Anyone really want to to devote time and effort to that?

The Metaverse is already here in the form of Fortnite and Minecraft. Meta (the company) dominates the hardware market because their VR headsets are so heavily subsidized, but its Horizon business collaboration platform is simply pathetic. My company issued us all with Oculus Quest 2s and I tried Horizon Mettings. The whiteboarding is atrociously low-res and was clearly designed by Americans with plenty of room to move their arms around, not people working in cramped European or Asian home offices. They would have done much better to issue decent webcams and iPads with Apple Pencils for collaboration.

I think this is a good point, the reason why people are drawn to “experiences” is when they cannot get that anywhere else without much friction. In my conversation with Mic I talked about frictionless interaction around experiences.

Building is fun, creating designs to share and sell is fun and interacting with interesting people is fun but it all gets kind of tired and rote after a while. One thing that kept me coming back to Second Life that is missing in today’s VR social platforms is the inclusion of adult areas where people can express their sexuality and not get banned, blocked and forever harassed. Sex has always pushed the internet forward and has always been a financial pillar to online success for creators and there should be a place for them in the metaverse. Sadly, the major corporations are all about being a nanny state making sure no one is ever offended or made to feel “uncomfortable” and I feel this is hurting our virtual future just as it is hurting us all in our real lives.
