  12. 0:32just this
  13. 0:33uh crazy notion that maybe the metaverse
  14. 0:36isn't real you know you look at
  15. 0:38companies like facebook slash meta who's
  16. 0:41stock is plummeting like crazy because
  17. 0:44they basically over invested in the
  18. 0:47technology little too soon uh but
  19. 0:51I mean it's all relative you know when
  20. 0:54we were asked to Define what multimedia
  21. 0:57is for
  22. 0:58um a workstation company I was working
  23. 1:00for you know we couldn't really Define
  24. 1:02what multimedia is all about but just
  25. 1:05like the metaverse you know what do you
  26. 1:06what what is the metaverse who's who you

  32. 1:22to you know just doing the easy thing
  33. 1:25and and uh looking at what the metaverse
  34. 1:28should be which is you know what does
  35. 1:30the consumer need what do what what what
  36. 1:32do you or I need to make our lives uh
  37. 1:36with a better experience and really
  38. 1:39that's all what it's all about
  39. 1:42um you know the technology is changing
  40. 1:45obviously
  41. 1:46um but we'll we'll delve into it a
  42. 1:48little a little deeper in terms of how
  43. 1:50these uh you know our world of you know
  44. 1:53the way we we experience or play uh in
  45. 1:56uh today and as well as maybe in the
  46. 1:58future
  47. 2:05okay so I got this
  48. 2:08image from augray.com and you know what
  49. 2:12is the evolution of game you know we
  50. 2:14talked about knuckle bones and using
  51. 2:17Stones as as implements to our games to
  52. 2:20playing some simple games like Checkers
  53. 2:23or even before that you could play
  54. 2:24moncolo or uh you know or or we we
  55. 2:28talked about the games that uh you know
  56. 2:30Egyptians played and so forth right
  57. 2:33we have you know board games which I
  58. 2:36hope you folks are still playing uh
  59. 2:39having a physical object in your hands
  60. 2:40as well as moving pieces with your hands
  61. 2:43it's it's you know there's something
  62. 2:45tacti physical that that that that makes
  63. 2:47the game
  64. 2:49um fun but you know nowadays we have
  65. 2:51video games and our tactile is is either
  66. 2:54the keyboard mouse or a a game
  67. 2:57controller right
  68. 3:00um you know so so these are you know
  69. 3:03this Evolution uh you know going to uh
  70. 3:07desktop PCS to game consoles to mobile
  71. 3:11devices to tablets I'm constantly
  72. 3:14playing Clash of Clans on my on my
  73. 3:17tablet every day uh being in Legends
  74. 3:20league so I have to attack eight times a
  75. 3:22day
  76. 3:24um three minutes each attack kind of
  77. 3:26thing right
  78. 3:27um
  79. 3:29to virtual reality and augmented reality
  80. 3:33type games uh you know uh I've got I've
  81. 3:38got a
  82. 3:39a meta quest uh VR headset and uh as
  83. 3:45well as a Microsoft hololens
  84. 3:48and you know the the way you play these
  85. 3:51games is changing drastically and I and
  86. 3:53how the uh these Technologies are are
  87. 3:58evolving our game you know we're we're
  88. 4:00looking at it uh even deeper in the
  89. 4:03sense that the metaverse
  90. 4:05um with the uh I guess a way to look at
  91. 4:08it is the next generation of the
  92. 4:10internet is going to evolve our games
  93. 4:15so the metaverse was first defined by
  94. 4:18this book called snow crash written by
  95. 4:20Neil Stevens and we talked about this uh
  96. 4:22previously
  97. 4:23um and it's basically you know the
  98. 4:25metaverse is where humans interact with
  99. 4:27each other as avatars in Virtual space
  100. 4:29and in this book you uh either show up
  101. 4:33at a at a internet cafe in a terminal or
  102. 4:37you own a virtual reality headset
  103. 4:40and uh you know how the the world plays
  104. 4:45out it's it's actually this is a really
  105. 4:46good book I would suggest you reading it
  106. 4:49um and then you know this this book was
  107. 4:51written in 1992 and he called it a
  108. 4:54metaverse and that's how we got the term
  109. 4:56metaverse
