What happened to the metaverse?


Author Matthew Ball discusses an update to his book “The Metaverse” and where the technology is now.

But Matt’s still on the case — in fact he just performed an almost complete update of the book, now with the much more sober title, “Building the Spatial Internet.” It’s out next week on Tuesday, July 23rd. If you read or watched my review when it came out, you’ll know I think the Vision Pro is sort of a end point for one set of technologies, and I wanted to know if Matt felt the same, and what needs to happen to make all of this more mainstream and accessible. That’s all while game makers contend with an industry-wide downturn that’s led to waves of layoffs in addition to a pretty stark lack of consumer enthusiasm in the whole metaverse concept.
