How the Metaverse will change the world of gaming | Nicole Lazzaro | TEDxBoston

For 48 years of game GUIs, WIMPS reigned supreme. The dominant paradigm of Windows, Icons, Mouse, Pointer, and Solo play has made gaming (and the rest of computing) accessible to the average person. Now enter the Metaverse these flat screen 2D relics feel like wet newspaper stuck to the face. Supplying only a pancake layer of interaction in what players expect to be an immersive 3D world shortchanges a player’s Metaverse Dreams. After upgrading to Metaverse friendly technology, platforms, and business models; join us to understand how to design UX that immerses the player in ways that only the Metaverse can. Come learn 5 UX approaches to transform your game’s pancake WIMPS to Metaverse WHOAS. Even if your flatscreen game focuses on traditional mechanics, come grab the red pill and make whatever you’re working on feel more like the Metaverse.

During my typical childhood, climbing ancient temples in Egypt with my governess while my father was on safari hunting the local miscreants, I thought, “how can I monetize this memory so generations to come can pay me for access to this experience.” Now that my trust fund has been turned over to me, I plan to do just that.

I might be wrong but I don't think Nicole has played many video games in her life because everything she talked about is already possible today with your typical video games and VR.
This feels more like an ad for her company than anything else.
Im down to being convinced by the whole Metaverse thing but so far no one has showed me anything that I can't already do today.

You mean: How can we monetize more stuff so our investors are happier?

[Kurthlin]

TEDx talks are usually interesting but I'll pass on this

[jlsaproductions]

stop capping we all know y'all just wanna monetize it more now that gaming is mainstream now

Gosh how I love the smell of fresh Troll in the morning.
Heads up, trending in the Troll-verse only encourages me.
Much love to you all.
Game On! ✨💜 🕹👾🌈

More like how companies will force metaverae into gaming

I think it's quite funny that Mark Zuckerberg looks more human in the metaverse than in real life.

Okay so I have no problem with people who had ideas or started and build amazing things who then briefly mention them on their tedxtalk. But this right here is a commercial for the metaverse - that's barely even a tedtalk by my definition. There's nothing to learn from this, francly the "new ideas" she's presenting mostly already exist in games and vr technologies. If the metaverse was as innovative as she presents it I would've maybe been okay with this "talk". Regaring ideas worth sharing it's really hard to bear how she's talking for 10 minutes while saing nothing meaningful.

It wont even change a thing. Meta is dying fast and hard.

[christopherjared]

i got a weird suspicion about Metaverse

[Kami]

It will not change gaming. You're not even a gamer.

[inaberger]

Funny how no one asks the gamers what they want, and it is not the metaverse.

[toaster]

Take your metaverse and stuff it. Leave the gaming to the real gamers and stop trying to sell us NFTs.

[phreshjeff]

The meta verse literally already exists in gaming

[marcusfenix]

Have you ever tried wearing a VR headset for more than an hour? The Metaverse looks like an 8yr old designed it too...good luck with your corporate FB overlords

[StasiSLG]

TEDx now doing adverts :? ... how low can you fall .?.

[bradleyfitzik]

Gaming will stay the same as it is now except for some more VR variety. Metaverse will be for education mainly.

[Bkn_zv]

Have u heard of VR Chat? Or any other VR games?







I wouldn't be surprised if she actually never played any video games, and I'm pretty sure her "game design consulting company" is scamming her