  110. 4:58um but this human interaction and
  111. 5:00experience is exactly what we Define
  112. 5:02today in terms of uh what companies like
  113. 5:06Microsoft and Nvidia and and uh meta are
  114. 5:10are we you know
  115. 5:13defining their companies to to work in
  116. 5:16this world
  117. 5:18already player one is an excellent movie
  118. 5:21to watch I think it's uh produced by you
  119. 5:24know it's Steven Spielberg's uh and so
  120. 5:28you know the the virtual world in here
  121. 5:31is called The Oasis and
  122. 5:34um not to give away too much but uh a
  123. 5:37person is going to uh basically own the
  124. 5:40Oasis if they can figure out uh
  125. 5:43something
  126. 5:44and the whole premise is how these
  127. 5:48people are going to try to figure out
  128. 5:50what this is
  129. 5:52um but essentially it's the same thing
  130. 5:54it's it's this virtual space or virtual
  131. 5:57world that you know here I guess in this
  132. 5:59picture of this person or protagonist
  133. 6:02putting having uh the VR glasses that he
  134. 6:05puts on on so forth right
  135. 6:08and again this came out in 2018
  136. 6:12um but you know
  137. 6:142020 is when this metaverse uh I you
  138. 6:18know sort of changed during the pandemic
  139. 6:21happened uh you know for for it to be
  140. 6:25you know uh changing the world that the
  141. 6:28real world and economy
  142. 6:31[Music]
  143. 6:31um
  144. 6:32so our games that we have today that
  145. 6:35we've talked about in the past are like
  146. 6:36fortnite and Minecraft
  147. 6:38um where you can create a virtual world
  148. 6:41yourself you know you can pick up
  149. 6:43fortnite and go uh to fortnite creative
  150. 6:46and in on your own Island you can you
  151. 6:49can create your own
  152. 6:51uh game that people can join in and play
  153. 6:55um
  154. 6:55they're fortnite creative Minecraft's
  155. 6:58the same sort of thing where you you
  156. 7:00create these experiences and uh you know
  157. 7:03have others come to play
  158. 7:06I I I'll go into more details a little
  159. 7:09bit more with this Roblox VR chat same
  160. 7:12thing where you know you you put on your
  161. 7:14your VR headset and actually you don't
  162. 7:16need to you can actually go
  163. 7:18um use use the app and
  164. 7:19[Music]
  165. 7:20um
  166. 7:21I forget which one steam maybe and and
  167. 7:24and log in without having to use a VR
  168. 7:26headset uh but uh you know it the
  169. 7:31experience is way different when you
  170. 7:32have the VR headset and and of course
  171. 7:34there's there's Grand Theft Auto where
  172. 7:36it's the same sort of thing where you
  173. 7:38can join the Grand Theft Auto World and
  174. 7:42drive around and interact with other
  175. 7:44people
  176. 7:45um you know in in in this virtual space
  177. 7:52so fortnite came in 2017 by epic games
  178. 7:57and it's interesting that epic games has
  179. 7:59uh Unreal Engine and is known for the
  180. 8:01AAA titles where their number one game
  181. 8:04is this cartoony foot
  182. 8:07um Battle Royale game that's made
  183. 8:10the company billions of dollars uh but
  184. 8:13the the premise of course is you select
  185. 8:16an avatar
  186. 8:17meet others on on an island and of
  187. 8:19course be the last person standing by
  188. 8:21defeating everybody all 99 other people
  189. 8:24but they've opened it up where we can
  190. 8:27have virtual concerts as well as uh
  191. 8:30in-game currency and purchases to to
  192. 8:32purchase skins and that's where they
  193. 8:34make the most money
  194. 8:36um
  195. 8:36so uh in 2021 uh they they got a billion
  196. 8:42dollars in fun funding just to support
  197. 8:44their their vision of what the metaverse
  198. 8:46is and then this past year 2022 they
  199. 8:50actually raised another two billion
  200. 8:51dollars again for for this concept of
  201. 8:54what the metaverse is going to be
  202. 8:57um you know so that's how big this is
  203. 8:59becoming where these companies are
