The metaverse, a 30-year-old term but nearly century-old idea, is forming around us. Every few decades, a platform shift occurs\u2014such as that from mainframes to PCs and the internet, or the subsequent evolution to mobile and cloud computing. Once a new era has taken shape, it\u2019s incredibly difficult to alter who leads it and how. But between eras, those very things usually do change. If we hope to build a better future, then we must be as aggressive about shaping it as are those who are investing to build it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The next evolution to this trend seems likely to be a persistent and \u201cliving\u201d virtual world that is not a window into our life (such as Instagram) nor a place where we communicate it (such as Gmail) but one in which we also\u00a0exist\u2014<\/i>and in 3D (hence the focus on immersive VR headsets and avatars).<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
