The “metaverse” certainly has a ton of hype around it right now, but I think it’s actually a pretty good term to describe what will happen when a bunch of interesting technologies start to come together.

May I know what’s the third bgm used name? Thanks. (The one used when you talk about Pokémon Go)
@@voxelltech it’s all from Artlist or Epidemic Sound. I’m not sure of the exact name though.
@@voxelltech wow I’m living in the iPhone area that’s crazy
Human progress is amazing. I now get to be a grumpy old man, thinking this is a terrible idea as early as age 24.
Understand comment ^ 😂
21 for me lmao
Something ain’t right
16 for me and seeing how facebook polarized societies and how it spreads misinformation without any efforts from facebook itself against it, the perspective of that becoming even more "realistic" scares me
13 for me
Lol right?! I've never felt so old as when I'm talking about my concerns with this Metaverse.
I can’t do it lol I can’t imagine Facebook in a vr state and being as addictive as it is now, that’s scary to me because social media is already dissociative enough 😵💫
Agreed, this may be my time to get off the platform all together
Sorry but there is really no way of stopping social media it’s became a part of society and will be like necessary like water and food. I mean it already kinda is. The poor future generation I just hope them luck that it all goes well
@@aspart2842 I feel I..to some of the sheep it’s necessary but I don’t plan on stopping for others just myself … I tend to go on hiatus and stop using it when I feel I get depressed or out of touch, but if it becomes a virtual reality thing, I won’t be a apart of it
@@KristoferBurns yeah same I really never use social media like ever it’s such trash but at the same time I see how it’s benefits are massive…. Too company’s so it’s never going away
I think they have been monitoring us for years like Guinea pigs and thus making them gods that dictate our world or planet( meta verse)
The more I hear about the "metaverse" the more I want to be an Amish
The more I want to invest in projects at a ground level. Front run the masses. 😎
Right! I tried watching Mark’s video on it (and that’s how I found this video) and honestly, truly, it’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of.
In fact, it makes my stomach curdle. What’s the point of real life, with this?
Feels like the first baby step to Wall-E, where we just exist in suspended animation irl, only really living in the metaverse.
It’s like if all the humans in the Matrix voluntarily climbed into their goo-tubes.
It’s like Dwight Schrute’s goofy Second Life obsession.
*** Fwiw I’m very pro-progress: technology, medicine, society, the arts; progress is good. The Metaverse looks like a weird ass offshoot into an anemic parallel universe i’d rather avoid. Why not just funnel all the efforts being poured into the Multiverse into, instead, working together to make the actual world as mind blowingly stunning and full of adventure as possible?
Good luck with that
@@elokabenson8921 if you only knew how much my initial lump investment in MATIC when it was only .10 this past Feb has yielded me, you wouldn’t be wishing me good luck, bro.
I feel when things do start becoming more connected in that way inevitably, there will be communities who end up deciding to go live somewhere with none of that kinda tech. Not getting rid of tech completely, but just being very minimalist with it.
I won't. Sounds boring AF. I wanna see the future. Yeah there are going to be bumps along the way but I think they will be smoothed out as time goes on, and with the right awareness and action in the right places.
Edward Snowden literally told us why we can't trust tech like this
!!!!
explain
Edward Snowden is literally a dude. Like any dude, no matter how smart, he could be cracked like a pot.
You talk about him like his name is Edward Christ.
@@warfirpiece nah you're just projecting. OP didn't claim Snowden was telling the truth or even that he is to be listened to. idk why you're assuming OP thinks Snowden is more than "a dude", but I'm guessing it has to do with your personal opinion of Snowden.
This whole system is designed for 3 major reasons:
1) To steal intellectual property from its users. People using this platform will give up every single thought of their own. Big data will sell it to industries who may benefit from it.
2) Resource distribution. The more time people spend in virtual reality. The less time they spend consuming resources. Thus, leaving resources to be controlled by a smaller group of consumers and reducing inflation.
3) Security surveillance. By having people's behavior surveilled through the "metaverse" agencies can more easily purchase specific behavior patterns of potential "security threats".
The metaverse will use WIFI to transmit, (literally) every breath you take, via technology similar to radar.
The "metaverse" is in an extremely early phase of development, and will require a lot more addiction and coercion (public "safety") to get everybody to live in their jail cells (In psychology, they call it "Crate Training.)
Thus the expression: "You will own nothing and be happy."
Good analysis.
