Episode 027 - The Metaverse

Steven Batiste and Kate Pohl discuss the topic of the Metaverse (OR is it Multiverse....?) in order to really understand what these terms mean! We also touch on the concepts of both Virtual and Mixed Reality that are key to understanding the Metaverse. Steven explains the origins of this new frontier and how it has developed over time. We look at Facebook, Microsoft, etc. that are developing and using the Metaverse in order to get a feel for use cases and future potential. Is Facebook - or Meta as it is now called - investing billions in the technology? Is Microsoft really planning to turn us all into cartoon characters through avatars (or is this merely a joke or a gimmick)? Will Steven Batiste become SpongeBob and Kate Pohl become Princess Leia? Please tune in and find the answers to these questions and a lot more --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-batiste/support
