Metaverses: Is the Future Here?

I was into the idea of ​​metaverses before it became mainstream! Back then I already saw the problem that people are only now facing.

It would seem that we have everything to create virtual worlds. Imagination? Yes, please. Powerful computers? Sure. But here's the problem - this year, interest in metaverses has fallen. Even Zuckerberg's Horizon Worlds project hasn't taken off as expected. Do you know how many active users they have? Only 200,000 per month. For comparison, Facebook has 1 billion!

I think it's all about uncomfortable helmets. Who wants to wear a brick weighing 500+ grams on their head? For example: Oculus Quest 2 weighs 500 grams - not at all comfortable.

I dream of the day when lightweight, compact VR glasses appear, like in the movies. And so that the battery lasts not a couple of hours, but a whole day.

We are waiting for VR glasses to become more affordable. Now the average price is about $400. But soon they will become cheaper, like smartphones once were.
