Now these clowns are trying to develop something that can be easily copied and is already widespread in the normal 2D gaming world, just in the VR space, instead of pushing the field of VR as a whole and creating new concepts that would be only applicable there, like in the case of the rise of the internet and new technologies and concepts that came with it.

Isn't it just glorified fashion illustration? Essentially these are 3D drawings that's it :) Actual fashion and the beauty of it is conquering your fashion sketches, conquering your elaborate ideas by overcoming physical obstacles. That is one of the main reason we love fashion. To draw an haute couture dress is somewhat easy, but to make it, is beyond hard. Making a dress is a journey for all the people involved, that is how innovation happens. These animated pieces remind me the 80s licensing craze or something of sort :) It is a great new avenue for fashion houses to bank easy money. It is not the future of fashion, it is just a new market for fashion to expand. Silly gimmicks bringing big buck, that's about it :)

I think these brains do not consider the casual or moderate gamer. Hardcore gamers have no problem paying for a new console every year or so and the high cable costs. Remember the Red Ring of Death of the Xbox 360? The casual and moderate gamers may not tolerate the waste of having to junk a console. Virtually no resale value because who wants to buy a dying console and the frequent disposal impact to the environment. Gaming has always been hardest on hardware because of the heat generated destroying electronics whether it be a PC, console or phone. Perhaps in time reliability will improve but I doubt it any time soon. The makers keep pushing the processing speed envelope to sell ever more product yet not enough to cause a class action suit because of device failures. A delicate balance.

I don’t know y’all, I really loved IMVU & the Sims as a kid. I literally found IMVU because I was looking to play a dress up game. 2nd Life was a HUGE game at the time, but it more for adults.... This is definitely going to take off. The real question is how will be balance our “real” reality?

[@moneymarre13]

Talk that talk sis. I loved that ho I used to go throw parties and pErfom cheif keef 😭

Doubt.. but add an extra layer on psychological discussions ... As to being robbed or groped in the meta verse

[@robbietorkelsonn8509]

loved second life the Trump presidency felt like a revolt of the common people though the sentiment like it existed in the early 2010's can not be replicated in my opinion

[@kirillxsobolev]

When I need non professional surface overview of something I always use big medias like this. Even teenage bloggers have already recorded much detailed video from inside the situation. Now it is time for Bloomberg!

[@victorlorenzo580]

Clothing department stores will pair up with metaverse companies such as Meta (you can apply this with other entities) and create a system where you buy the actual physical product in real life and you would then pay an additonal "x" or if not the same ammount for the same product to be able to have the avatar version of it .

Considering what idiotic amounts of money kids spend on for example Fortnite skins, this might very well become big business

[@deadwingdomain]

That's to keep the game running. It's a buisness model we've stupidly accepted to keep them up an running. It's not Just to look unique. Its showing support...

[@_Athanase_]

But why the need for NFT and crypto? It make no sense to me. You might be able to argue that a "sponsored" skin for $20 will generate interest, but a $2000 exclusive online item cannot become widely used. With different marketplaces for different games, I don't think we can justify why anyone would need such "high end" digital items, that is non transferable between games and will loose all its value once the game/experience gets slightly older.

@@_Athanase_ it’s not just about in-game but also irl soon. When Apple will release its glasses, AR and NFT fashion will collide and explode!

[@halo2pro9]

@@_Athanase_ It will be transferable with NFT tech

[@_Athanase_]

@@Ndriana do you currently own a AR device, or do you intend to buy one? I think the technology is interesting, but I can't think of a reason to use it in my day to day life. How much money do you spend on fashion? Would you be willing to spend more for something that nobody else can see without an app? There are quite a few questions we have to answer before we can justify buying into the hype. I think it's an interesting idea, but it's a niche product that is not likely to raise the billions this video seems to believe it will.

I used to think what makes an expensive garment is production techniques and materials used.

[@robinpratama8897]

No its not, some luxury item overpriced their item for its value the brand hold, other than that it is from the manufacture and material cost

[@deepdude4719]

Not really

We will look EVERYwhere else for satisfaction except within ones self.

[@dskye2634]

Changing our definition of what is real!

[@NasreenUS]

I’ll pass on metaverse thank you

[@nataliewalters2759]

I learned that this will be pushed on the public eventually and we will have to . Just look at most stores . There aren’t many employees there and there are more self check out lanes . More people will be doing things online in the Metaverse. It’s scary trust me I understand . Humans are never satisfied and we become our own down fall.

[@dchen1010]

It does sound ridiculous, but it is already happening! You see games like Fortnite, Pokemon unite, Overwatch make a bulk of their money from selling digital skins. The skins have no effect on game play.. but people just to dress up their characters/flex to other people that they have the newest stuff! The biggest NFT marketplace is Opensea. If you go browse their top collections, most of them are selling for astronomical prices - above 2k. NFTs = status symbol

[@Motivation2Invest]

like any new technology, First Scepticism & Fear, then early adopters, mass appeal, and then the people without the technology look like outsiders. This happened with Internet ("nerds"), Cell Phones, etc

[@iustitiaepervenit]

Yes. Clubhouse. First: disgusting and ridiculous. Second: all these early adopters are stupidest people with FoMo syndrome. And then all the people which didn't believe in that artificial hype didn't miss anything

[@flowerpower2726]

Exactly. Just look at these comments. Most pushing back against it and/or not understanding the tech. This is coming whether they see the value in it or not.

[@thirdsenseacademy-forwomen9640]

Thank you for this video!

[@wealthbringer]

Great context and perspective on what is unfolding now with Web3 on the blockchain.

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

Came across this in Feb 2023, just amused by how blindly consumers came be when it's comes to burning thier money 💰

[@SweetTodd]

I thought it was parts of the fashion industry flushing money. The reason it failed because you can't show it off in real life the same way you could with real clothing.

[@CooBlu20]

Playstation Home was so ahead of its Time! Too bad they didn't know what they had!

[@CalebWilloww]

I love this series.

[@lukasjiqi7084]

Great video. Needs to be seen by everyone in or not yet in the NFT space.

[@mohamedismail6273]

I pray that these vision will not come true

It's called the Sims

Great information!

I need more videos on this, I been looking into getting my store on Metaverse
