No legs. No arms either. But if you wanted to be uncomfortably close to an expressionless floating head the #metaverse is now ready for you.

@Guul @SURF More important than the question of when or what it will be is the question why it should be anything at all.
Dubious actors are scrambling for the next cash cow monopoly, and this document rightfully mentions infamous parties as a reason why people are reluctant of the whole thing. But it counts 0 occurances of the word "why". Why would anyone even want it in the first place? What need does it aim to fulfill?

OK, I can't speak to the hardware as I've not tried it, and I'm still convinced Meta's business model will lead it to a place that's actively horrible for its users, but their ad agency has absolutely nailed this video/ad/short film. This is best-in-class advertising, even better than Apple's.
I've never seen anyone make a better case for general consumer adoption of XR Headsets than this.

Metaverse: What happened to Mark Zuckerberg's next big thing? - BBC News

"How unprofitable? Well, the most recent figures from Meta are eye-watering.
Reality Labs - which as the name suggests is Meta's virtual and augmented reality branch - has lost a staggering $21 billion since last year."
No comment needed.
#Metaverse #AR #VR #Privacy #DataProtection #XR: "The immersive internet experience known as the metaverse will erode users’ privacy unless significant steps are taken to improve and regulate how the technology captures and stores personal data, a new report from New York University argues.
The metaverse relies on extended reality (XR) technologies — the umbrella term referring to augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality. The report from NYU’s Stern Center for Business and Human Rights warns that because the technology doesn't work without gathering and processing vast quantities of personal and bodily data, it presents a major privacy risk.
According to the report, the bodily data alone can be used to deduce behavioral and psychological information about individuals.
“Conventional XR hardware is equipped with sensors that continuously track at least three types of user data: head movements, eye movements, and spatial maps of physical surroundings,” the report says."

Have you noticed how #Meta is now doing ads based on keyword targeting in response to #Mastodon searches? It seems like they're really pushing for #Threads to become the go-to app for the #Fediverse, even though Threads hasn't officially joined yet.
Funny enough, this strategy reminds me of their previous #Metaverse initiative. They went all out and even changed their name from "Facebook" to "Meta".
Given their track record, I wouldn't be surprised if Meta eventually rebrands themselves as "Fedi". 😁

Happy Virtual Worlds Day!
Which #VirtualWorld do you like best?
It's happening. Probably.
The #Fediverse and the #Metaverse will grow another bit closer again.
The #HoloNeon grid has announced that it will create an elaborate, bi-directional connection between the grid and its own (streams) instance. This will actually include the automatic creation of an #OpenSim avatar for each channel created.
I sincerely hope they'll #OpenSource that development.
Here's the official announcement:
Aeris Irides schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Sun, 20 Aug 2023 05:28:06 +0200 We will connect streams federated server to OpenSimulator federated metaverse server.
Objectives:
create account will happen on streams, account will be created on OpenSimulator server.
Sync passwords when updated on streams instance.
Photos marked full perm in OS will show up on streams feed
Profile photo changed in OS will appear on streams profile and vice-versa
Notifications (@metions, @replies, @privatemessage, etc) will popup in OS viewer.
A bit of explanation, especially for those of you who don't know the Fediverse beyond Mastodon and Lemmy:
#Streams is a code repository which contains a Fediverse server application created in 2022 that can be seen as a descendant of the #RedMatrix from 2012 and its successor #Hubzilla (see here) from 2015. While it doesn't have quite as many features as Hubzilla, it still goes well beyond what Mastodon has to offer and even surpasses Lemmy here and there. It offers #NomadicIdentity which is nothing new; the Red Matrix was created to introduce it, and Hubzilla has it, too.
Since this Fediverse server application is intentionally nameless and brandless, it is usually being referred to by the name of the repository in parentheses: (streams).
Before you ask: Yes, (streams) federates with Mastodon and Lemmy.
And now for those of you who have found this post elsewhere than on Lemmy:
#OpenSimulator, #OpenSim in short (see here), is basically #SecondLife in free, open-source, community-driven, decentralised and federated. So it's a platform for 3-D #VirtualWorlds.
Unlike so many others, it wasn't created recently to cash in on the metaverse hype. It has been around since 2007, it has been federated since 2008, and the OpenSim community has been using the term "metaverse" regularly since at least 2010, most likely even longer. It's also non-commercial at its core, and it probably offers the cheapest land of all virtual worlds.
Holo Neon is one of over 400 known active OpenSim grids (worlds), most of which, like Holo Neon, are connected to each other on the so-called #Hypergrid.
It's one of only very few which have a #cryptocurrency integrated, and the one that Holo Neon uses can't be traded for real money. Most grids don't have any currency at all; some use the grid-overarching Gloebit, some only have "monopoly money" that can't be traded with real money, and a very few commercial grids have their own currencies.
"But what has me worried right now is not just the possibility that the whole generative AI economy—still based more on promise than actual commercial use—could see a massive, gut-wrenching correction, but that we are building our entire global and national policy on the premise that generative AI will be world-changing in ways that may in hindsight turn out to have been unrealistic."

🥥 Somebody at #Disney saw through the #metaverse hype.
Next step, somebody sees through the #AI hype. 🥥
Cultural production on the internet has always been a mystery to me. Like why did #SomethingAwful or #4Chan produce so much before they went straight into the toilet? Same with #Reddit.
This makes me think that if some version of the #Metaverse ever takes off, the most interesting implementation won't be made by #Meta. They may build the most used one, or the most profitable one, but I doubt it will be the one that produces anything interesting.
