In a recent episode of the Euronews Tech Talks Podcast, the hosts ventured into Italy’s National Museum of Cinema in Turin to explore virtual reality and engage with visitors to gain insights into their experiences within the metaverse.
As they donned VR headsets, they embarked on a unique journey by immersing themselves in the second part of Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, ‘The Divine Comedy.’ Their observations led to a significant realization: a considerable number of visitors were using a VR headset for the first time, highlighting the limited familiarity of many with the metaverse.
Interestingly, the podcast also noted that, in the current metaverse landscape, a significant number of individuals are embracing the digital universe without the need for VR glasses. This includes teenagers who engage with alternative realities on platforms like Roblox and Minecraft, demonstrating that the metaverse is not solely dependent on VR equipment. It is a diverse space where users can navigate through avatars, whether they use VR headsets or not.
This episode is the culmination of a three-part series on the metaverse, providing valuable insights into the metaverse’s inhabitants and the possibilities it offers. If you are interested in learning more about the metaverse and its potential, it’s recommended to explore the previous episodes of the podcast.
