9 Megatrends Shaping the Metaverse

What are the social and technological trends that are affecting what the metaverse is becoming? In this video I cover: virtual mainstreaming (digital identity); walled garden ecosystems and the challenges by open standards like OpenXR and WASM; machine intelligence / AI; the rise of cybernetics (VR, AR, brain-computer interfaces, etc.); low code and no code platforms; simulating reality; accelerating distributed networks; blockchain adoption.

Some of the specific tech and companies covered includes: Unity, Unreal, Facebook, Roblox, GPT-3, AR, VR, neural interfaces, video games, ethereum, smart contracts, 5G, 6G, cloud computing, edge computing.