I didn't realize I was so popular and that the world revolved around me so much.... I think this is too slippery slope. People are generally aware of that kind of data collection so if it really becomes this thing that dehumanizes us and makes people feel like they live in a jail cell, then people will drop Meta like a rock like they quit social media now.
The reality is you as an intelligent consumer have to be aware of these things, educate others, and shut down and not support things that go too far. Chances are if they go too far people will take note as they are now.
I like the idea of having a customizable digital space made from things that aren't really there. you shouldn't be so pessimistic about these things. And it isn't a jail cell anymore than the jail cell that already exists if you want to think of it that way. It will just change forms - from your viewpoint. And VR sounds better than chopping down trees and polluting the environment to make crap you often don't need either way.
@@evo2542 Good points taken:
That is where coercion comes in the form of "public safety".
Big data already sells factors concerning resource consumption and human reproduction. This information is dynamically used to measure real time social behavior in cycles of coercion and addiction.
When online users become aware of the addictive patterns that state-run businesses push, the algorithms send notifications to governments and special interest groups , at which point they create a catalyst from an array of "public safety" issues (the Catalyst Array for omnipresent guilt of being alive) to push people back into their homes, isolate social interactions and reintroduce addictive meta simulation. Each time this occurs the special interest groups expect a greater addictive dependancy response towards social interaction and reduction of resource consumption, via virtual reality.
The pattern will repeat itself until nonessentials live in their domiciles as prisons and accept it as normal living standards. All socializing will be monitored through surveillance technologies.
To stop this from happening, lower income and non essentials must stop reproducing and enjoy their life within the current population. People would still be able to live a meaningful and fulfilling life, just not with kids. It is a sacrifice future generations must make in order to avoid a virtual prison.
I am not trying to be pessimistic; I am trying to be quite the opposite. I think that all things considered, too many people are on this planet and the special interest groups want their resources.
Too many people are encroaching on their power. This would normally lead to civil unrest and world wars. But I think virtual reality might be a good way to minimize worse-case scenerios.
But if we want to avoid virtual prisons all together, stop making babies. I consider myself a non essential and have already sterilized myself. I still enjoy life and balance reality with virtual reality.
@@evo2542 at some point though you would have to be intelligent like you said and if you see something you’re supposed to educate anyone who isn’t aware of such a possibility. considering how crazy life can get every single minute with the stories getting around in these days it becomes a real possibility. Therefore like you said yourself educate people is a good start. Also who is quitting social media? You are out of touch with this reality I clearly see, data easily shows the skyrocket potential the social media age has for the future. The numbers are growing not plummeting. It’s pretty dangerous to catch on late to things, people forget there’s always a starting point for the dawn of a new era.
That’s exactly it
You sir are officially one of my top 10 favorites now. Reason being is because you cover all the angles of the conversation and have a lot of research invested into your channel! Great work good sir!
Appreciate that! These stories are always interesting and rarely one-sides. The future is so fun to think about because no one can be sure about how things will play out!
@@JohnCooganPlus I've been looking into the unreal engine accessible content for implementing these things ,and might I say that we are on the brink of a new era.
Okay, I came in thinking I was going to put you on 2x speed and get the highlights. I stayed, played you on normal speed and was hooked. John Coogan, this took a lot of work I'm sure! Thank you. I've subscribed and am here to support.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weirrrd, SAMEEEEE
When I was younger..the Matrix was just a metaphor for our reality..now days..it’s literally going to be the matrix. The crazy thing is that he’s telling everyone exactly what it is and yet people can’t wait to get in 🤦🏽♂️
shut the fuck up with the stupid bullshit you conspiracy freaks love to spew, can’t even prove your arguments with real sources other than religious or spiritual beliefs. Idiots.
You are the most underrated content creator i've ever seen !!
That makes me so happy to hear.
Hands down!!
Definitely, I’m in love with each video
I agree that music and his enthusiasm had me really getting excited and wanting to give my money to hurry this along. Just think metaverse mixed with nurolink mixed with that euphoria you get from all the best drugs you’d have the world addicted.
I totally agree. I really dont don't understand how the algorithm is failing you man. You should be on the 100. Thouthen by now. Keep pushing! You will get there!
VR is one of those things like social media itself: it sounds interesting and positive in its presentation....in reality it is extremely fraught with SO many social pitfalls when humans interact with it at large scales.
Social media has become a cancer on society, more and more people I know are distancing themselves from it because we're increasingly aware that we are biologically incompatible with it.
Do people seriously think ubiquitous AR/VR will be any different if not MUCH worse?
I can support VR development as a technology, not as a broad social engineering platform.
