Talk 2: HOW TO ACCESS THE METAVERSE
While the full potential of the Metaverse has yet to be discovered, that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of ways to jump in and get a taste of what’s to come. For years, companies have been developing variations of their own “metaverse” environments, built around blockchain, cryptocurrency, and the global communities.
However, figuring out how to access the metaverse isn’t always simple. If you want to be one of the initial explorers discovering what the “embodied internet” could mean for the way we live and work in the years to come, you might need a little guidance.
Today, we’re going to look at exactly what you need to access various examples of “Metaverse” environments in 2022, focusing on some of the most popular options available right now.
