The Dream of the Metaverse Is Still Alive

A few years back I wrote about what I called the Smart Open Metaverse, which was my attempt to sketch out what a genuinely open, onchain virtual world paradigm might look like.

It was a reasonable approximation for the time, sure. Though in retrospect it was also a partial map that was heavy on the transactional and virtual reality layers and light on what would exist around them.

Yet recently someone provided a far better and more encompassing framework. That's because last week Jarlan Perez, the Design Director at Yuga Labs, posted his conception of this space: the Immersive Computing Stack.
