The metaverse: the virtual revolution that won’t happen?
In October 2021, Mark Zuckerberg announced the advent of the metaverse, and even renamed the Facebook group Meta. Fashion brands and luxury houses were quick to announce collections, flagships and virtual experiences in this new cyberspace born of Web3. But two years on, these virtual worlds are home to a very small population, while their virtual property market is collapsing. NFTs, the virtual objects, clothes and works of art that were supposed to be the consumer goods of these universes, are already worthless, raising the question of the presence of brands in what seems doomed to remain a niche market.
It’s symbolic: on September 27, 2023, Meta organised its MetaConnect conference, dedicated to announcements linked to the virtual universe. At Meta’s Californian headquarters, a large crowd turned out to listen to Mark Zuckerberg. But in the virtual amphitheatre broadcasting the conference in Horizon Worlds, Meta’s metaverse, only around twenty avatars squeezed in to listen to the CEO. A leader who has himself turned away from the metaverse.
The metaverse is a world of near-endless potential, albeit a virtual one, and many innovators are finding new ways to use this technology. One of those innovators is Sansar, a social virtual reality/metaverse platform that enables users to embark on their next great virtual adventure.
While many have seen the metaverse and the technology that supports it — like virtual reality and augmented reality (AR/VR) — primarily through the lens of entertainment, the implications of this technology are far more wide-reaching. It’s not just games or even gamified exercises. With recent technological developments, the metaverse has established itself as the future of both leisure and work, giving users a tremendous opportunity to connect and explore in a virtual world.
When you consider just how quickly things move in the metaverse, it’s a wonder that anyone can keep up with all the news and product launches, let alone the constant influx of incredible artwork.
All things considered, it raises an important question: how can you efficiently discover the best upcoming art collections?
For the answer, look no further! I’ve scoured the metaverse to uncover the drops you simply can’t afford to overlook so you can focus on elevating your collection instead of endlessly scrolling through X and Discord.
