  • "What we have right now is potential. At its most basic, the metaverse is a combination of the Web’s connectivity and the immersiveness of spatial computing: interactivity + convincing physical reality. The combination of those two characteristics leads to a lot of different potential applications: accurate physical simulations and effective remote social interactions; universal digital twins for product design, testing, manufacture, marketing, and sales; practical AR optics guiding people through tasks and spaces; IOT sensor networks; and more, including plenty of technologies no one has thought of yet. So while yes, the metaverse could be “a place to immerse yourself in any digital surrounding, and participate in any physical reality, at any time, ” it could also be so much more than a consumer playground. It could be a whole new system for documenting, designing, and moving through the world."

  • "What is the metaverse and why does anyone care whether or not it’s “open and inclusive”? Here’s what the NFT influencers selling you tracts of metaverse land for your digital ape won’t admit: we don’t yet know what the metaverse is going to be."

  • "The metaverse will bring together diverse technologies, requiring a constellation of interoperability standards, created and maintained by many standards organizations."
