Actually this is a wrong conception.
AR is not metaverse.
Metaverse is fully immersive, so 'Virtual Reality'.
AR is augmented reality, which projects things into the real world and makes them visible for your eyes.
(The opposite to virtual world).
However, you could make the argument that everything is interconnected with each other,
and that things you see & use in AR are managed by the same instances / apps / servers,
as VR.
You are wrong, let me explain to you and others what is Metaverse, note I not watch youtube videos I listen to music only, i was fixing Apple devices and have teach many people in different countries how to do it, now they are big gurus in the field and popular on youtube, they were thinking that I m Apple technician, but i m not, I m just good at tech, considering also that i have no diplomas, this is in my Genetics.
So let's dive in on this Metaverse thing, first of all AR/XR/VR/MR/Holo is just the technology for Metaverse, but metaverse itself is a virtual reality no matter what tech you use to connect with it, you can use even your PC and mobile, because the internet we use everyday is already some kind of 2D Metaverse, I see Metaverse in the future as this.
1. everyone will have a chip id in their body as a wallet and identity certificate, of course first it will be outside your body in some gadget.
2. the main tech will be AR because Metaverse will have to be interconnected with your everyday reality and the one in the Metaverse, it can't be otherwise. This is also because I said in other topic that AR is most important acronym in the world, there is a reason why i say that.
3. the glasses will have to be able to offer AR/VR/XR or other mentioned tech.
4. your real life will be interconnected/entangled with your virtual copy in the Metaverse.
That is why the Metaverse at the moment is in it's diapers state.
P.s. if someone will make Youtube videos based on this not forget to credit me, i have seen many such lazy grabbers looking for info!
P.s.s. there are only 3 basic realities and I know their true names, AR/VR/XR etc is part of the 3rd one.
