MS Flight Simulator 2024: The New Metaverse?
GamesBeat | Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 harnesses cloud computing to create a highly detailed, realistic simulation of Earth. Jorg Neumann, head of the project, explains how shifting computing to the cloud drastically reduces local data requirements, enhancing the game’s performance. The game builds on photogrammetry and real-time data to offer a “digital twin” of the Earth, blending aviation training with entertainment. Its world, with 1.5 billion buildings and 3 trillion trees, rivals early metaverse visions, indicating that the metaverse continues to evolve within niche applications.
