At first I thought the idea is ridiculous and pointless. With a bit of thought, though, I think real-world architects building for the Metaverse is perfectly fine, and even a great idea. Like you said, they get to try out designs that could never work in reality without some significant leaps in technology, if at all.
On the idea of the Metaverse as a whole (advertising included) how many millions of people play immersive computer games and meet up in them with their friends? Advertising has been included in games for as long as I've been playing them (the WipEout franchise comes to mind, advertising Kappa and other sponsors). How many millions of people watch eSport tournaments? That's not all that different to watching virtual Man City play a virtual game. I spend real money on virtual assets in games every so often, so if a big architect practice like ZHA was to design a bespoke building that was ground-breaking, I can see people wanting the prestige of owning that.
The one thing I have against the Metaverse, is if things that happen within it start to affect peoples' lives in the real world.
I can understand the translatable value of an Architect's real world skills into the Metaverse. What I can't understand is why people are assuming that the value of a limited resource like prime real estate, will translate over to the value of virtual property. It's the internet....The real estate is unlimited. However, I guess what you're paying for is actually the point of congregation, and assuming that Facebook is going to have the best virtual city. Idk why though.
My issue is that yes you have unlimited freedom in building in the metaverse but it still has no application to the real world if you’re ignoring real world laws. What’s the point then other then to make quick money off virtual reality
@@supercadet111 The same way video games have done it. If it's comfortable to be or explore in, then it will grow in value. Unlimited real estate is a bit of a meme term too. There will always be server size limits, performance optimizations, co-op benefits and more. Bad levels don't get traction. Bad metaverse estates won't either.
The biggest dislike I have over it is that this isn't new. What's new is that it's now big-tech corporate-based and costs millions. Essentially ALL other AR and VR worlds have existed for decades, and the new corporatism and money all around it is just... Gross. Everyone calls it a "new world" and "new idea", but it's not at all new -- the only new part is the domination of corporations in it. Heck, even Minecraft is a "metaverse" and everything in this video could be done in there too... minus the millions of dollars spent on a virtual world with literally infinite space and teleportation capability.
Metaverse TLDR: clueless corporations attempting to turn 3D spaces into content and service delivery platforms. It was dumb in the 90's, and it is dumb now.
The thing that is really, REALLY important to understand about Metaverse, is that is discards all of the lessons that developers of virtual worlds have learned over the past few decades.
Absolutely nothing about it is new, and those of us who've been around virtual spaces are shaking our heads as past mistakes are repeated with bigger budgets and more fanciful PR animations. Like we're used to from techbros, they don't actually understand virtual worlds as much as they like to pretend, because they don't understand what people like them for, and equally what they *don't* like them for.
People like virtual worlds when they are a mix of socializing and expressing your creative side. What this means is that it attracts a crowd of people who enjoy making their own things and showing them off. It attracts people who, for some reason or another, lack functional community spaces in the real world. And it attracts people who want to engage in virtual relationships to break the boundaries of distance.
What virtual worlds don't do well AT ALL is everything else that these clueless techbros try to pile on top of it. And the reason for that is pretty damn simple: every other usecase has too many hoops to jump through just to get an experience that is already solved by far simpler products, and they lack the social dimension that make virtual worlds worth participating in.
Digital museums? It's called Wikipedia.
Education? Skillshare and a plethora of others have that covered.
Documentaries and filmmaking? How many streaming services are we at yet?
Anything business related? Online shopping already has it nailed.
Critically, non of these usecases have monetization schemes or special advantages that are somehow helped or created by being in a 3D space with a virtual avatar. If anything, they just cost money and make for an inferior, frustrating user experience compared to a normal website. It's been done, and it's been a massive flop each and every time some doe-eyed executive attempted it.
Virtual worlds are social and creative outlets, not content platforms. If the 'Metaverse' sticks at all, expect it to resemble something more akin to Second Life, and for all of these "virtual urbanism design firms" to quietly go out of business in just a few years time when Facebook et al. finally get the message that there's no solid usecase and subsequently stop subsidizing the whole thing altogether.
