‘Connected 3D virtual worlds will get highly nuanced.
Those are the trends that are going to determine the world that we live in, but also the jobs of the future”įinally, The Metaverse Insider asked Charlie Fink how he would describe the metaverse in the next ten years:
CHARLIE FINK MOVIE
We’re certainly seeing it in Hollywood, where game and movie production techniques are combined. “I think what we see here with the metaverse is the gamification, if you will, of the internet. With the pandemic, Charlie Fink mentions how the gaming industry grabbed the bull by the horns: In the light of new technology, many families have experienced changes in their relationships smartphones and games have allowed people to be infinitely available yet rarely fully present. Although, I am convinced that the next Steven Spielberg will be a world builder.” We have no DW Griffith making entertainment. “Oculus is our first online service, but there’s no Google. Without having adequate online services aside from Oculus, Charlie Fink states that we need more: The crypto transaction fee is too high.”īeing in the early stages of the metaverse, it is easy to say we are in the year 1993 of the internet. However, Fink emphasizes that this “ is not a done deal.” With the abundance of companies like Visa, which are all up in this business – they are most likely going to win the situation “Visa has the edge over cryptocurrency. Much discussion has concerned using cryptocurrency as a currency for the metaverse. The goal of decentralization is a good thing, but it would have a very high price that I suspect most people don’t want to pay”. “Connected virtual worlds may want centralization the same way cable channel ownership wants centralization. With Charlie Fink stating that these arguments are irrelevant in the long-term, a greater emphasis is placed on decentralization is this really what the concept of 3D connected virtual worlds need? Certainly, we’re not going to be calling it the metaverse in 10 years, any more than we call the internet the worldwide web.” I hate it when people use appropriate language for their purposes. “ Everybody is calling the metaverse web3 because they don’t want to say Meta, and they’re not talking about decentralized apps – That’s one thing that I find annoying. With there being significant friction surrounding VR in this space, Charlie Fink also discusses his thoughts on the interchangeable terminology of the metaverse: It continues to have problems – fast-paced games and things that have even the slightest bit of latency can affect us.” The VR from Ready Player One isn’t necessarily going to be that great. “The locomotion issue is real, and everybody worldwide will not be on a virtual treadmill. “ While VR may offer a compelling way to view these 3D worlds, it will not be the primary way, and 320 million Fortnite players say so.”Ĭharlie Fink further addresses that with Mark Zuckerberg building the Oasis from Ready Player One, there is no reason that this will not succeed to some degree. By a common definition of the metaverse comprising of “ 3D virtual connected 3D virtual worlds ”, we are left to contemplate the current need for VR: With Facebook’s rebranding to Meta and acquisition of Oculus, Charlie Fink speculates whether the hype surrounding a VR-orientated metaverse would otherwise still be present.
