Really enjoyed being on this show. The conversation about the metaverse can be much bigger if we look past the press releases and marketing fluff and instead focus on what it really means for us—the players.
🔊 Still talking about The #Metaverse, with @BENfromTV, Creative Director at @InVisionApp and co-founder of @blockfeedapp and @jamie247 talking:

October 1973, Ohio. A UFO stops over Captain Lawrence Coyne's Army helicopter and floods the cockpit with green light. When it leaves, they're climbing 1,000 ft a minute with the controls set to descend.

In EP30 of the 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 #podcast, I had a chat with @BENfromTV.
We talked about #avatars, #identity in the #metaverse, #deepfakes and #NFTs.
Enjoy!

This @InVisionApp doc emphasizes how even small team collaborations can be very powerful. Multi-disciplinary teams with a well-thought-out approach to product development and design can achieve great things!

Meta running a secret disinformation campaign about a competitor, without disclosing its funding or orchestration of the effort. If Facebook takes issue with a competitor, Facebook executives should write op eds in their own names, not this astroturfy sleeze.
Facebook hired a Republican consulting firm to run a campaign aimed at generating outrage and scrutiny of TikTok. Some of the harmful TikTok "trends" pushed by the firm were in fact false rumors or trends that actually started on... Facebook. *chef's kiss* washingtonpost.com/technolog…

I've collaborated with @sequin_ar this Christmas to bring you a very special Holiday Wish, straight from the Metaverse.

@BENfromTV dropped an excellent video on the history of virtual worlds and the lessons we can learn as we look to our future in the Metaverse.
Give it a listen! It’s worth your time🤝
@OpenMetaDAO to continue the rabbit hole 🕳

@BENfromTV asks an important question.
With all of the industry's focus on forecasting & the future, what can the *history* of virtual worlds teach us about the metaverse & its potential?

In more underreported news: Virtual worlds pioneer Raph Koster (Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies) reveals his company @PlayableWorlds' new technology and claims to have created a #metaverse platform that makes "AAA virtual spaces as straightforward as the Web"
I wrote a little something about how our #metaverse tech works at Playable Worlds... and how in the end, it's not about tech, but about people. raphkoster.com/2021/09/09/re…
One of the most spot on #metaverse observations by @ballmatthew imho. My only comment is that virtual South Park is a more likely cultural touchstone, or a planet-sized Adult Swim. Whatever it is created will likely push social and cultural norms.
The conversation about the metaverse would benefit greatly from the perspective of virtual worlds designers like Raph and their long legacy of innovation and research in the space. More of this, plz.
Everyone is talking about the #metaverse. As someone who has actually built and run one, I have Thoughts. raphkoster.com/2021/09/02/on…
This wouldn’t be an ethical dilemma if we just moved all of war to a giant video game.

Wonderful conversation today with @jamie247 for The Metaverse Podcast. Wide ranging convo concerning metaverse ethics, economies, and what it all means for the us the players. Thanks for creating the space for convo on a supremely important topic. Keep an eye out for the ep!
Very soon this sort of thing will be all over Tik Tok as consumer mocap, 3D avatars, and real time rendering collide. wild times #virtualproduction

Facebook will buy Ready Player Me. It will be way more significant for their goal of becoming a metaverse company than oculus. #VR #ItsFriday
