In this video, Matthew Ball discusses the concept of the metaverse, which he defines as a massively-scaled and interoperable network of real-time-rendered 3D virtual worlds that can be experienced synchronously and persistently by an effectively unlimited number of users each with an individual sense of presence. The Metaverse is not just immersive virtual reality or a video game, but a combination of many different technologies. It will build iteratively on top of the internet and is understood as a fourth wave of computing and networking. Interoperability is one of the most complex and yet essential elements of the Metaverse. It effectively refers to the ability for different autonomous systems or independently-operated simulations, 3D-rendered virtual worlds, to not just talk to one another, but to do so safely and coherently.
