Highlights
- But “immersion” doesn’t have to mean entering cyberspace. You can get lo-fi immersion if these qualities get across:
a persistent world – this exists even when you aren’t there.
place – a sense that I am somewhere other than the chair I’m sitting in right now.
shared objects – everyone here is seeing and interacting with the same things.
- The web isn’t how systems are typically architected. So we can’t take it for granted that we’ll end up with a small-m metaverse – a distributed network of interconnected metaverses, sharing identity and an economy but otherwise independently immersive. If that’s what we want, we’ll have to work for it.
