Update of decentralized metaverse architecture post

This Metaverse is going to be far more pervasive and powerful than anything else. If one central company gains control of this, they will become more powerful than any government and be a god on Earth.

If the metaverse is a next generation of the Internet, it should be clearly defined // that hasn’t done yet, to make sure we’re talking same thing

Building blocks of metaverse are meta objects, an objects of any complexity, including other metaverses, data, code, etc. // mo = {}

Programming paradigms of metaverse can be similar and beyond, of course, old web tech. For example: Metaverse description language (MDL), metaverse objects specification (MOS), etc.

Decentralized metaverse should be entirely built on top of decentralized protocols and concepts without single point of power/failure.

Some exmples:

What metaverse is? Dystopia, utopia or something in between? // it’s up to us

What about markets and money?

In fact, the authors see “much of the value of the metaverse may ultimately lie not in consumer but in business applications.” Those applications may include virtual meetings, training sessions, new-product designs and providing virtual tours of homes to prospective customers.

Gartner’s Resnick pointed to a use case in which a company builds a virtual customer experience center for networking, socializing or transacting.

Actually metaverse hasn’t been built yet…

* Metaverse as a new marketing channel * The Corporate Metaverse * Web3 and decentralization * Virtual and augmented reality * More advanced avatar technology

every company will soon have a metaverse strategy as it does with the internet and social media

metaverse-as-a-service business

Like the saying “All Roads Lead to Rome,” it looks like every development in the Web3 space leads to metaverse development, which we will see in detail as we progress further.

OMA3™ STRIVES TO CREATE AN OPEN METAVERSE THAT IS:

Community run, decentralized and indexable.

Where users will be able to own and use their digital assets (e.g. NFTs), identity, and personal data in a frictionless way across multiple platforms.

Where users are in control of their assets, not platform owners.

Where ideas and services are based on the foundation of decentralization and interoperability to optimize for individual freedom, social, economic and other sustainable outcomes
