| NOTAS: | "Following a one-year research process, three one-day workshops in Paris and Brussels (the now famous "Metaverse Dialogues"), and meetings and discussions with over 50 international experts from a variety of backgrounds, Renaissance Numérique publishes today its report "Governing the Metaverse and the tomorrow's internet". The Metaverse will probably never exist. Metaverses will. The Metaverse, as a universe of interoperable digital worlds and environments, enabling an unlimited number of people to enjoy immersive, collective, and synchronised experiences, seems hardly feasible today. And undoubtedly undesirable, given the environmental resources required, for possible uses that currently offer little added value compared with those that already exist. However, billions of interactions in immersive worlds, particularly video games, take place every day. These foreshadow emerging metaverses, whether or not they are proprietary or centralised, but probably limited in their interoperability and synchronicity." |