The problem that I see with the conclusion is that all these things, architects building virtual spaces, modeling cities to analyze traffic, etc. is already possible without the notion of a "metaverse." What a supposed metaverse does, at least in relation to crypto and the blockchain, is introduce scarcity. And it raises the question for me, what benefit is there to a meta object other than a status symbol? Right now, I buy digital assets to be used in games that I play. But what use is there for me buying a house in a supposed metaverse? Status? The feeling that I own something someone else doesn't? To me, it just seems like speculation, all the way down.
1. It has value.
2. The server your house is apart might be of interest.
3. It might be a closed server, where all the employees can engage in private.
4. You can live a second life
5. Long distance relationship can disappear entirely.
6. And so on.
@@thomasnielsen5580 i PROMISE you, the metaverse wont fix long term relationships for the next 100 years. Just seeing someone in virtual reality doesnt make the relationship satisfying.
@@oranges557 You mist be kidding. It will be fixed partially in 10 years and completed in about 20-30 years.
So basically while the game environment artist were busy creating rich and immersive worlds that keep players engaged for hours, the real-world architects decided that partnering with crypto-bros for big money and cheap-lookign voxel graphics was a good idea.
Let's be honest, any building in Withcer 3 looks better than this metaverse-crap designed by "real" architects. And if they really wanted to show what's possible to create without real-world constraints then they could ask some game or film studious to collaborate 🤷♂️
Right!! I was just thinking how much better everything in the sims 4 looks lmao
The two aren’t diametrically opposed. People more and more are seeking polarity and are confused by how complicated such a notion is, but gaming graphics and power have WIDE applications.
In short, you are not wrong. This is just the beginning. The VR devices are attempting to catch up and as chips become smaller and stronger the graphics will be better. Think how the ships docked on the matrix or the ether on genlock.
exactly, virtual game worlds and simulations have LOTS of benefits
the metaverse and NFT aspects though are just a huge fucking scam
@@shayan_idk as a lawyer I’d heavily disagree. Both have applications greater than your individual use today. Like every other innovation it deserves to be explored.
@@brianholloway6205 alright then name one good application of it
I'm fine with a metaverse idea, I just feel it's being done by the wrong people. People who are only interested in making money from it. If it were done by a collection of video game studios then I'd have a bit more faith, as at least I know they know how to do this kinda thing (MMO kinda thing)
Ngl I wouldn't feel any more comfortable with Activision Blizzard doing metaverse than Facebook
Some indi game studius should do it for fun? I think you hugly underestimate the associated cost with developing such a monstrosity. If someone has to spend billions upon billions to get this even started, there is no room for fun and games.
@@bocbinsgames6745 i disagree id honestly trust the worst game studios over any social media platform right now
Facebook is abhorrent but all big game publishers/developers are horrible as well. Realistically, any company with the money to make this a reality is also the type of company that shouldn't be trusted to do it.
@@bocbinsgames6745 What about Roblox? At least they're not as TOO corporate as Facebook and Meta is.
All of this happened already, where corporations spent a lot of money to secure virtual plots of land to advertise virtual sneakers. Only back then it was called Second Life and nobody even remembers it.
Second Life is still bustling with people. So idk about your last statement being accurate. I rather see the creators of the more realistic portions second life make the metaverse than this .. Tbh
you do realize that people are still making tons of money out of SL.
@@nyx4853 did say Nike make good on their investment there?
This gives me cyberpunk vibes, where everyone's living an extremely poor, stacked in cramped cities, while going online with a VR headset to "live their life". Definitely not a fan of the whole metaverse idea.
Great video though as always!
Isn't that like what _Ready Player One/Ready Player Two_ is about? Because it kinda seems like it to me!
The moment you realise that "The Metaverse" isn't a "thing" or a "place", but rather a moment in time in future when people spend >50% of their time in a virtual reality, rather than the real world. We're not far off as it is.
I mean... people already spend hours and hours out of their days looking at screens haha. Even the boomers who complain about kids being on the internet all day play Candy Crush and watch TV for hours.
@@oliviaw.2842 this is exactly my parents lol
Mixed reality spaces will open up interesting opportunities for architecture and game design to meet. However, it will not likely be a form that emulates what we would see in the physical world. Structures in a digital world don't need to account for physics, human mobility, utilities, weathering, soundproofing, etc and would have different drivers of their design.
