What are the buisness applications of Metaverse?

AR and VR are definitely a thing already - only question is will it become ubiquitous like the smartphone or not in a few years. A lot of normies think “metavers” is just about having virtual meetings in cartoonish avatars - but its really about the technology (both hardware and software) that is enabling it. In ~10 years you could be wearing AR glasses (a la Google glasses - that was really ahead of its time) instead of a phone, which can project full visual acuity video to you eyes (either augmenting what you see or or giving you a completely immersive virtual experience), and it will take inputs by you gestures or even directly reading your nerve signals. Once we are there the usecases are literally infinite.
Here Meta’s tech demo from this year, gives you an idea of the current start of the art.

bhai for all essence it has, it all finally ends at one simple thing, cost.
currently VR tech is damn expensive from headsets to computers that run entire thing and even internet connection - result is very niche category hobbyists (gamers included) are using it while most commoners consider it a novelty experience.
unless they make it cheaper enough it won't see the kind of rise.

It was same for mobile phone and laptop once now see what is the state.
I am sure it will get cheap.

that is not the main issue,there is not much network effect in its favour.why should any user in any other social media viewing platform jump ship for meta.

what extra essential stuff is being provided,what niche activity or facility other than vr bodies are being provided by the meta platform?What is its USP that is useful for common people that meta can be offered by meta now and in the near future(5-10 years).

messaging and video sharing platform industry of various kinds and formats is already being saturated.

it unique selling point is only for hobbyists having a specific niche at max.most likely it is a fad.its technology might be revolutionary if taken to it logical conclusion and will surely get cheaper with time as with all things.but why do you need a social media platform attached to it for it use?

i wonder the same thing . read that he spend 100 billion on this vr metaverse project.

i think he is secretly using the money to build a space ship so he can go back to his planet.

What you are describing is essentially a technology problem, which is what these companies are working on, each year they will become less clunky have better performance and cheaper too, just like mobile phone over the last couple of decades. Of course the cost may never come down to present day low end smartphones but then to put it into perspective Apple today is selling >250 million phones a year, with a median selling price reportedly around $800-900 fir a single unit, so it may not have to be very cheap to go mainstream.

Tho phone is a completely different thing.
What purpose would meta verse serve in our daily life

But it actually kinda is - think about how we interact with the digital world and how it has evolved over the years. We started off with the Desktop/laptop computer - very few people had it and it had limited portability and use. Now we primarily rely on smartphones, it’s a lot more ubiquitous, we can take it with us anywhere we go, record our experiences (photos & videos), consume news and content, and lets us interface with most services (shopping, payments and a million other things). But this technology has now not only matured but also mostly plateaued - increasing computational power, communication speed, better camera & screen will not really result in a corresponding enhancement of your experience. Some thing has to give, there has to be a fundamental change in how we interact with the digital word, which will be a seamless extension of the physical world, and it will more or less change everything.
Although I’m not saying that the exact product that Zuck is building is going to necessarily succeed but the underlying tech will almost certainly become more pervasive - maybe someone else will package it better and be more successful.

What bs is now this metaverse?
Is it part of our universe ?

 

[prasadr14]

Metaverse will be a hit as well as a nightmare.

Humans need constant activity, to each and every part of their body to lead a healthy life.
The VR stuff while sounding exotic, is not practical.

I dislike the cartoonish 3D avatars. WTF. Get a better art style, duh.

Also, Meta's stock has been plummeting. Fucking 70% loss in one year. Meta went from $1 Trillion a year ago to some $268 Billion (on 28/10/2022).

Should've shorted the f out of it.

Facebook was way overvalued. It was due for a market correction and if Zuckerberg succeeds with Meta, it will surpass $1T market cap.

Meta is future addiction. Yiu may or may not get addicted. But watch out your children and grandchildren shall be. Headset prices slash in future. Graphics shall improve.

Think mobile phones. They were very expensive to own operate and were very bulky initial years. And what do you see now?
Zuckerberg company many succeed or may not, but technology is here to stay

It will succeed.
the technology I mean.

I can easily see this technology having monstrous impact in medicine, military application, industrial etc etc.

I have also no doubt this is disruptive tech and another .. naah a very strong addictive and brain programming technology. I just doubt whether meta shall be able to rake the moolah first. It seems that it may however celebrate many worlds first in VR domain,

This is an actual headstone at the Delhi War Cemetery - think @elonmusk would it interesting. It marks the resting place at Delhi War Cemetery of a private in The Border Regiment who passed on 12th September 1942 at the age of 20.
