..." and decide community service instead of jail time (it's just a hypothetical extreme for the point). But when you have a robot servicing justice -- no human element, no compassion or understanding the context. "you played 2 minutes of Lady Gaga, your video is banned." Or maybe you played 2 minutes of some audio from some international band, that you don't even know if they exist anymore. The old system was never perfect, but it allowed for some "forgiveness" that meant diversification - people could mix and experiment with stuff. I don't want every YTer spending time trying to come up with original background music - that's not efficient. On the other hand, no, not every artist should get a mansion and million dollars for their 3 minute music creation. To phrase this another way: in the old days, it was 1:1 where an enforcer found a violation, and sentencing happened. Now it's imbalanced, we have automated enforces constantly scanning (and consuming associated resources with that scanning) for violations -- there is no leeway, there is no "grease" to let the "small violations" alone. This relates to the overall idea of lack of modern moderation in any digital content - we can't pay a moderator enough, and in any case, they can't moderate fast enough when EVERYONE has a voice. // So there are two points here, (1) the issue of copyright and its duration, and applying that on a global scale -- I'm in my own little local market, trying to make a spoof video for no-profit, but I'm banned because a portion sounds similar to this Mongolian band, etc. (2) the robotic and automated enforcement of policy. As a small example, back in the 1980s when my older sister worked at the skating ring -- she could let me in for free. Just a perk of the job. Now-a-days when everything is fully automated and systematic, there is no leeway, and these implicit "perks" that made really boring jobs bearable are all gone. That's the cost of automated enforcement of policy. Another small example is at drive-thru - you've got the person taking orders and handling your money, then they ask you to move forward so they handle the next customer more quickly. My old pastor met his wife by taking time to chit-chat at a drive-thru. Good lord managers, give these people some relief, let them slack a little.
I'll try to simplify the thought here: to "escape" in the past, Europeans went to the Americas and Australia. That option (on land) no longer exists, and ocean and space is very difficult for us. So, the next "frontier" could very well be virtual reality/cyberspace - where conceptually physical political entities may not have any jurisdiction (particularly if they can't associate a virtual identity with any physical one). Europeans "escaped" Europe and religious persecution. Perhaps meta is a potential way to escape modern social persecution - to either create your own verse, or to create island-verses of like-minded entities. And with enough entities involved, at what point does it become its own "nation" of sorts with its own sub-culture?
The idea of this nft/blockchain based metaverse is basically a second internet for vr users. To create a second vr internet or “metaverse” would require an operating system as universal as windows or android, and a universal file for the avatars like the jpeg is for pictures. Meta wants this but only for themselves, essentially a new internet that they own 100%.
Imagine dying and uploading ur mind to the metaverse...

Also don't give the 2000s credit. They already thought this kind of technology would exist by 2010. There's an amazing video about this by knowledgehub under a series with a title along the words of "2000s predictions of the 2020" or smth like that.

Great video. One little thing though, I believe the iPhone was announced at macworld and was the main product presented and not a "one more thing". Though, Steve Jobs definitely was known for that line. Totally agree Mark was trying to aim for Steve Jobs but lacks a lot of polish and the a product that people can get their hands on. Jobs knew how to design a solid product, build hype and get media attention.
That's interesting... I didn't know that! I'll have to do more research to find the full original context. Thanks for pointing this out, I really try and get all these details right.
Yes, the iPhone was the main release of the night. Steve really knew how to create simple amazing products, but never had a single effort for social interactions, so for this part Mark needs to aim for himself tho. Lol
The amount of people complaining about Facebook on Facebook is staggering.
Sure Zuc gets bad press and shouldn't be the mouth piece for FB - but Facebook is still the dominant in social media by a huge margin.
Awesome video! I almost agree on everything you said, but I guess one super important point is that locomotion VR is no fun and still makes people sick. And I don't see a solution here atm (And I'm pretty deep in that topic). A locomotion that feels nice and natural is key for VR to become convincing. This issue could be fixed with a brain computer interface that can manipulate the inner ear to generate the feeling of real movement. But this is creepy and quite far away yet.
I think augmented reality is the big future item. Imagine walking around a store or car dealership and getting real time info pop up in your vision. Grocery shopping? Real time nutrition pop ups that can fit into your diet plan or meal prep. Digital items on shelves so stores don't even need to be stocked...
Can't come soon enough for me. I think it's going to be good for the planet as well. The more people are consuming in the virtual world, the less they'll be doing it in real life. Which means less waste. Big thing now will be the ability to transfer items over from one point to the next.
Let's say I buy a virtual T-shirt in the meta verse and then I hop on to VRChat, I'd like to show off my T-shirt there as well.
That's a good perspective. I think there are definitely risks to moving in this direction, but overall it can be positive if we work hard enough.
But honestly it feels like we're just being caged, we can't be human anymore we must be controlled by big corp.

Great video man! you got me subscribed! Awesome work!
Idk man. I love the idea of a ‘metaverse’, but let’s be honest they’ve been working for 5yrs. on trying to find ONE gaming title that was the turning point for VR (the must have title).
Yes, there’s been some great titles, but nothing that made everyone say: I have to play VR.
And now we’re talking about making entire worlds in VR?
It will happen, but it might be another 20yrs.
right? I mean seriously from what i saw from the metaverse presentation there is nothing even close to games i can play now.
Wow, this is a good channel! You will go far my friend 🙂
i mean honestly metaverse would be fine with me since during the pandemic the air, envoirment, noisepolution in my country/local area have never been better..... + the extremely satisfying view of the sky without a single plane in the sky is the first time i've ever gotten to experience that since i was born i'd guess
As a programmer I think the Metaverse is definately the way forward. Idk about Mark but I hope other companys will do well with the concept.. I truely hope it becomes the next internet, mainly because I have so much love for computers and the digital world. I think what it offers us is amazing. ive always been very sick, and the digital world was my ONLY way out.

The Varjo Aero is less than 1/3 the price of the XR-3, and no annual fee. (But you still need to get Index controllers and base stations)
The metatverse is a Work-in-process. However, how you enter it or access it will be on different levels. You will be able to access via your PC and iphone and even game consoles but this could be called level 1 access. Lever 2 access would be the AR including phones, ipads, VR glasses and transparent overlay screens in cars. Level 3 access would be VR. Level 4 would be the brain interface. Level 5 ...maybe a 100 years from now..would to upload your brain into the verse and fully live there as a full virtual entity. So accessing the Metaverse is different to the actual metaverse and I think people get that mixed up.