  204. 9:01realizing that these game companies are
  205. 9:05uh the in the Forefront of what the
  206. 9:07internet is going to be
  207. 9:09of one of the most important things that
  208. 9:13you need to do in a metaverse is create
  209. 9:14your own avatar because that's who your
  210. 9:17persona is in uh in in a virtual space
  211. 9:21world uh and this is Kakashi Hatake from
  212. 9:26Naruto where I purchased I probably
  213. 9:28bought this a year ago or maybe actually
  214. 9:30a couple years ago maybe when it when it
  215. 9:32came out on on fortnite
  216. 9:34and he's got you know special abilities
  217. 9:37that he could have he uh he plays in in
  218. 9:40the anime but you don't you don't use
  219. 9:42any of those in in um you know the
  220. 9:45fortnite uh otherwise that would
  221. 9:47probably change the meta
  222. 9:49for it uh but Avatar is the first
  223. 9:52important thing that you need to have
  224. 9:55uh
  225. 9:56and with that Avatar you can go into a
  226. 10:00virtual concert here's one in February
  227. 10:022019 where marshmallow this is one of
  228. 10:04the earliest ones 10.7 million
  229. 10:06participants
  230. 10:08um I ran up on stage here with my with
  231. 10:10my avatar you know you know jumping
  232. 10:13around with the Avatar of marshmallow
  233. 10:15who is you know live performing which is
  234. 10:18it was really pretty incredible if I
  235. 10:19remember it was like about 10 10 15
  236. 10:21minutes long it was not that long but I
  237. 10:24was just blown away by this
  238. 10:26um I forget Pleasant Pleasant Valley I
  239. 10:28think is this where you where you had to
  240. 10:30go to
  241. 10:31um and then in 2020 uh Travis Scott had
  242. 10:34his virtual rap concert eclipsing the
  243. 10:3610.7 million to 12.3 million concurrent
  244. 10:39players so that's an amazing number of
  245. 10:41players playing one game in one virtual
  246. 10:45space or virtual world
  247. 10:49Ariana Grande same thing this is all
  248. 10:52around you know the 20 2019 time frame
  249. 10:55um you know where she had her Rift tour
  250. 10:57and uh but uh what I want to uh
  251. 11:01emphasize here is the ideas that uh what
  252. 11:05makes money for fortnite as well as
  253. 11:07Ariana Grande is these in-game purchases
  254. 11:09right using virtual bucks or V bucks and
  255. 11:13the the metaverse as well as any other
  256. 11:16type currency that people are going to
  257. 11:20use to purchase things
  258. 11:22um has to be defined and uh converted so
  259. 11:26basically there's X number of of V bucks
  260. 11:29is worth one dollar or a penny or
  261. 11:31however you know monetary uh ratio you
  262. 11:35want to use for this um I want to say a
  263. 11:37thousand V bucks is 10 bucks maybe no
  264. 11:40that sounds kind of high I forget what
  265. 11:42it is I've played fortnite and over a
  266. 11:45while now since I probably did this so
  267. 11:47probably a couple years now
  268. 11:50um but here with with your with your
  269. 11:52in-game purchasing the money that you
  270. 11:54choose to use your V bucks you can
  271. 11:55you'll get uh for 2800 V bucks you'll
  272. 11:58get the Avatar of Ariana Grande outfit
  273. 12:00and um I think at the same time there
  274. 12:03was a space one too that you could
  275. 12:05purchase and and uh even space.com you
  276. 12:09know was was advertising the you know
  277. 12:11the Ariana Grande space
  278. 12:14uh skin
  279. 12:15you can get a back back bling which is a
  280. 12:18backpack
  281. 12:20um and an emote that you can you can use
  282. 12:22to to taunt other players and so forth
  283. 12:25as well as this glider uh that you can
  284. 12:28you can carry correct that might be the
  285. 12:30glider right there
  286. 12:33um I don't I don't know but in any of
  287. 12:35that uh
  288. 12:37those are the different items that you
  289. 12:39purchase with your v-bucks that you can
  290. 12:41now use in game
  291. 12:43um not everybody has played fortnite
  292. 12:47um but if you if you've got uh you know
