There are many definitions & interpretations of what the Metaverse is. One thing is for certain, the Metaverse DOES NOT EXIST, yet. What I can predict is that the time looking down our screens is quickly coming to an end. How we experience content and interact digitally with other humans & objects is going to change forever. The experience is just one part of the story though. The infrastructure is getting a big upgrade & there is a parallel internet being built on top of open blockchain infrastructures enabling the creation of decentralized applications which are not controlled by single points of control & are interoperable by design. The internet of ownership is unfolding and its going to enable human beings to create, own & exchange value in unprecedented ways.

Which brings us to this week’s breakdown, kicking off with the first AR contact lenses human trial in history, Matthew Balls interpretation of the Metaverse, a glimpse at what companies are doing today which could spark the next wave of crypto adoption & the 6 Web 3 companies making Disney’s accelerators program shortlist.
