Metaverse is a proposed development of the Internet as a shared virtual space populated by 3D avatars and accessed using virtual and augmented reality headsets. It will allow users to interact, work, and experience events virtually rather than physically. The metaverse is intended to be an extension of current social media where users can work, learn, game, and socialize in virtual environments rather than being limited to screens. However, critics argue that extensive use could reduce real-world interactions and tolerance while giving companies extensive personal data on users.
4. WHAT IS META
• Meta is not just a new brand name for Facebook.
• It is going beyond just social media.
• Into design and manufacture of new technologies.
• Meta is going to give rise to metaverse.
• It is going to be the next phase of social media.
• An internet platform that gives more submissive experience than ever before.
• Social media that you are not just looking on a screen, but actually are inside.
5. META VERSE
• Just like media evolved from paper form to pictures and then to videos.
• Meta Verse is going to be the next phase of social media.
• An internet platform that gives more submissive experience than ever before.
• Social media that you are not just looking on a screen, but actually are inside.
6. META VERSE
• An entire digital universe powered by
augmented reality and virtual reality.
• With whatever setting and experience
that one want to be.
• A shared everlasting virtual universe.
• Accessed through special type of virtual
glasses.
7. AVATAR
• As we have a profile picture for our social media
account. That is representing the account holder.
• In meta verse we will have avatars.
• That can be molded as we wanted. How we want
them to look.
• They will actually be renders with enormous details
to seem hyper realistic instead of these cartoons
visuals.
9. EXPERIENCES
• Meta Verse will enable users to live their
fantasies.
• A user will be able to experience wherever
he/she want to be while staying at home.
• One can experience the summit of mount
Everest, and then switch to some beautiful
sunset view with just a click.
• Feeling all of this with extreme level of
realism due to augmented reality while
staying in the bed.
10. KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING
• First in libraries we had to spent hours to gain
knowledge of a certain thing.
• Then through internet now we have images
and videos to get a better understanding.
• With metaverse we can actually be in front of
what we want to learn.
• Watch planets as we were in space, watch
certain empires rise throughout history, we
can even be among dinosaurs and see them
walking around.
11. WORK AND PRODUCTIVITY
• Due to recent situations of lockdown, things
were shifted towards work from home.
• Almost all the possible work scenarios can
be shifted to meta verse, where we can be in
our virtual classrooms taking classes, or in
offices doing our jobs, while actually being in
home couch.
12. GAMES
• Currently a lot of games can be played via VR.
• And a lot of games use login via Facebook.
• So, in future Meta will inhibit a lot of virtual
games which we will play.
13. HEADSETS
• Right now there are plenty of virtual
headsets.
• But within a year Meta is launching a headset
named project Cambria.
• It will have resolution almost equal to
resolution of human eye.
• It will be able to track facial expressions in
real time, so that the people who see our
avatars will also see our realistic body
language and expressions.
14. A NEW ECONOMY
• Meta will have Horizon Store to sell things in this
virtual universe.
• Different brands or people themselves can sell their
virtual goods in this augmented/virtual world and
earn through this platform.
• We as a generation are already buying and selling
virtual goods like premium game products or skins.
• Similarly, we can design our own digital products like
avatar clothing's and sell them there.
• To support transaction system, cryptocurrency and
other similar stuff already exists.
• And blockchain to keep track of all these virtual
goods and ownership.
15. OTHER COMPANIES
• Other companies can also use this platform to sell their products.
• Just like we see adds on Youtube or in Facebook, advertisements will be displayed on
billboards in meta verse.
• Or Simply showcase their products, so that users can have on-hand experience of their
new product, like on the launch of some new phone or new vehicle etc.
16. MODERATION
• Right now, these social media platforms have enormous teams that are scanning for the worst things
people are posting and stop it from spreading.
• With this new gigantic platform they will have to keep track of what everybody is doing, what is
written on their clothes etc.
• So scanning and hunt down for hate speech, exploitation, terrorism etc. will become extremely
difficult.
17. DATA SECURITY
• Meta/Facebook don’t have a good past
of handling user data securely.
• There are many incidents when
sensitive data of several hundred
thousands users (or more) got leaked.
• More ever, being closed source
platform we never know that to whom
Facebook is sharing our data, because
that is what they do to run their
business.
18. OUR DIGITAL SELF
• We are no longer just uploading pictures to
Instagram, but also viewing certain adds,
watch certain videos, follow specific people.
• With all of this data Mata will have a digital
copy of us.
• They’ll run super powerful AI algorithms on
this digital copy to know what it would like or
dislike.
• Then show us further content accordingly, or
sell this data to other companies.
• Thus we are and will be giving such level of
personal interest information to Meta Verse,
that we will not even share with our family
and friends.
19. LESS TOLERATE WORLD
• We are already viewing what we want to and what we
like on internet.
• Things we don’t like don’t appear on our Facebook or
Youtube feed.
• Internet surrounds us with the things that appeal to us.
• Same concept will be mapped to much larger scale
virtual world, where things we don’t like would simply
just don’t exist.
• So, without others’ opinions we will always know that
we are right even if we aren’t.
• Our tolerance level will further decline toward the actual
real world.
20. LEAVING THE REAL PICTURE
• In Meta Verse our avatar can do what we want,
achieve goals we want and visit fabulous
places.
• Meta Verse can the world of our fantasies,
where we accomplish those dreams which
aren’t possible for us in real life.
• Like change how our avatars look, get all the
life luxuries etc.
21. LEAVING THE REAL PICTURE
• So, after living the dream life for an hour to so,
when we’ll return to our real self with all of its
deficiencies, what we’ll feel?
• We’ll immediately want to get back into that
beautiful world and spend more time there
becoming more submerged in it and more
disconnected to our real life and disliking reality
more.
• Because platform is build and designed to keep
users engaged for as long as possible.