This was so informative! Most other content on TH-cam feels like chasing hype but these videos actually goes in depth.
Exactly what I’m going for! Thanks!
The metaverse doesn’t actually sound too complicated in concept. It’s just the internet in a VR/AR environment. They’ll push devices with the capability, and create new ones so people will interact with the internet like that.
MMORPG in vr basically you mean
Its going to take over the world. Billionaires will be made from apps and ill be one of them. The hardware and cost will shrink as the programming and value increases.
Yeah, under the wing of Facebook. How do people not understand the problem with this? Facebook is quite literally putting their foot in the door of the future. I’m certain a “metaverse” will become a reality, and Facebook has already claimed control of it
@@minghuawang7740 there is a difference between MMORPG and the internet. the metaverse is the internet in VR form, not just an MMORPG.
@@MnemonicHeadTrip everyone wants the metaverse. no one wants a controlling entity like Facebook. it needs to be an open-source project.
Incredible video - really liked how you were able to capture the concept of the Metaverse and how you connected it to other moments in the past! Hope you make more videos expanding on this :)
Definitely going to make more videos about the Metaverse. There is so much good content out there. Matthew Ball has done a really good job laying everything out.
But he did completely ignore the point that many, if not most people do not want to strap a box to their face.
The Metaverse isn't going to have that "iPhone moment" until someone makes VR/AR glasses that are near the size and weight of regular sunglasses.
Not to mention that current VR/AR hardware is till rather expensive and held up in shipping delays that are likely to go on for years. The upgrades necessary are going to be painfully slow.
And what about growing distrust of big tech? many like this "metaverse" concept", but NOT through Facebook. Others feel similarly about Google, Apple and Amazon. There is a reckoning brewing there that hasn't reared it's ugly head yet.
I predict a great war between the tech providers and their users by the end of this century.
I am not sceptical about metaverse, it's great, but imo his concept of connecting light bulb invention and apple phone is irrelevant at all.
You can compare light bulb invention with how pre historic human find a way to light a fire, but it's obviously different from apple phone, since with or without apple launching his product, smart phone will exist, but if pre historic human never learn about how to light a fire, maybe until now we human are +- the same with other animal.
@@peterbelanger4094 yeah what peter said! Could not have said it better! But also screw zuckerberg and big tech i rather be a homesteader and live in the real world surrounded by the beauty of nature!
This will be decades away. Compute power, internet upgrades, VR improvements and most importantly compelling content. It took 5 years to make world of warcraft on private servers imagine a full interactive metaverse. 20 years at the very least. It took Australia 20 years just to get faster internet and we still don't have it.
@Victor Bastos I won't. Talk for yourself, I'm gonna be around 50 years old
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
technology grows exponentially
That’s why humanity has this thing called an Elon or something like that.. starlink :)
Starlink…Neuralink 🤭🤫
Wow you’re a pro I can’t believe you aren’t TH-cam famous yet! Your vocabulary and execution are on point I really enjoy this we’re in the middle of a internet revolution right now and what better way to learn about it than to watch your videos kudos man
Thanks a lot! It’s an amazing time to be alive.
@@JohnCooganPlus Agreed 🤣
I'm honestly just commenting in hopes to help the algorithm find you. Amazing stuff. :)
I’ve been involved with and immersed in the vision of the Metaverse for about 15 years now. This wave has been a longtime coming. In all that expanse of time and exploration, this video is by far the best and most accurate description of the Metaverse I’ve ever seen. Outstanding work. Thank you! Subscribed.
why would you work against your own species
The Metaverse may be the worst invention of all time.
It's just yet another attempt at popularizing VR that will be doomed to failure.
People just do not want to strap a box to their face. Maybe you enjoy it, but most are not interested.
VR based internet or "the metaverse" as we are calling it now, will not have widespread adoption until the goggles are the size and weight or regular sunglasses, and the hardware to support them is much, much more inexpensive and available.
Also, on top of that we are having serious shortages computer hardware. It's a lot more difficult for people to upgrade their systems for VR. I don't know why Facebook thinks everyone is going to run out and get an Occulus and top shelf video card, when demand has cranked up the prices and it takes 6 months to get it shipped.
Maybe in another 10-20 years. But not now.
It's just a marketing stunt to take attention off the bad press Facebook has been getting.