Also the idea that infinite digital land being sold as a finite commodity is idiotic
I could see it being sold with the idea that the closer the plot of 'land' is to the servers you want to use = less loading time and such the 'plots' that will load faster would be worth more. But ya Minecraft has shown that you have almost have too much digital 'land' lol
@@ambeegaming76 it's an interesting thought, but technically that isn't how servers work. Additionally, closer is relative to where you live, so there is no one place that would be of higher value, given more users in the area would require more servers regardless and latency would only push people away from the platform.
@Tamiasciurus i dont think that meta wants to get into virtual real estate, i could be wrong. i think there initial vision is that everyone has a homebase, its not fixed in some virtual map. doing real estate would be a terrible move on them as a company. because right now the tech is at a point where its only speculation. the real magic comes in when people can travel between different companies' virtual worlds. thats in the works. i made a video about this if you want to check it out.
NFT=No Fucking Thanks
Engineer here, they're definitely taking it seriously, I've gotten two Job offers from new Meta-studios the past month...
what type of engineering do you do? civil or computer ? i’m gonna guess computer in which case follow up is there a civil demand for meta studios? no need for physics right ?
Where i can get job in meta studio?
Would that be a real job or a meta job paid with meta money?
What were the companies doing? What did they need an engineer for, what lines of work?
Meta is hiring lots of engineers. Hardware and software. And as human beings, they should boycott Meta regardless of salary package.
Selling digital models I understand, digital land being treated like real land is ridiculous. I would put my money on this being a flop, just like the previous attempts to do the same thing.
@@mattblack6736 Nah, digital scarcity is entirely a choice made by people who want to make money. Simple as that.
@@mattblack6736 one of the primary benefits of the internet as it was conceived, and as it operates largely to this very day - is that digital scarcity does not exist.
There’s not a limited number of times a video can be viewed, a limited number of times an article can be read, or a limited number of times a game can be downloaded.
Creating that scarcity serves *only* to drive up prices and make more profit, overwhelmingly for companies that already make more than enough.
If you don’t disagree with digital scarcity, then fundamentally you are against the open internet as it has always been, and would change it in the pursuit of profit.
That to me, makes you an idiot.
@@mattblack6736 Imagine that someone creates a digital item. It is unique and is kept unique by an NFT. Someone then comes along and makes an exact replica of it except for the NFT. What was the value of the NFT? Only by enforcing digital scarity, does it have any real value.
So we have a digital world that plans to enforce digital scarcity as a huge part of its business model. Interesting and definitely hinting at bad business practices to come.
What they are trying to sell is a giant open world game full of mini games and experiences. Except that much of the content is paid for at the start and expensive, so everyone is looking to make their money back. So what we will get is a world full of stuff to buy and adverts.
The idea could be great, but not if they try to make big profits. If they can be patient and enforce quality content, make it free to use and try to make their money on VR headset sales instead of on the platform, it could be great. I am not that optimistic at this point as they are already trying to make a profit from selling digital plots of land when there is no reason for those plots to hold value except for selling an idea of what the future could be. They are preordering games.
@@piraterubberduck6056 There are games like EVE online and others with digital assets worth a lot of money due to in game reasons. The value of Metaverse things seems to be built on hype, although there will be some value in digital advertising space. The popular worlds in VR chat for example have developed organically, and not by a multi-million architecture firms, no matter how much money they throw at it. The next Notch will probably be some guy in his basement making a world in Blender that gets popular and goes viral for some random reason. AM is somewhat doing the same thing with physical objects. The nerd shall inherit the earth.
Zucc knows how to sell shit
I think it would be pretty cool if everyone just refuses to use it until Facebook agrees not to collect the data of metaverse users
You mean until Facebook collapses and is just a memory.... like MySpace.
That’s obviously not going to happen.
@@IpSyCo it's happening already. You know anyone from the younger generation that actually used Facebook? Yeah we use Instagram which is owned by Meta but that too will pass
@@JL1 Everyone from my high school class still uses FB. We graduated in 19.
@@IpSyCo Are you from America? because absolutely nobody in my past 2 colleges and highschool uses it
My biggest frustration with the metaverse is that there is so much money going around and yet the asset models for the metaverse look like a late 90s early 2000s playstation or nintendo game because of the low polygon count. Digital world spaces like Second Life have had better graphics. Unless the metaverse is trying to make this a deliberate stylized space, I don't see why this is alluring.
