    And googling does provide answers. Watching the Microsoft video (a horrid video BTW) I see disembodied avatars missing everything from the waist down (like legs and feet, don't get any other ideas!) doing things that we would normally do in person or outdoors, but not anymore. :sigh:

    I think that they're aiming at something like OASIS from Ready Player One.

    So old that I did my first coding in octal via switches on a DEC PDP 8

      It's like conventional VR, but instead of it being about playing a game it's about fArsebook spying on everything you do to be more stalkerish than they already are.

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

        The way I translate it in understandable terms is a VR open-world game in which everyone can buy land and build virtual stuff with real money, interact with other avatars, exchange said virtual stuff. Basically a Matrix built for corporate greed, where you can rent a spot in Times Square for a kidney and a half or a spot under a dirty bridge for a few cents, but it's in VR! (and FacebookMeta will happily take a commission from each and every transaction in this world)

          my take on that the Avatar thing might make sense: video cameras only do so much, and some upper body gestures might be missed Since semi real avatars would be overly process intense, characters reduce uncanny valley issues and still allows for enough personalisation to fit most individuals as to why - because some groups think sharing space is nice, which ignore a bunch which just want give me the tasks you want me to do, and ill do them and done. none of this group activity stuff

              The Websters dictionary defines the Metaverse as a virtual world full of creeps and peeping toms lorded over by the creep king. [citation needed]

                  If 42 is the answer to life, and we see life in a 2 dimensional realm(despite reality being 3D) We must square 42 1764, the answer to life the universe and everything in a 4d realm is 1764 I rest my case...

                  Hmm, wouldn't it be the 2/3 root of 42? Or would it be (n-1)/n where n is the ACTUAL number of dimensions we live in but can't seem to get a grasp on?

                    In it's ultimate incarnation, it's the Matrix. Live (what you call) your life virtually.

                      The Metaverse is the name of a new user interface designed to increase engagement among viewers of advertising on the internet. The metaverse reduces cost to marketers by using viewers' resources to render the advertising content. The metaverse drives sales of supported third-party components for graphics processing and provision of bandwidth, creating business synergy through a mutually profitable positive feedback loop.
