Metaverse’s Creator Takes a Critical Look

⊲ The Register ⊳ Neal Stephenson, the author who coined “metaverse,” argues that the future of immersive environments does not rely on head-mounted displays, as evidenced by Meta’s costly failure in this space. He suggests that smartphones will continue to dominate due to their social visibility, unlike VR headsets, which can feel intrusive. Stephenson believes the metaverse has evolved into multiplayer gaming, with titles like Fortnite succeeding due to their narrative structure. He posits that future advancements in virtual environments will come from smaller, dedicated teams rather than large-scale investments.