Yeah if I am going to put in the time to create assets that will last I feel safer creating for games like Second Life before I would consider Meta, the work is already there.
the metaverse isnt a new idea. it goes back before neal stephenson's snow crash. its going to happen, and its alluring not because of all this speculation and money being thrown around, but for what it can do to advance humans towards more innovative creations. i made a vid about this that i would love if you checked out! let me know what you think!
the whole space is filled with asset flippers who are too lazy to design high quality models & environments. until people with experience really see it as an opportunity, we're not gonna see what this concept is truly capable of
Probably bc they didn't standardize the device yet, like what the requirements to run such a heavy graphic, or they not yet put enough money to hire big budget studio, another reason is it's facebook is always suckk
@@cobaltblue2756 that’s a good point. I think you’ll like my video then (over at my channel) I go over what’s needed for the metaverse and it’s history!
Having been a part of SecondLife for 20 yrs, I see this as nothing new. Frankly I am a bit tired of it and feel like I have taken it as far as I can. There is great potential in the virtual world for expanding the imagination and for testing ideas. It is a great learning ground. At some point though people will tire of it.
SL was great - as long as there was a lot of freedom there, around 2004 or so. But nowadays (last time I was there about 2 years ago) it was just boring and dull.
you can’t tell if it gets boring if it’s not finished yet, at some point it might get so realistic that we can’t tell the difference between real and not
when its photo realistic you will see a huge difference
agreed-- which is why the metaverse is going to be really beneficial in mixed reality, not full immersive VR or flat 2d (like second life, and its predecessors, like worldschat or active worlds). i made a vid about this, you might enjoy it as a secondlife citizen!
I played AlphaWorld in the 90s even before SecondLife was even a thing. Presenting 25 year old ideas as a novelty is a thing. And in the early 90s there already had been primitive VR systems. The 1992 movie The Lawnmower Man was inspired by it.
I understand the technical prowess in making these super curved ultra-futuristic design building projects, but for me they always have the look and feel of a dystopian autocracy where everyone is super polite and smiles every time in order to cope with their internal scream they are not allowed to utter. I think it is quite fitting for what metaverse seemingly is turning out to be.
Its essentially VRchat with money, and I´m confused at what direction it could possibly go...
This is not just for gaming. You can recreate real world buildings in the metaverse. For example, you could recreate Peking University in the metaverse. Professors and students could meet in the VR classrooms and hold classes virtually. Students could go into the VR library and read e-books virtually. Students could sit in the hallways and have conversations with each other. It would be the same as attending a real university, except the tuition fees would be 100x cheaper.
why stick with "real estate" when they can rename it to "fake estate"?
Is minecraft not the embodiment of "architecture in a metaverse", just without the hype, money, and architecture firms? I'm an aspiring architect, and I've been working on designs through Minecraft for years, with other people joining and experiencing the design in real time.
basically, you'll have more tools, colours, and shapes to work with in the metaverse, personally I think its a super cool idea, but try not to get caught up in the metaverse hypetrain, its an over-ambitious solution looking for a problem, (ofc it still has applications and this is one of them)
@@euanwarkentin7204 you can have a modded server ;) or have a bunch of them.. I guess a metaverse using Minecraft servers is very much possible it might already exist.. There are enough servers out there..
Let's be CREATIVE! If Metaverse architecture just looks like futuristic versions of real-world architecture, I'm going to lose my mind. This should be an opportunity to do things that are completely impossible in our real world. Things can float; buildings can be 10x larger on the inside than the outside, etc.
"Early prototype smart phone"
Haha nice :D
I already get the same feeling like 70 year old grandparent that's struggling to even open a email.
The world is changing Fast!
And I'm only 24
Augmented Reality has the possibility to transform things. VR is a useful modelling tool, but the Metaverse is mostly just a gimmick. Like the Ponzi scheme that is crypto, the Metaverse may develop a momentum of its own with enough marketing from the likes of Zuck, but it remains a solution looking for a problem. The problem with AR is it's so much harder than VR as it has to interact with the messiness of the real world.
Agree 100% with this
Could not have said it better myself
you lost me on "ponzi scheme that crypto is". Just a close minded delusional person here folks.
