The future of an immersive Metaverse | Artur Sychov | TEDxUNYP

Is a Virtual Reality Metaverse based on blockchain and a decentralized economy our future? Will virtual marketplaces filled with NFTs act as an equitable replacement for our existing infrastructure, giving access to billions of people that would otherwise lack access to financial resources and ways to earn a living?

People in 2040 searching on YouTube: How to live in reality or what is reality and how can we live in reality?

The problem is never the tool,
It is the way you use it. VR is such a powerful tool. People will be addicted because they will compensate from a lack of life purpose and their malaise…like phones today. As Bob Marley said : You can’t run away from yourself. Good luck everyone.

Before they build the metaverse, could someone fix the outdoor speaker at my local drive through? I can't understand the employee taking orders that is inside only 30 feet away and I have to ask them to repeat themselves.

“VR mimics our reality but makes it more immersive.”

I truly hope future generations don’t find VR more immersive than reality itself.

this is the prologue to every dystopian scifi novel.

I'm gonna go for a run outside, in nature.

[billsteinbuechler]

I wonder if VR could help feed the hungry, protect whats left of the rainforest, and teach our children the joy of serving others out of kindness and compassion... OR might it eventually leave us feeling even more isolated, unsatisfied, and morally bankrupt than cell phones and computers have already.

People in 2019 = do we live in a simulation?
People in 2050 living in the simulation = Are we living in a universe?

Work on yourself, there is no limit to what you can achieve. Trade bitcoin today and become a future millionaire. Don't let the new online money opportunity pass you by. Fortunately great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.

"Meta" means something entirely different than "beyond, future". Ironically, widespread adoption before an unbiased meta analysis of the human implications is the scariest thing about the Metaverse.

As soon as this technology becomes easily accessible and affordable to the average person, everyone will pick it up instantly

[coldcrush]

What better way for an entity to subdue the public than have them spend all their energy and time in a fake world instead of effecting change in the real world...

[ashfox]

People acting like its the end of the world yet its just an advanced immersive video game. A chance to interact with your family that lives on the other side world. Another creative way to work and express yourself. I’m all for nature and going outside, and I also enjoy video games and technology. It’s up to you to have balance in your own life.

as an introvert, i am still confused if I should celebrate or not with this new tech

[djcardwell]

Now my wife can own me in the universe and the metaverse

METAVERSE IS THE FUTURE: Name another industry that combines finance, fashion, entertainment, social platforms, art, vr, ar, etc.

[mattmadonia]

I'm glad many people are calling this out for what it is. This is the beginning of the end for human society. It's part of the great reset (You'll own nothing and be happy). Unfortunately that's the joke, people won't be happy. Terrible things come from trying to escape reality. Big things, and bad things, come from small beginnings.

[detroitredwings]

Technology is not inherently dangerous, disruptive or corrupted but mankind has proven over and over again, we'll always find a way to make it so. I honestly fear what this will end up being used for. I don't like the idea of telling other people what they should or shouldn't do with their lives, but stuff like this reminds me to rely less on tech and get more involved with the actual world around me.

[dinoanastasopoulos]

This technology is truly amazing. I am a little bit worried about the future of humanity if this becomes mainstream, because some people will become fully absorbed onto it. At the same time though, we still have the choice to take our headset off and go spend some time in a park, or at a real concert, and at the end of the day it will be up to us as individuals to not allow this to replace the things we have, but rather just make some of them better - because personally I would love to attend many different events that I just don't have access to in South Africa.
