Maybe it's always been here, perhaps it's just another abstraction or simulation of a perceived reality. One could say that MUD systems are metaverses(metaversi?)
What I would like to see are more decentralized simulation systems with extensive accessibility features

#4I was wondering recently if it might be possible with today's GPU hardware to create a Minecraft-like world with similar dynamics but with fully simulated physics across the entire world. In Minecraft terms this would be a global simulation "tick" that allowed things like gravity to work, more sophisticated creature behaviors to play out globally, etc.

#5It's Croquet. Which was Alan Kay building the metaverse -- as a mere stepping stone to his real goal which always was to build the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer from The Diamond Age.

The neosvr team is doing just that with the open source bepu physics engine :D

#8There is a lesser-known part of Minecraft already used by educators:

This is the kind of product I hope for with the Metaverse but will probably never see.

Multiplayer virtual worlds have been with us since the beginning. I think there was a multiplayer high fantasy package for the PDP series of minicomputers?
There's a concerted push to foist this buzzword on us either way.
