18 years after Second Life began metaverses are the new hot thing again. Facebook, which now calls itself Meta, is making a virtual world with the same properties as Second Life. Is it possible that millions of people will go and live in there? Will they feel they have become their avatars?
Or will the metaverse that we really want be an augmented real world? The maker of Pokemon Go wants his newest augmented creation to exist in real life and help people to get together in this world.
Which of these futures do you think will succeed?
Or perhaps you think that we are living in a simulation right now? In that case, what is the reality?
Come and discuss simulations. Bring your avatar!
