The only "metaverse" that gained any traction is VRChat and that's mostly just a way for furries to show off their character designs.
All the ones that started as a way to leech money from home working have gone nowhere.
Fortnite kind of evolved into a metaverse
To a surprise of no one. The headsets are fucking uncomfortable. Which doesn't bother me when the goal is a gaming session because I gain something that I like (playing immersive games) to offset it. But to see some fucking avatars of people for a meeting that most likely could have been an email or two? No thanks.
Yeah, I can wear mine for an hour or so. Any more and I'll be picking my glasses out of my face.
I'm not sure who would want to wear it for 8 hours a day every day. It's they think that people will embrace the corpo subservient life if only they can pretend they're in Minority Report...
They're pricey, but you can find prescription inserts for vr headsets.
I don't wear glasses and I still find my quest 3s pretty uncomfortable. I can't play for more than an hour at a time.
