i described it as the 3d internet. it's notjust the digital bit, i think there is the intersection with the real world that we need to think about as well. typically people do think of the metaverse as a snow crash, ready player one, the ultimate dystopian vision would be the matrix as well. this is the problem, it's all the science geeks pushing us toward the new future? it's trying to move from that 2d static, i guess spectator sports that we have been doing a lot of at the moment because we have been staring at 2d screens for a very long time during the pandemic. moving into a 3d space. the exciting bit is that it could be the new internet, it's enabled by technologies like virtual reality and augmented reality and mixed reality. those are three slightly different technologies as well.
