In the future i think its not so far fetch after all to play and travel around the world while at home. the way its been described by Cyrus will actually work best for metaverse casinos than what Zuckerberg have in mind. i think this is where we can chat on the poker table and make bluffs.
Everything is in the planning stage or stage until one company shows up the real model of this metaverse, any company or country can create a concept and show the world a prototype but until we see a real one with usability then that's the time that we can say that their version is a better one, the video looks good we'll see if what we all saw in that video is very much the same on the actual model, Chinese are good in imitation but not on originality.
There are metaverse projects which are still on their planning phase and they haven't released the product on public while there are some who are already out but they still continue to develop like on what is seen on their roadmap.
For meta, formerly known as facebook I think they are still on their planning stage but they already change their name and that is meta. There's a video of them which shows their concept of metaverse and people laugh at it because the graphics looks childish and looks like it was being drawn by a kid but there is always a room for improvement. Maybe they will only shock us once the true model comes out.
