Tired of the grind? Want to travel the world, see amazing things, and become a new person? Experts believe that you will soon be able to live a happy life in the metaverse.
Melanie Subin, the director of consulting for the Future Today Institute, told The New York Post she believes a large proportion of people will be in the metaverse by 2030. She believes that it will play a bigger role for other people.
Subin said that many people will live the majority of their waking hours in a virtual world.
The killer is the phone.
As part of society's slow decline into a cyberpunk digital world, some experts predict that augmented and virtual reality will become vastly more prevalent in the near future.
Patrick Cozzi, CEO of 3D software startup Cesium, told the Post that augmented reality may be as pervasive as smart phones today. He believes that products like Facebook's headsets could one day replace cell phones.
We are still a long way off from that, and even the 2030 prediction is likely too ambitious. Anyone who has ever worn a product for more than half an hour can attest to the fact that metaverse technologies are still woefully archaic.
While some companies are jumping onto the metaverse train in a big way, the technology is still fairly unrefined and limited to a relatively small number of use cases.
Subin admits that a fully-realized metaverse like "Ready Player One" or "Neuromancer" is likely far off into the future, saying that if "you're asking when we'll all be running around like Neo in the Matrix, I think we're wrong
The New York Post reported that experts predict life in 2030.