@@peterbelanger4094 I told a co-worker yesterday you need around $4,000 to get a good VR set up if you're starting with nothing. The average working person isn't going to spend that sort of money on VR when it can go to rent, groceries, or transportation.
it is going to fail
humanity doesnt need this we need freedom
As a long time VR user this seems to me like the end of Zuckerberg. Investing billions into a VR version of Second Life, thinking businesses will openly send their private info threw the "Metaverse" and thinking people can just sit in bed with goggles on and live the rest of their lives as a cartoon character is hysterical. "Oh hey" I gotta show you this artwork on this wall we just saw. Let me take my magical vr heatset with built in cell service and a crystal clear pass threw and suck the 3d model of a flat image out of a wall and send it to you. Welp time for work! Guess I'll go sit in my real desk and log into my fake desk so I can eat some fake donuts and wave to the fake secretary walking by.
you literally just described gaming. Yet it's working out great for them.
Yes this is the dumbest shit
@@asfandyar424he’s trying to go way beyond the gaming population and get everyone in those vomit-inducing goggles. Google glass 2.0
I love how you researched history to find what's happening and how it will repeat itself. Love it. Makes total sense thanks
ikr?
Er Sahil look up Second Life. Everything John has said already happened 20 YEARS AGO!!! I have been told that SL was ready for VR in 2006 (VR (As we know it now) wasn't ready yet I was told) Why does big Tech want to give Second Life the Scarlet letter and Big Tech seems to not want to ask people to forget, but wants to order (Force people) the citizens to FORGET SECOND LIFE EVER EXISTED!!! Good grief!!!
the problem is when zuck said you're inside rather than looking at it. Er, wearing a screen on your head doesn't make you inside it. You're still looking at a screen that is bulky and heavy on your head. Also I heard lots of claims, but I don't see how they could pull it off with today's tech. Maybe in a hundred years, but processors, lag, battery life is a big issue that make this not viable. Its like an attempt to create an iphone using 1980s battery tech
agree
Never used a headset, huh?
@@breeknow definitely havent try HL-Alyx
@@classefrancofolie5368 I mean, he couldn’t have ever used a headset, right? No one who’s ever used one would have that opinion.
you do know that there were tocuh sensitive screens in 1980? right

@Syed Suhail I like the word "metacurse" 😆
Metaverse was just announced, looking forward to seeing a vid from you on it!! :)
Still gonna take at least 8 - 10 years before we'll see it truly shaped and seeing it in it's finishing touches but, when it does come, it's gonna change lives forever. Mine included.
@@tomasskala4405 8 years is too exaggerated considering they literally said they expect Metaverse to amass a billion users by 2025, meaning it'll def already be in use by millions of people a year or two before 2025.
@@MrMatrix277 Ayo Meta out here saying that they'll go operational in 4 years?... Tbh with you mate, I would LOVE that, but for some reason I just don't see something of THIS scale becoming reality even if 20k people were working on it non stop every day. but then again, we are progressing technology like madmen out here, so I guess that all we can do is hope O____O
@@tomasskala4405 Absolutely!! Btw correcting myself: they said they're expecting the Metaverse to amass a total of a billion users 'within the next decade' not by 2025, but that's still extremely promising.
Sounds like it'll be fairly affordable and globally accessible, a billion users in ten years definitely means they'll have a good base by 2025 with a least some 200 million users or something. We'll see!
Metaverse from roblox
Great video, John! This was really well put together. I watched the full video in one sitting without ever feeling the urge to skip over anything.
Love to hear that. I’m really working on pacing these days. Definitely want to deliver information at the right speed so things don’t get boring.
Same, this is peak TH-cam content
App development brought me here. I work in IT for Allstate and am currently building my own app that I believe will be one of the next Light Bulb moments for Billions of consumers. And the idea is so simple that it baffles me no one has implemented it yet. Especially during this pandemic. Wish me luck. I also subscribed. You were very informed and made it make more sense to await this new Meta.
Good luck, hope it succeeds!
Bruh your video editing skills are off the rails 👏👏👏 well done I can’t wait to watch your channel grow now that I found ya!
You’ve explained everything so nicely. I’m definitely subscribing. Been struggling to find content that explained the meta verse so simply. Thanks
It's a vision of hell. I watched a quarter of Zuker's presentation and had to switch off. It is sooo creepy.
This video is unbelievably well shot, edited and explains this concept amazingly
Thanks so much! That’s really encouraging to hear.
Thanks John, this was a really great/informative video explaining the concept. Will be interesting to see what role blockchain will play in the meta-verse once it becomes a reality.
For sure, blockchain is it’s own hyped term. There are some amazing projects and some completely fraudulent projects. Very eager to see where things go there.
