NFT Workshop: Metaverse - Recap (IRL in Atlanta), April 2022

This is a recap of Umba Daima's NFT Workshop focusing on Metaverse and 3D worlds. The workshop took place in-person on April 25, 2022. UD braught guest speakers together to share their experience, ideas and knowledge about this hot topic, the Metaverese!

The term "Metaverse" doesn't really refer to any one specific type of technology, but rather a broad shift in how we interact with technology. Broadly speaking, the technologies that make up the metaverse can include virtual reality—as well as augmented reality that combines aspects of the digital and physical worlds. However, it doesn't require that those spaces be exclusively accessed via VR or AR. A virtual world, like aspects of Fortnite that can be accessed through PCs, game consoles, and even phones, could be metaversal.

Metaverse also translates to a digital economy, where users can create, buy, and sell goods. And, in the more idealistic visions of the metaverse, it's interoperable, allowing you to take virtual items like clothes or cars from one platform to another. In the real world, you can buy a shirt from the mall and then wear it to a movie theater. Right now, most platforms have virtual identities, avatars, and inventories that are tied to just one platform, but a metaverse might allow you to create a persona that you can take everywhere as easily as you can copy your profile picture from one social network to another.

On April 22nd Umba Daima invited special guests to break down what The Metaverse is and how it is going to impact your life and the world at large.
