The meta verse never made sense anyway. Technology is about making stuff simpler, how is going to a virtual store inside a 3D environment simpler than going to a website? What sort of benefit does it being 3D add?
It’s just a bunch of extra overhead (both operating and using) and no one will use it. The meta verse would never evolve beyond things like VR Chat.
I think browsing in 3D is a lot more pleasant. I'd be extremely tempted to make myself a virtual library to browse my book library if the Apple Vision Pro resolution ends up being enough to make text crisp enough for comfortable reading. There's a reason I still go to physical bookstores or library on occasion to browse. It's different than scrolling a list on a page.
Friend. Nothing about technology make anything simpler. It’s all about efficiency
Fair, but I don't see how navigating a virtual three-dimensional mall is going to be more efficient than just ordering stuff online.
The up-side of visiting a real mall would be the ability to view objects, touch them, smell them, and so forth. You're also be able to purchase the object on the spot and bring it home with you. VR doesn't really offer that though. Maybe you'd get a rough idea of the size of an object but you wouldn't be able to say, try it on or smell it, and you'd still have to wait for it to be delivered to you.
Now you can have 30 virtual monitors instead of one real boring one