@@JohnCooganPlus definitely! Looking forward the next one
I liked the part where you explained the challenges that still need to be overcome. That was interesting.
They could have spent that annual $5B on solving problems in the real-o-verse.
As a developer who has tried vr development, I have to point out that the biggest problem in vr is not technical limitation, but 3D Motion Sickness, which is more like a medical issue.
If human body can't even keep using the device for several hours, how is vr supposed to be the next smart phone?
But well, MR is better in terms of motion sickness.
You're only talking about the most ideal development with the most ideal outcome, which will most likely not happen. These are your points un-hyped:
1. Local- and server-progress is saved. Like minecraft.
2. Most is realtime, not recorded. Like minecraft.
3. Starts by talking about augmented reality, but ends up talking about virtual simulations and enviroments instead.
4. People can play at the same time. Like minecraft (Only a lot more)
5. You can sell stuff. Like on ebay
6. Applications will either be programmed with a shared fundamental structure so they may interchange content (Which sounds incredibly unecessarily troublesome). Or, more applications may collab for shared content.
7. Devoted users can create custom digital assets. Like skins
He blows it up a lot bigger than it is by comparing it to big inventions from the past (A common technique). But this can be done with anything and everything. You can draw similarities between tesla and cornflakes, to make cornflakes sound like you just invented flying cars. It's evident his job in this video is to sell us this product, especially by the way he only speaks about ideal outcomes with not a single critique, together with the cinematic background music.
The music and the editing adds much more than the narration IMO, it's the kind of hype you typically see in apple or tesla marketing videos. It would be nice if all that talent went into making some actual crazy original fiction than pumping some shit companies' stocks.
Also thank you for the talking points and descriptions.
If the metaverse becomes successful, it’ll change life as we know it. Similar, in a way, to Ready Player One. It wouldn’t be just about gaming, but life (to an extent) itself.
Here before this hits a million views. Thank you for this information. It is exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time.
So insightful. I am looking forward to you explaining all this in context of Facebook's announcement of it's new name Meta and it's functionalities associated with that.
Awesome video! Your script especially is well-written and engaging. Just curious, how long does researching for the video + writing the script usually take?
I research passively, listening to audiobooks and podcasts on 2x speed while doing random stuff, so it’s not an exact amount of time. I write about 10 words per minute so a script like this takes ~4 hours.
Excellent coverage, and quite timely with Facebook recent announcement haha
Your video editing skills are top notch. Highly underrated with only 10K subs. You deserve more followers!
The metaverse would've been so much better if it was built by the community slowly instead of quickly being built by a single profit company with ulterior motives
So...ready player one and the Oasis are about to become reality!? NICE!!!
Ikr
Well see broda... Well see...
I think using a ‘game’ as a way to describe the Metaverse is a misconception. That is too centralized of a concept. The Metaverse is simply the visualization of our digital universe. Anything that is digital today exists in the metaverse and we’ll visualize those things in new ways in the future - be it on screen in real life, through a screen in real life (AR) or All screen with real life blocked out/obscured (VR).
That describes it perfectly. Definitely more than a game.
excellent script, production and editing! it’s such an interesting and frightening topic, i hope you can make more videos discussing this topic!
Definitely planning on making more metaverse content. It's a fascinating area.
Like always, an incredible well produced video, you should have way above 100.000 subs
Love hearing that! We’ll get there eventually. The growth has been really good so far!
So much of communication and interaction is non-verbal and how could VR ever replicate simple really meaningful gestures like giving your child a hug.
Welp, unless they figure out a way to keep me from feeling like vomiting when I stay in VR for more than 45 minutes, I'm out.
When VR gets good enough, it will literally be possible to link 100s of 1000s of people together and re-enact things like the battle of Gettysburg, or the battle of Midway.
OMG, you're right. I vote this best comment.
I think this will be the make it or break it point for a lot of big tech companies, let's hope only the most honest survive.
For sure, definitely going to be a big transformation.
Only the richest corporations will survive not the most honest.
Dude explained this better then facebook could. I Did not even look away for 1 sec. Great video. Surprised to see only 9k. Definitely subscribing
This video is so well maded man, I love it. The Metaverse it's really happening very fast.
I can't even imagine of what people will create inside the "3D Immersive Internet".
It sounds exciting yes but the feelings comes from a section in ourselves not with good interests at the core. This is not our hearts giving us this sensation.
@@ThePrinceofallsayain I understand but my feelings are real, even on a virtual place.

