Apple Google Spotify“The Metaverse” is a term that defies easy definition. Even before you start to outline its features, you first have to ask if it’s the metaverse, a metaverse, or if it’s metaverses (plural) you’re discussing.
But regardless of how you define it, The Metaverse is creating waves in the tech sector. Several companies have put it at the center of their growth strategies – and, in the case of Facebook, even changed their name to include it.
But what are the building blocks of a Metaverse? If it’s simply a collection of digital spaces, how is it different from a 3D film? And do you even need a VR headset to get there?
Michael Wade says what makes the Metaverse is immersion and participation, and Amit Joshi agrees, saying you can’t have one without the other. In episode three of Mike and Amit Talk Tech, these two award-winning professors ask how the Metaverse is developing, how much time we’ll spend using it, and whether companies will need a ‘Metaverse strategy’ to compete in tomorrow’s economy.
