Would not it is being awesome, if you could just knock out this monster in a semi-real semi-virtual world and just moments after you could explore such impressive ancient places Facebook promises that you will be able to do just that in 5 to 10 years in its so-called metaverse whether this is just another ploy to get money off you and if it is technically possible at all is what we will be explaining now dancing at a live concert virtually or digitally meeting friends who live on the other side of the world at a party and perhaps just casually meeting up with Justin Bieber and joining him for a drink would not that be awesome these are all face book’s visions for a metaverse.
That is supposed to grow step by step how serious Facebook takes this all can be seen by its recent change of name into meta, it is all a bit ready player on the Matrix or Star Trek helideck in the next five to ten years.
It is a very ambitious goal so far virtual reality is mostly used by gamers and geeks and only those that can afford it will probably know some precursors to metaverse the online platform second life where you can live a whole other life to Pokémon Go which was a huge hit.
A couple of years ago and which also received an augmented reality mode upgrade to the PlayStation 4 VR game dreams which allows players to do anything from mini-games to creating virtual art, but Facebook slash meter wants to go even further so far all there is are nice computer animations for advertising, but the company is not starting from scratch in 2014 it took over the VR goggles producer oculus and just recently the augmented reality goggles Ray Ban stories were released media is currently working on new AR goggles, there is already the virtual world horizon it consists of horizon home a virtual living room that lets you invite online friends it also includes horizon workrooms a VR surrounding for business meetings however it is not very refined yet and has received a lot of negative online reviews likewise other companies are also looking into the possibility of creating a type of meta worse like Nvidia with its real time simulator universe which lets graphic designers work together virtually or the online games pad from Roblox which lets users create their computer games to play with others the video game developer epic games is also working on its metaverse idea to combine its maker hit Fortnite with other franchise universes like marvel so much for the plans to create a type of metaverse and yes it all looks great, but how is it supposed to work technically Mark Zuckerberg has not said a word on how much data his new prestige project is going to consume chip manufacturer Qualcomm expects a live virtual reality surrounding to need around 200 megabytes per second this would be almost impossible with a 4g internet connection that often has download speeds around 30 megabytes per second instead you would need the latest mobile communication standard 5g, but it will take some time until this network has been fully developed across the globe and speaking of computing power today even the most powerful stationary computers will be unable to cope with these apps you will need brand new and expensive VR or AR goggles to experience this and then there is the issue of media is very own motivation for coming up with this whole idea one part of the presentation, in particular, made us think twice we are also building a horizon marketplace where creators can sell and share 3d digital items, and we hope that this will enable a lot more commerce and help grow the overall metaverse economy, again that mater will collect a lot of information on you that you are supposed to keep calm and buy digital clothes and who knows perhaps you can only access this lovely jungle over thereafter passing the paywall and once you are there ads might pop up everywhere there are several reasons to suspect media is trying to set up its next monopoly news broadcaster dug out a memo from 2018 where an oculus manager of the time demanded that other businesses get excluded from metaverse today, if metaverse should be successful we will have to talk about addiction again considering that World of Warcraft was already really addictive to people, what will it be like in a metaverse, of course, all of this is only relevant if you and everyone else is convinced by the idea you might also say I can meet up with my friends and play ping pong in real life, why would I need a parallel virtual world ideally metaverse will become a dream world where anything is possible and a huge job engine media wants to create 10000 jobs in Europe alone.