And you’re fine with Facebook spearheading it and claiming it as theirs? How can you be so blind. I for one will not buy into it and participate until it’s decentralized
@@MnemonicHeadTrip I don't trust Facebook. I'm waiting for a decentralized Metaverse. Not from Facebook, I don't care about their Meta you know, I forgot to say that. Sorry.

It's perfect for brainwashing our kids. And alot of parents will buy it to them. "Merry christmas Tommy, sit down and be a true empty zombie my son. It's cool!"
💯💯😂
That’s not a tv or a game station???
They said the and about... video games.. before that television... before that newspapers.. yes newpapers. And honestly do you want to interact with people more? I kinda already want to avoid you.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Oh my God Lol
@@laartwork well metaverse is different compared to video games or television, both tv and vd can be used for brainwashing , but metaverse is for large scale control of minds and information
Thank you Mr. Coogan, for creating exciting futuristic content.
Quality content, as always. Keep it up, John!
Hey thanks! Hope you’re doing well!
This dude omg I thought I'm watching a channel with over 1 million subscribers keep them coming mate I just subbed
Hahaha that’s amazing feedback. Glad to hear you like the video. Got a bunch more coming, thanks for the sub!
What an awesome video! I love the pacing!
You are really talking about this like a AMAZINGLY GREAT thing for people.. I don't like anything being presented with just good side.. Addiction, desocialization>mental health, physical health>working from home and gaming.. And the most important fact is that _Metaverse_ is owned by a company that has ALL of your data, also even worse of data is that they know you in soul, think about what all you told someone through texts, if you sent someone nudes, they have it all stored.. If you doubt so, think about how could police restore deleted messages if they weren't stored anywhere?
How the hell do you not mention Nikola Tesla in your "electrification" example, you said Edison built the first power plant, then 40 years later electricity was everywhere, if not for Tesla and his AC power that we all use still to this day, there would have been a power plant every block because of Edison's garbage efficiency. He claimed Tesla's AC was so dangerous, that he killed animals on street corners using AC in a dangerous manner. Meanwhile, his first electrical patent was... a DC Electric Chair!! So God damned sad to see how this lack of knowledge and the suppression of Nikola Tesla's genius has continued. I stopped watching after that garbage.
Very insightful video done about the Metaverse. Hopefully Mark doesn't just release an updated VR Chat with the amount of time and money he's invested
Can we just go outside and connect like normal humans …we don’t need this
Yes we can! You have free will, you don't have to do it :)
I haven't been to a mall in years, but I do miss that experience of just random window shopping. So imagine being able to do that virtually - right now we can "min/max" shopping by searching for best deals (product quality vs cost), cross-referenced with reviews (where some reviews are sincere, some reviews are paid for, and some are just fake bot-spam). But with more casual shopping where you're not looking for anything in particular, or maybe looking for a gift -- being able to browse wares, and that game of advertising trying to convince you they're the best deal (or even if they aren't the best deal, their brand has some sort of sentimental value). But old mall shopping was more than that - not just shopping for an item, but also just meeting people who may be shopping for similar things, and getting ideas of kinds of products out there. You could virtually have that experience again with an Avatar in a virtual mall - you get ideas of things maybe you hadn't considered, plus in the virtual side you could customize things (I need a bed like this, but a little taller; can I get product X in this color instead?) etc, and then it can be made to order for you -- and that's more efficient than stores warehousing inventory and guessing what people need. I wonder if companies will be more open about specs of their products - dimensions and STL or 3D model files of parts. That's key to people making mods or accessories, or replacement to broken parts -- where you can just 3D print a replacement (or order one from a print shop) -- like imaging just 3D printing a whole remote control or headphones, with very little assembly needed. But also just printing cable brackets or small things. But we copyright songs and media - what of the creative talent for making industrial shapes of things?
All I'm hearing is "data farm" :D And I love how Facebook launching this just when they are swamped with contraversy and legal trouble. No doubt metaverse is real thing to a point, but it seems mostly like a tactic to divert attention and dissociate Facebook from baggage that comes with that name, little else.
I mean this video kind of shows its working.
My thoughts also, trying to dissociate from their legal mess in Facebook.
the metaverse - "the synthesis of dozens of technological trends"
"The Metaverse was such a nice place until those furries showed up"
If you build it... they will come...
imagine everyone is in the metaverse, their life depends on it, because they have jobs there etc. and then Mark just pulls the plug.
Decentralization is the future. Bitcoin is just the beginning.
You called it man!
Perfect timing on this video!
