For collaboration or socialising, a sense of place sets virtual worlds apart from alternatives like instant messaging and conference calls. As in the real world, meeting to play games or do business (or both) in a virtual world needs a place to do it. Unlike the real world, there are few constraints to limit these places. It doesn’t rain if you don’t want it to, and you don’t need shade from the sun, so a roof becomes an aesthetic choice rather than a necessity. Physics; what goes up, might come down if you want it to. Yet the possibilities are not endless if you want a virtual space to be successful: the remaining constraints, other than any technical limitations, are formed by people’s expectations. And discovering what those are, and how they vary, is going to be interesting. (I’m going to predict that 3d blinking text won’t be popular!)

You will see more about this as we want to share what we are finding, what works, what does not. @sered This metaverse is very focused on us learning and understanding how far things can be taken to engage with a corporate audience and the internal services and systems.

Is there more, public information on IBM Metaverse? Or can we expect this anytime soon? Tnx! Sered These sneak peeks are teasing indeed. Is there more, public information on IBM Metaverse?