@@abhayagarwal5097 I bet you spent $100 on meme coins and now spend your time telling everyone crypto is the future 😴
A solution looking for a problem. Best description I've heard.
Nice video Tomorrow's Build! Always look forward to your videos; they're super interesting.
Metaverse is basically just an online game. Lol
yup. haha..
Another awesome video!!! I got an Oculus about 2 months ago and it really does provide such a unique virtual perspective that i had never witnessed before!
I've bought a prime plot in the metaverse for $40k! Totally worth it! You see, there are a limited number of plots here and in 20 years people will see my plot and go, WOW, that guy has the best plot worth millions now. Wish I had purchased it in the beginning!
I see, so by getting in early you've cornered the best plot in this world?
Yep!
But what happens when a dozen new worlds pop up next year?
Erm ... ahhhh ... wanna buy a property?
at the end, the guy is really describing augmented reality instead of virtual reality. vr is naturally individualistic because only one person can have a vr headset while everyone watches but an ar headset worn by multiple people would allow multiple people to interact with a virtual world while still interacting with the physical world socially. Apple has said that ar will be better than vr and they have examples of how ar works with some apps they've helped develop. Besides this, the metaverse and nfts are currently something that people can make some money from because of the hype surrounding it and the people that are skeptical and hate on it are just people that are losing out on a new type of revenue even if that revenue comes from exploiting people who are buying into the hype. I like that you pointed out how advancements in the metaverse can help with architecture and construction in the physical world. It's all very exciting to learn about and i'm glad your video makes it easier to understand for people who are just learning about this and for people who may be skeptical and ignorant to learning about it.
So far all the metaverse games I have seen take place on Earth. What about space? I would love to live in the USS Voyager. Buy a quarters with a view of outer space. Customize your personal quarters with posters, trophies, and statues. Sit on the bridge. Play games in the holodeck. Talk with friends in the bar. Explore the warp core.
Instead of selling the game itself, they could sell rooms inside the ship. You pay $10 for an enlisted room. $20 for an officers room. $60 for a captain's room. Decorate the room. You could also invite friends to hang out in your room or hang out in their room. Just like selling cruise ship rooms.
Why do we need an architect to design a building in the metaverse instead of literally anyone else?
Take a drink every time Fred says "Yes, this is really happening," and you will be very drunk by the end
Great video! I love the perspective you have 👍👍
That was really interesting - we'll have to see where this goes. In the meantime, I do get a sense that there are a lot of snake oil pitches and sales going on and many of these business entities will turn out to be fly-by-night scams.
Love all your content you do brilliant 👏
What's in it for me to drink a beer, eat a hot dog, or attend a concert in virtual reality? It doesn't get me drunk, nor does it fill me up, and it certainly can't convey the feeling of a real concert. If I find myself there on a sea beach on a warm summer day while in reality i'am sitting in my cold apartment, I will still freeze.
There are so many more important things (I'm just thinking of everything in the field of education as an example) that would really move humanity forward.
This is just a gigantic attempt by big business to get even more control (and money) - and at the same time you are subjected to the political leanings of the corporations and at the mercy of them, and applaud them at the same time.
That's not progress. This is a worldwide attempt to get into control of people's opinions, views and attitudes.
I cant wait until I lay down in my cryo-matrix-life-support-box for the last time, connect to the matrix and never have to worry about my useless flesh ever again.
This was way more interesting than I initially thought it would be :D
Love the simple fact that you gave this topic a chance even though have little understanding of it, as it is really futuristic stuff!!
Which Software is this to create?
Back in the 90's, I used Architechtron. It was an early 3D Architecture software. I designed a Mansard Roof and exceed the limits of the program. It's amazing how much has changed. I barely recognize AutoCad anymore.
Which platform is this?
I was about to click off the video until he said “Wait! Don’t click off the video yet, I know exactly what your thinking!” 💀
Great overview on Architecture & design in / for the metaverse @Tomorrow's Build, thanks. I share your position and many of your views. You said it several times no matter what we think of it, "it's happening". From my exploration I found the same and it's because every person has their own values and it is no less valid just because some of us can't understand it. Basically, what is real for me IS real, the same way what is real for anyone else IS real too. IMO Architect & Designers who ignore this will be at a loss, especially those that are planning / need to still practice 5+ years from now.