I'm a former college prof who taught a class on tech and industrialization and you've taught me things here I didn't know.
I want to know why they’re acting like AI won’t be heavily involved. Idk something about AI and realistic avatars sounds like they’re gonna let people talk to they’re “loved ones” after they pass. They’ll just let the ai mimic these people and then charge them
lay off those tv shows , this meta shit will not happen anytime soon so chill.
Remember, SecondLife, a virtual space where business can build virtual shops and customers can visit/browse and purchase presented items. Even developers can use their creativity to build their own shops. How many do you remember or know about it now after that much hype and even after IBM created/opened a VR shop. I am not sure if the founding developer LindenLabs still owns it or making any money. As you mentioned, the market is not evolved to catch up the VR yet I think. FB may be too hasty, if I am not wrong.
Facebook wants to be God, but in the end, they will only be one large part of a decentralized digital universe, as is our reality now online.
This is the first time I'm watching your content and I'm loving it. You simplify the content and make it easily comprehendible. Good work man...keep it up
You have a subscriber here 👍
Yeah, this was very well put together. I’m impressed. Subscribed!
I just heard about Metaverse last week . Everything went up like a week before , but I think this is huge ! I started to buy stocks regarding this .
MTTR , MANA-USD coin .
Is it real money you have invested in or crypto currency? I mean, is it cold, hard dollars?
10:30 from a technical standpoint, thats not how it works you dont stream the image off a server, you just get info of where everything is. The biggest reason why large scale games like minecraft but with high quality graphics don't exist is simply because it is not profitable.
Your video is so much well written. Thanks.
It's interesting that they announced this during all those accusation and scandals around Instagram and Facebook
This Video is gonna blow up now since FB has literally renamed it's name to META😂
I’m a “gamer” and play mostly in virtual worlds. I have for 14 years now and I’m 62. When I saw Mark Zuckerberg use the term “MetaVerse” in his post, I immediately thought of virtual worlds. I am however too poor to get into all the technology of “virtual reality” where you have to get the headgear, and have a high end gaming computer for it(with high end graphics). I play Second Life and OpenSim, and the creators of Second Life(Linden Labs) created a virtual reality version of their regular virtual world, a few years ago called “Sansar”. BUT, it failed because not everyone can afford the hardware PERIOD. I don’t see Mark Zuckerberg’s “MetaVerse” becoming popular until even the poorest of people have high end gaming computers.
Pure evil coming down the line.
Dude I must say you sure know how to keep people on edge and interested in the information and ideas you have to share. This is my third video in the row and I can’t help myself but watch the next suggested video. Not a bad thing lol. Good job keep it up and I will suggest keep your info and ideas factual and only with the intent of sharing info and I think you’ll do just fine.
Amazing video. Truly backs up the belief that First movers advantage is a false belief. Facebook isn't the one who invented VR and didn't have to invent everything. Also, they are taking advantage of the increasing VR player base rather than trying to create a player base. I really like this move. Also, as a Minecraft player, I can say my greatest pet peeve is when worlds reset. If the metaverse never resets and has the ability for players to create games/all games are within the metaverse. I seriously cannot imagine the potential.
you have done a brilliant job at collating and explaining metaverse for a layman. Thank you for this enjoyable content
Glad you enjoyed it!
Curious about the point at the end about Facebook vs Crypto in creation of the metaverse. Couldn't facebook plausibly embrace crypto for payments in their "metaverse"? Curious if a company of cypto enthusiasts would need to form to build a metaverse or if there is some other link I am missing.
Really great video :)
Facebook is definitely working on integrating crypto. They tried with Libra, but it didn’t take off. They will continue to try, but it’s unclear if people will get on-board broadly.
There are already several major crypto projects focused on metaverses and everyone is thinking about it long term.
We might end up with an iPhone vs Android situation, where Facebook creates a very polished Metaverse that is a closed walled garden (like the iPhone) and crypto creates an open Metaverse (like Android).
I’m going to go deeper on the crypto side of the Metaverse in a future video.
@@JohnCooganPlus Facebook can never be a player in crypto, because we have the blockchain, and the wealthy won't connect there wallet to a 'Facebook' account or any other account. It's about 'anonymous' payments, and Facebook is worser then a State
@@xand2870 fr why u even using crypto at that point
Fuck crypto.
This is WIIIILLD. Well made content. I can tell effort went into this! Subbed
Wow! Imagine that you have to grind irl to live well and to have fun u also need to grind in virtual world!
