There's Always Been a Metaverse
The term "Metaverse" seems to be a pretty common buzzword these days. But what does it really mean? And why are people so obsessed with metaverses, what makes them so good at whipping up frenzied fandoms? In this presentation, futurist and senior producer Sarah Brin demonstrates some of the historic lineages of expansive story worlds, and distills some key design principles for creative technology practice, world-building, and meaningful connections with audiences.
Takeaway:
- Historical precedents for metaverses. Why reinvent the wheel?
- Drawing distinctions between what's over-hyped nonsense and actual potential use cases for new technology
- Practical design tips for designing fun, social, and emergent player behaviors
