j12tThere's a tendency for people to downplay new, immature, so-far-not-well-understood ideas. I remember the grief I got back from my boss at the time in 1993/4 when I started setting up this new thing called a website. He thought it was a toy and could never be useful for anything.
petermolnarand imo it is indieweb related: IF that thing our benevolent android, aka Zuckerberg envisioned takes off, FB users - so practially most of the world - will start exploring the 3D web, and our websites will become ancient totems.
ZegnatIf VR chat is anything to go by, people are already exploring some form of 3D web. Just hasn’t really hit mainstream yet outside of Twitch/Discord spheres, from what I can tell.