As a guy from 3rd world, i say screw fully online life.
I was just telling my friend the same!
I feel you dude. I don’t even have 4G internet yet and there’s the metaverse
alifio noerifanza smartest man yet.
DUDE! Your videos are absolutely STUFFED with awesome tidbits of knowledge that I probably wouldn't have ever found anywhere else in my day to day, and yet somehow they seem like tidbits that I really should have known or thought about. Thanks for putting so much effort into these vids. Keep it up.
As cool as this is
There will be less human connection
I like John Xina
as there should be
This was an instant sub, quality content. I believe the metaverse will be the next step of technology but it will have to be consumer friendly for it to take off. VR sets are quite expensive and need powerful computers to render, and that sort of product will be a niche in the market. I know that in the last 30 years tech advances were unthinkable and that gives me hope but with real crysis like the microchip shortage we recently suffered and the rising prices of rare metals it will be a challenge for sure. Hey, did i already mentioned your content is amazing?
You got me thinking about how much I want a Mythic Quest season 3 dealing with the Metaverse lol
Love your cinematic lighting!
"the ability to own things in the metaverse" - Please don't make me laugh..
“You will own nothing and be happy” - world economic forum on ‘The Great Reset’
The metaverse be like:
-oh do you want to use this teleport to your friend's house? Well pay.
-Oh are you working on your vr pc? Well are you typing? How much do it takes you to make this task? By the way for your safety we will record your conversations...
-Oh do you want use the teleport to your friend's virtual house? Well pay.
-oh are you saying something we don't like?
Well Explained Documentary.👍
Thanks!
Check out the Decentralised AR metaverse
The best video ever explaining what metaverse ACTUALLY is. Thanks a lot John :)
the facebook metaverse is something that will more or less organically form out of the internet which make it persistant, more persitant than 2b2f companies
also i'd say sandbox ganes like minecraft are closer to the "metaverse" than whatever fb tries to create but we'll see because no one knows yet
After metaverse will definitely come full dive. Sad tho, bc i dont see any concrete way to stop ppl using these devices from gradually losing or never even learning real world social skills and communication.
Good, video, finally something that fully explains it, just as I imagined, essentially Ready Player One, a Persistent VR world with huge number of users and potential to do all sorts of activities from gaming to business with VR AR and crypto being at the centre of it's technology and economy but most importantly a potential for creative people to feed and monetize on their content and all others play to earn. Suddenly you start to see how Facebook AR, Starlink, Oculus and crypto can be all connected together
Yes YEZ
YESS I WANT REQDY PLAYER ONE TO BE REAL I WILL SPENDNYH4 MONEY FOR IT !!! :O
Maybe not ON facebook tho. But like as its own world /server?? Server makes more sense then social media.... with multiple other servers/rooms to go to and such
As an engineer, I really find it difficult to not be disillusioned by all the bad things that could be done with all this new tech, especially that which involves the brain and psyche. Makes it difficult to consider positions at companies like Meta (the recruiters are brutally persistent in XR) when you don’t want to enable what could only be described as evil in hindsight. It’s a real ethical dilemma (for those who even give a damn about ethics).
There are no shortcuts to *getting rich* ,but there are *smart ways* to go about it. I realized early in life the importance of investing for financial independence and have invested with great returns working with *a professional.*
I've always been fascinated with investing and as such would appreciate some help on how to go about it without incurring losses.Can you share the investments you have made and your experiences with them?
Thanks
@@kristenjosephinebalsamo7630 I engage in profitable investments such as:- real estate, NFTs, crypto and stocks and through proper advice and management by a licensed financial adviser (Hamilton Phoebe Zoe), I have achieved good returns on investment. I will recommend that you work with a professional for a better investment experience as well as a good return on investments.
@@dianaroberti872 I appreciate this information, how can I get in touch with your financial advisor as I am really interested and would want to start investing
@@kristenjosephinebalsamo7630 As to get more details about my financial professional (Hamilton Phoebe Zoe);do an internet research with the full names above to easily approach her and as well write her.
Working with a financial professional is best compared to none. They have loads of information which helps a lot in creating wealth, I know Hamilton Phoebe Zoe and I'm happy they mentioned her here.
Working with her made me understand the fact that you can't compare growing your investments yourself to that of a financial professional
Fantastic content and production value. How the hell do you have so few subs? I’m betting that changes rapidly.
WELCOME TO THE NEW GENERATION
WE ARE ALL SCREWED!! Js.
Decentraland will be the next SWORD ART ONLINE!!!!!!
