The Washington Post reported that "The metaverse is
different from today's virtual reality, where clunky headsets
offer siloed experiences and few chances to cross-play with people
who own other gadgets. Instead, the metaverse would be a massive
communal cyberspace, linking augmented reality and virtual reality
together, enabling avatars to hop seamlessly from one activity to
the next." The August 30, 2021 article
entitled "Big Tech wants to build the
'metaverse.' What on Earth does that mean?"
included these comments:
Microsoft, Facebook and other
tech companies claim a virtual reality universe is the future of
the Internet.
The metaverse doesn't exist
today, and there's no clear date for its arrival.
