    What sort of jobs will exist in the Metaverse? Guest: OMI/Jesse

    Today we're joined by the co-chair of the open metaverse interoperability group (https://omigroup.org/) to talk about what sort of jobs will exist in the metaverse. What will work look like? How can we prepare for that future? 

    Before I jump in I'd like to do a quick synopsis of the situation at hand. 

    As we speak, crypto and the concept of the metaverse have merged to create an enormous hype cycle beyond anyone's expectations. Everyone's excited about a new creative economy in which people will be rewarded for their work. Part of what people are excited about is the idea of breaking free from today's gatekeepers. 

    With the stage set let's jump right into this episode. 

    1. Virtual clothing designer

    Set up a store in the metaverse and design clothing to help people customize their avatar.

    Start today by learning modeling in Blender.


    2. Virtual experience designer

    Design interesting interactive experiences which people can engage in together for a small fee.

    Start today by building games in a platform like Core Games.


    3. Metaverse influencer

    Are you well known on metaverse radio 1 or do your virtual memories attract thousands of viewers? Work with brands to engage potential customers through product placement.


    What do I mean by virtual memories? In the future I believe that you will be able to record the movements within a digital space for later viewing. Just imagine popping down a 3D camera near a digital shopping mall in a virtual space and then doing a Christmas flash mob. People could then play back this memory and walk through it as if they were there in real time.

    Team up with people to start a YouTube channel on a roleplay game.


    4. Virtual tourism service

    All the new technology is overwhelming for some people and there's lots of room for people to be the ambassadors of the new digital reality.

    You will charge a small fee to introduce people to a whole new world.

    You could probably start this right away! Make a post on this subreddit.


    5. Virtual architect

    Help construct the digital living spaces of the future.

    Get an architecture degree or start building homes in games like Ylands.

    How to get involved now:

    Game development is the language of the Metaverse. Those who understand game dev principles will lead the way in creating its future. If you’d like to get involved in building the Metaverse check out the Discord here: https://ocem.cc/socials

    Today I'm going to be taking a stab at the heart of crypto. I'll be challenging the very idea that the blockchain should be any part of the Web3 revolution by talking about the misconceptions around decentralized architecture and trust.

    Not financial advise.

  • Introduction to the Metaverse

    Introduction to the Metaverse
    Feb 13 2022
    ocem.cc/learnmoreIn future episodes of this podcast will be talking to industry leaders in the metaverse space about their vision for the metaverse. Before we get into the meat and bones of it however I’d like to set the stage. There's a lot of confusion about what the metaverse even is, especially as products the world over are presenting themselves as the metaverse. So what really is the metaverse? Where did the idea begin? And what sort of potential does the space have? Second LifeWith all the hype around today's virtual worlds it's easy to think that the Metaverse is a brand new concept, however, it’s been the dream of passionate enthusiasts for decades.Most people are unaware that second life took a really good stab at the concept more than 19 years ago.The platform was used for education, government embassies, religious events, scientific research and data visualization but was never adopted by the masses.FacebookIn my opinion today's metaverse hype has its roots in the fact that Facebook has changed its name to Meta. Blockchain: Doubling down on this trend, crypto and blockchain virtual worlds have taken the opportunity to claim they are the Metaverse. Definition: What a lot of people fail to understand is that the metaverse is not a particular virtual world, but rather a term which refers to an interoperable series of virtual worlds, which together make up the “Metaverse.” It’s a term for a new sort of internet in which people from around the world will present themselves as virtual avatars in virtual space. It's an idea that's captivated the imagination of technologists for decades now but, by-and-large, it has failed to take hold with the public. Back in the early days of second life, there was the same sort of hype, that this will be the future of how humans will communicate. Sweden for example opened an embassy in second life 15 years ago and it’s since been closed. With the metaverse having a long history of failed starts, what makes technologists believe that time, things will be different. Crypto is not the answer: First and foremost I need to mention that I'm not a big believer that many of these crypto world's provide any real value that second life did not provide. It's not like the public was direly hoping for more complexity in the technology. Many of these virtual worlds have gained notoriety as they've claimed to be the metaverse itself. They are even selling so-called metaverse-land for exorbitant prices. However, just like any webpage does not represent the whole world wide web, these worlds are just one node in an infinite series of potential worlds. Extended reality: It's unfortunate that so much hype has come just before the real revolution takes place. There's a very subtle revolution happening and it's happening a lot slower than people anticipated.With extended reality technology having had the same “hype cycle” issue the metaverse is currently having, it may even sneak up on many by surprise. As many of us have dismissed virtual reality headsets as being a tool only geeks and nerds many fundamental breakthroughs are happening that will enable a new era of spatial computing. It's my personal belief that the masses will not put a shoe box on their head to enter some Metaverse. However, I believe we're on the verge of major breakthroughs concerning augmented reality technology which will serve as the foundation for a metaverse which augments ordinary life. Where is virtual reality headsets occlude your vision, augmented reality allows you to overlay your physical space with digital information.Imagine looking at any person and object and being able to tell every feature and facet of that object or person. Augmented reality will overlay our physical reality with a plethora of detailed information. Powered by ingenious artificial intelligence, the technology will empower you to understand the physical world in a whole new way. People will play interactive games online using their hands which are tracked by cameras on their augmented reality glasses. With a single gesture, we will be in a movie theater or a concert or a fitness session or a workplace, interacting with our hands and facial expressions just as we do in physical life. It's my belief that this revolution will be so transformational, so quickly, that it up-end changing how human beings organize themselves from the ground up within 20-25 years. It's not only going to be a new industry… it's going to be a new way of thinking about what's real.Children will grow up with some of their best friends being artificially intelligent bots in the form of fluffy toys. People will invest more in their digital home then they will in their physical home. I sincerely believe that, as the industrial revolution moved us from the countryside to cities in a few generations, extended reality will move us from the physical to the virtual within a much shorter period of time. The problem: ...
