Is Metaverse still a thing

[tabas]

The actual use of it is an escape to the reality. There are people that have chosen to stay in the Metaverse rather than to commit their lives outside of it, in the real world.

The concept of the metaverse does look futuristic and for the time being it may only be entertainment or an effective alternative under certain conditions. But looking at the negative side in the long term, maybe this is the initial process of shifting the role of humans being replaced by robots in all aspects of real life, especially the workspace. We currently see this is actually a social threat, but no one can deny the future and all have to live virtually.

Yeah, as of now, it's actually good to be entertained with it. If you've got a lot of time to be spent there and you may just want to be part of it, you're sure good to be in there. There are companies that do offer some hardware so that you can actually to be in there but it's also like a game or an actual game that's certainly addictive. So, when you've got plenty of it, you'll surely be addicted on it especially when the project you've joined on its Metaverse is allowing you to earn its currency/cryptocurrency which can be exchanged into a real thing.

I watched a clip concerning the development and features soon to be applied on the Metaverse concept.  Other ways it can be applied have proven efficient enough, like in architecture and building plans, in engineering and bridge construction, in an office setting for meetings or group work in a virtual space. It might not have gotten to the desired stage yet, but Mark and other teams of excellent software and hardware designers are working tirelessly to make this metaverse and web 3 concept achieve its futuristic goals.

I think a lot of people still dont understand the features metaverse give. Some people see it as an online game, others as a sort of virtual place to chat. For me the most interesting feature of metaverse, is that you find something online (during that virtual game), test it there and can order it for offline usage. Like you go to store online with out avatar, try on some clothes, check how they look on you and order the one you want. You dont have to go to the shop physically, and skip matching and size failure part. Trick is, there are few shops or markeplaces that offer something like that. And usual-regular online shopping is still dominant on the market.

I think the metaverse will have a place in the future, but right now maybe the metaverse is not known to everyone, only certain people know about it, even though the VR hype already exists but this only applies to certain people, not for everyone.
let's wait until the time the metaverse will be known and understood by all circles

Facebook has wasted too much of its money on these Metaverse craps but it still going nowhere. Most users saw they receive no real benefit over normal Facebook when switching to this Metaverse universe. They knew only Facebook get something out of it: money from advertisers to put ads on the Metaverse place with a huge amount of users hanging around. Of course, Facebook wants to encourage people to use it, paying KOLs to use it and influencing their followers to increase the users count. But as always, your money can't just keep people turning in to use Metaverse when again, no real benefit for the normal users. Unless Facebook changes its approaching, tough luck, they're going to lose more money while their Metaverse craps will keep going nowhere, being a huge money pit.

What you say is exactly what metaverse will bring us, not just virtual games like the projects are doing now. Metaverse projects that we currently have like Sandbox or mana, they are just simple games and don't offer real features and real metaverse experience yet. I believe Mark zuckerberg and Meta are on the right track and they are ahead of their time, just like they did with facebook. Many people still don't know the real benefits of the metaverse so have made disparaging comments but once they become popular, I believe they will regret their doubts.

Why considered Metaverse "as a future" in the first place? For me, it's just a usual thing that can be happened in the future as part of the growing and improving technology. You have to understand that the idea was become popular today because of the hype but the execution isn't as simple as everyone thinks.

Just don't dream about it and let just the "usual" progress take place rather than be carried by the hype.

Simply, if it will happen, it will happen.

Thing is that technology seem to steer towards the creation and proliferation of alternate reality that is powered by futuristic technology. And though at first it may sound Blade Runner-esque, which it does, its benefits are there and are especially present during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Which led people to believe that it could be the future of technology or at least of crypto, given the fact that it was what is needed and sought for by everyone at the time. Soon as normalization came around and people have become comfortable again with seeing each other elbow to elbow, it just lost its flavor.

Facebook spent a lot of money to develop its Metaverse but didn't realize that the public wasn't ready for it. it's too early to believe that the metaverse will be in demand fast, when people's mindsets grow slowly, society still needs more time to accept the metaverse.
metaverse the first boom when the pandemic occurred at that time many people thought that everything would be safer to do at home but after the pandemic ended people returned to their original habits because it was more comfortable to do face-to-face.

I've heard of news not so long ago about Decentraland, one of the biggest and most funded metaverse projects out there having a measly daily active users of less than 40. On the other hand, Meta, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's answer to Metaverse has been receiving flak in multiple aspects of his still in-progress creation. I also noticed that less and less projects include implementation of their project or a fundamental of it in the Metaverse as a form of future-proof answer. So this begs the question, is Metaverse still the future? is it just a fever dream we once had that we are now waking up on?

The metaverse is not just the dream of a single person and at some point it will materialize, but it could take longer than expected, something that is very common when it comes to technological developments in which predictions put a date for a particular technology to become really popular and in reality it does not happen until decades later, as such it is entirely possible that something similar happens to the metaverse and it takes a lot longer to be implemented successfully.

