[x3d-public] What is the metaverse?

[John Carlson]

I kind of like “Spatial Internet” is to Metaverse/World as Internet is to
Website.


Perhaps “extended-reality” would be better than “virtual-reality.”
Meaning we’ve extended beyond mere VR into other accessible media including
the passive and active external environments.

This means that real objects with behaviors can be brought into each
metaverse, and many metaverses can be viewed in the metaverse, and state
can transfer between metaverses via the external environments.


XRML anyone?
