Metaverse is supposed to be a common virtual space or universe that everyone will have access to – not only users, but also creators and other companies or brands. “If you are a car manufacturer, your presence in Metavers will not be in the form of advertisements. It will be a place where you can drive your cars and have a real experience with them. We have the opportunity to create even more, much more interesting experiences. “ Sweeney explains.
He adds that it is not sci-fi and all the necessary technologies are already available. He did not specify the exact form of interconnection of the physical and virtual worlds. But Facebook, HTC and other companies have been selling and developing virtual reality glasses for years. The Metaverse is also to be photorealistic thanks to the new generation Unreal Engine, which is also being developed by Epic Games.
The head of the company says that it will not be a revolutionary leap, but Metaverse will be about gradually packing functions and possibilities for creators and users. The first and primary task of this project is to create a virtual world where you will be able to meet friends, teammates, colleagues and spend time with them in the form of any avatar. Something like virtual reality internet.
