It is likely to enable unprecedented levels of communication between people and access to information, dataspaces, and material instantiations. Many big techs start to see this revolutionary concept as their next direction of development. Meta’s (formerly known as Facebook) new ‘Metaverse’ depicts the latest development in that segment, and, through the inclusion of virtual reality content in real life, so-called augmented reality, both the digital and non-digital world increasingly coalesce.