"Metaverse" is just a new word for multiple virtual worlds that has been with / around us for decades via digital games. Yes, a lot of new tech like blockchain, digital currencies and the culture of a decentralized ecosystem / world is now part of the story. And I absolutely like that this brings a lot of opportunities to many people that would otherwise not exist. Freedom to create design / experiences / entire worlds and even new lives for many. And why should this upset some people that this is monetized? The gaming world has been doing it since day 1. The "Metaverse" that is now evolving are making the idea of virtual / digital worlds a mainstream reality.
As an Architect already working in building digitization and digital twins, I see a real future for any design professional in the "metaverse". Built environments have been an integral part of computer / mobile device / internet / VR games. There-in already lies a connection with the real world. Businesses in the physical world has just up to now ignored the fact that they miss out on opportunities in the virtual worlds. In fact, we are already working on ways to bring digital twin integration with metaverse platforms. For those that don't know: "digital twin" are digital versions of the real world assets that is (here's the key) bi-directionally connected to that real world asset. So with this digital twin integrated in the metaverse environment, it would be possible to work & live while in the / a metaverse and monitor & control a real world asset.
On the flip side, those from the gaming world will in turn also gain new opportunities to collaborate on integrating real world projects in this digital realm.
The future is integrated & digital. 🤩
I can't envision a world where people sit indoors and watch things on screens, when they can go out instead.. Oh.. Wait.. ;)
Its always great when you find a new channel and there's a familiar person narrating the video, in this case for me it was Fred Mills whom I know from the B1M. 😅😂
Just watched news on the Ukraine war, COVID and climate change. Now I come to this abomination of capitalism.
I whish I could show all this stuff to Aldous Huxley or George Orwell and see their reaction.
Jokes on you TB, I enjoy all of your content yet understand a slim bit of it :)
It's basically Ready Player One where your digital persona can move between different virtual 3D settings, whether for leisure or business using the same persona (or different personas if you want) and yes it involves wearing VR equipment (and also requires highspeed broadband internet connection).
Zaha Hadid architectural projects would be perfect for the Metaverse! ZH and colleagues have produced some gorgeous structures.
You should talk with people who studied at the economic university of vienna, which was designed by Zara Hadid. And even more with the people who have to take care about the building itself. (Falling down building elements and so on ...)
@@markus.kaufmann • Do you think that those issues were due to design or poor construction?
Tomorrow's build coin sounds intriguing 😂
Sounds like a currency for housing loans
There's a Japanese anime called SwordArt Online. The concept is basically a virtual headset that intercepts with neurotransmitters from your brain, thus providing perfect virtual reality immersion. The plot involves the first set of users being held hostage in the virtual world, while their bodies wither away in the physical world though.😅
Could you name the websites that sell land in a Metaverse ?
Can’t wait until the first “MetaWar.’
Check out the land sale happening on Virtua right now. 50% of large monster zone plots were sold! The land sale is still ongoing folks!
Metaverse architecture just looks like futuristic versions of real-world architecture. I got really hooked by metaverse since I've been eyeing this project Metaversus. I can't wait for this!
Thank you for this video, it was very interesting to get your opinion on the metaverse.
I don't understand why these people just seem to want to recreate existing architectural motifs. In the metaverse (hate that word) there are no physical limits, you could do all kinds of things... For instance, picture a house where the two main levels are all in one space, but one is oriented to the floor and the other is on the ceiling, so that you could look up and see another upside-down floor where the people are looking up at you. This is the kind of real innovation the virtual world offers. You could have a house where the different rooms were all in wildly different sectors of the virtual world, connected by doorways that are effectively portals... The possibilities are endless once you let go of preconceived notions of architecture, which after all are mostly dictated by physical laws that would no longer necessarily apply.
Interesting video, please post more about metaverse, it gives an idea of how the industry is developing from an interesting perspective
Hello. I'm looking for patrick vogel's contact who appears giving an interview in the video.
Can someone help me ?
“…direct continuity with social reality,” means: Yeah…you have to pay.
Welcome to the "Ready Player One" World :)
We already interact directly less often with others because of the internet … this isn’t news … there have been ongoing issues regarding lack of real life relationships, growing loneliness, suicides and now, somehow - we believe that MORE time online will create real honest relationships?
Does anyone else see the folly?