[Ahli38]

although current technological advances have not been able to realize the Metaverse perfectly. or it can be said that today's technology has not been able to make it happen optimally for now. so not many people are interested in it. but I still think that Metaverse will have good potential in the future. although it has received a lot of criticism for the time being. but if this project is really successful then I think it will be a popular and widely used project. but to be honest using the device on my head would still feel uncomfortable. I was expecting a more comfortable device to use. and I think the metaverse will definitely be popular in its time in the future. but not now.

With the development of technology and the more digitally oriented people metaverse will probably find its place in the future, but I think we are still a decade (or more) from some working product that will be really interesting, that can offer more than what we have now.
For now, I see metaverse as some hype. And we all know that story, there are zillion projects around, and big words are coming from all of them, they are trying to take advantage of the hype to make some profit... but we all know that most of them will not survive the first months!

This is a weird question, projects may come and go but what we are forgetting about is that you could only end up with these ideas and they will stay. Like is ICO still a thing? Is NFT still a thing, is Defi a thing? I mean these are just names of the systems that we deal with, and they are always a thing, it's all about projects.

Look at 2021, we had one million DeFi projects, most of them are gone, but uniswap and pancakeswap are still going strong and I believe that they will stay strong for a while longer for sure. I personally believe that we shouldn't be shocked if we end up with something in the metaverse all over again as well, it's quite possible.

You have used correct words "simple games". Many people are used to AAA games, futuristic possibilities, or have high demands or expectations. And what they get in most cases ? Pixel graphics, limited use cases, demos. They have thousand of similar in pixeled indie games. Gaming industry is far to developed that metaverse. By the time metaverse will be on current AAA games level or offer something extraordinary, regular gaming experience will completely switch to VR.

[Joshapat]

At present many metaverse projects that continue to bring unique concepts, I'm sure Metaverse will explode in 2 or 3 years so that it will make the market very busy, the best thing now is to continue to invest in projects that have great potential to skyrocket.

I would accept your argument if Metaverse became as big as these aforementioned system solutions. You said it yourself, there are a million DeFi projects that came and went during its height. Metaverse on the other hand reached a certain height among people's ears, then it just died off. And even if you argue that there would be opportunities in the future where Metaverse would be needed, which I still believe so, just take for example the use of QR codes, the current stature Metaverse faces is just too concerning to not rile up a discussion.

With how things are faring today, Metaverse wouldn't be the future we sure hoped it to be unlike last year. Numerous factors caused this decline in people's interest over the previously heavily anticipated addition to the internet of things. One major reason is the fact that as we transition to the new normal, we lost interest in keeping in touch on a virtual world when we could just meet eye to eye in person which is way better than seeing a goofy-ass avatar of your partner from a computer screen or an oculus drive.

Unfortunately when Metaverse first appeared, the red market was almost a year and a hard struggle to be able to convince investors, but it was worth our appreciation that some metaverse projects managed to reach the hardcap by winning hundreds of millions of dollars and this is a sign that Metaverse will develop.

Well I'm not a fan of Metaverse but some people take the opportunity from the hype to make some money from the investor, I saw a lot of Metaverse Projects end up being scams because from what I  see they only develop a game and even more it's a simple game, not something related to the metaverse. I'm not bearish about metaverse just looking for more projects that really serious about Metaverse tho.

The scam will always appear and take advantage of any moment, and now the first position is meme coins, initially looks good and promising but becomes a scam, and in my opinion this is common, when metaverse often becomes trending it will be used scammers to deceive investors .

Since 2000, there has been a trend to create virtual reality.  It is no coincidence that at the beginning of the new millennium the film "The Matrix" was filmed. 

Since 2000, people have been actively using the Internet.  The virtual space has become the new frontier for people.  With the massive advent of smartphones, the Internet has become even more accessible.  The creation of a metaverse is a logical step towards the development of virtual reality. 

However, we are currently seeing a slowdown in the process of creating a full-fledged Metaverse. 

Why is this happening?  There can be many reasons. 

After the covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, people are tired of virtual reality.  In addition, to create a full-fledged virtual reality, new devices are needed that have not yet been invented. 

This is why the creation of the Metaverse has now slowed down.

Metaverse is not a still thing like that, just like how ICO is not, sure ICO was a big deal back in the day but how many projects really do it nowadays? Not many of them do. Meta will become a thing again in the future if Facebook really does manage to make one that is realistic, but aside from that I do not think that it would be real.

Even something that would work with VR, and give you a semi decent look on where you are, could make it better, like you log in, and you work there like it’s your business. But in reality, we all know that it’s not going to be a high end thing for now, that is why we gave up, and even the biggest names of metaverse are not getting attention these days.
