What is the Metaverse?
Despite everyone talking about it, this question never ceases to exist. Every panel discussion on the metaverse starts with how it can be defined.

"It's GPUs, it's extended reality, it's virtual reality, it's Web3 and the magic pixie dust-artificial intelligence and machine learning, which makes everything magical... When you put these potentially disruptive technologies together, the interesting stuff is going to happen," he said.

Gownder suggested that metaverse technology vendors need to be focused on the nuts and bolts of business fundamentals in An image cr in photoreal 2023.