This was dope, it opened my eyes, this is literally why this is one of my favorite channels on TH-cam
The next “new shiny thing” to run after.
What's the building at 6:42 ?
As a builder in Second Life, I found this very interesting. It is fun, and sometimes very profitable, to make buildings and rent out virtual land.
def want to hear what you think of my latest video! you are one of the og virtual entrepreneurs!
Use the metaverse to test construction plans then 3d print the one you like!
All beautiful, but when will it be done?
Selling “land” and “lots” in the cyber verse has been going on for a good decade now, long before meta verse became a topic of discussion.
This is literally a foundation for a world as seen in "Ready Player One".
Definitely interesting, but I can't say I'm a fan of that kind of future.
Great video. I love metaverse. I'm also playing metaverse game, it's Defi Warrior
I have a question, hope someone answers, so basically People currently are able to create architectural and interior designs through sandbox, decenderaland..etc.. Or it is still something in progress, and is as a person we are able to sell it as NFT? or not in opensea as design for the interior and exterior design? , Please if someone understands enlighting me.. i'm a bit confused.
Most VR chat world's are made by one bloke in unity, and they look far better then most of what I've seen in this video
Could care less about the Metaverse, but I can see some value with certain aspects. I do like the ideal of being able to see how architectural designers (and urban planners) might create spaces and buildings without certain restraints such as cost, or things like zoning policies. That, I've always thought would be interesting, especially after seeing some of the renderings on this channel.
It would be nice to see a video about the record breaking Canakkale Bridge/Turkey.
They should hire people who worked on video games like COD , TLOU and such games . They have incredible graphics and physics .
Soon there gonna be metaverse ikea furniture shop where u can buy furniture to your metaverse house :D
Guys, how do you envision the Metaverse changing the way in which remote teams operate?
They should make condos decored with just t.v. that can display the metaverse , the ultimate pissing on our selves while opening a pandora s box of disconnect
Great Video! Pretty excited for what the Virtual World could be! I personally think that Decentraland or Sandbox will be the best virtual world that will pop up.
Hope to be proven wrong by Meta
the dab lmao
I would love to time travel in the Metaverse. Perhaps walk the streets of Uruk in ancient Mesopotamia or check out Corrusant in a galaxy far far away.
An interesting concept! The voxel limitation is still make it as said… cheap. But I wonder what the future might hold.
You could say bigger voxels used in Minecraft look way better in good hands. So here's the issue not with voxel limitations but with the architects not thinking about utilizing them properly
We already have Second Life which is well established since about 2003, is VERY big, a huge world.
Very good video!
Thanks 🙌

It's still in its infancy.
I keep thinking of the children's story - The Emperor's New Clothes
The requirements for the devices to run this would be huge if it were left to the architects. Games studios have done this for decades and have experience on how to handle the graphics to run well on a lot of devices.
welcome to “Ready Player One” in real life
What about geomagnetic storm/magnetic storm
The metaverse could actually be a good thing. All the people the real world really doesn't need seem to be interested in it.
I liked it from the first time, this is a magical place, and if we like something in it so much than we can built it in real life, not ruin the environment by building something that others do not like, and then demolish, and than rebuild that space with something new.
This is so creative, but I can see many many reasons that this platforms could go left, and as humans have the tendency to break things that they create I think this will not last so long.
Haha! That dab!
The METAVERSE is a lot like the AOL desktop software , everyone is going to try it , a lot will use for a while , and then before we know it, it will be dead like MySpace.
Digital twins are a good approach to the 'Metaverse'. They serve a useful and impactful purpose.
Digitally designed rooms can serve a good purpose for a 3D approach to digital business meetings like we know them from Teams.
A virtual ticket to a football stadium to view a match 'live' is a good approach to attending sports-events remotely.
Selling off digital goods like buildings, "paintings" (actually just a receipt to it) and paying for them in crypto is technically just a scam to get your money while you don't get something worth the money the seller demands for it.
There's a clear distinction between purpose and commercial gain, please be sure to study the differences.
I just want a new version of PS Home...
I also have plot of lands in the Metaverse,Nfts,
at this stage it feels like Minecraft but you have to buy the land you build on
This sounds exactly like all the hype around Second Life in 2003.
0:44 so is it like, minecraft?