  293. 12:50kids even even today uh I had stopped
  294. 12:54playing and and I would talk to uh other
  295. 12:57parents who who has kids and and they're
  296. 12:59eight year olds and nine-year-olds are
  297. 13:01playing fortnite so they're getting you
  298. 13:03know brought into this this world
  299. 13:08um
  300. 13:09another example is Minecraft so fortnite
  301. 13:11Minecraft is this the metaverse same
  302. 13:15thing you can create a Minecraft world
  303. 13:17and invite friends to join in
  304. 13:19okay so uh again you need a avatar you
  305. 13:24create a world you can rent a server
  306. 13:26where uh you know players from around
  307. 13:29the world can either play on your
  308. 13:30private one where you set up only
  309. 13:33players you uh you you you allowed to
  310. 13:36join can play or open it up as a public
  311. 13:39one
  312. 13:40um
  313. 13:41so basically a Minecraft server is a
  314. 13:44metaverse
  315. 13:45as defined so you have an avatar you
  316. 13:49have
  317. 13:50um you have a world that you can go into
  318. 13:52now later on we'll talk about economy
  319. 13:55and currencies which you you go in to
  320. 13:58use to purchase things
  321. 14:00[Music]
  322. 14:00um
  323. 14:01so but in general this is sort of the
  324. 14:04the you know the the basis of what
  325. 14:06Minecraft
  326. 14:07server should have as as a metaverse
  327. 14:13VR chat is yet another one
  328. 14:16um you create an avatar again a VR chat
  329. 14:19world that people can go into and and
  330. 14:21and chat
  331. 14:23um and and congregate and uh you know I
  332. 14:26actually tried it and it was not very
  333. 14:31um I got kind of triggered by it because
  334. 14:33people in there were were you know toxic
  335. 14:36they were you know rude and and not nice
  336. 14:39and I would not have uh kids go into you
  337. 14:43know VR chat there's just it was it was
  338. 14:47really
  339. 14:48um eye-opening in terms of how how uh
  340. 14:52people change now you know uh and V you
  341. 14:56could by creating your custom avatar you
  342. 14:58can be anybody you know you can be the
  343. 15:00the you can be the Energizer Bunny
  344. 15:02inside uh you know VR chat or even in in
  345. 15:05any of the other you know um
  346. 15:09metaverse worlds okay so so you know
  347. 15:13male female you know uh gender doesn't
  348. 15:17really matter in in in this world uh
  349. 15:20just like even in Grand Theft Auto
  350. 15:23um same thing
  351. 15:26um you know but uh basically still you
  352. 15:28can you can you can have your you can
  353. 15:30create your VR chat world and and your
  354. 15:32avatar and then have other people come
  355. 15:35in and use it right 25 000 Community
  356. 15:37created worlds and growing so there's 25
  357. 15:40000 worlds that that you can join
  358. 15:44um at least the public ones
  359. 15:47I don't know if you you can actually
  360. 15:48create private VR chat rooms uh but uh
  361. 15:52hopefully there are some good ones out
  362. 15:54there I would suspect there's some good
  363. 15:55ones out there I thought this was
  364. 15:56interesting that this this DJ uh had her
  365. 16:00own
  366. 16:01um Underground
  367. 16:03uh chat room that basically playing her
  368. 16:06DJ music in it and if you like that
  369. 16:07music that you know uh emo type music
  370. 16:13um
  371. 16:14roadblocks so same thing you can go off
  372. 16:18and create your your avatar in here but
  373. 16:20more importantly you can create a Roblox
  374. 16:22place or a world and in fact
  375. 16:26um we played uh games with a bunch of my
  376. 16:28students uh playing two of them um
  377. 16:31Arsenal and uh what was the other one
  378. 16:35called
  379. 16:36um
  380. 16:36evade
  381. 16:39and uh yeah right here arsenaline evade
  382. 16:41so Arsenal is a game that somebody made
  383. 16:44or a group created uh as a first person
  384. 16:48shooter type type type world within
  385. 16:51Roblox okay so Roblox is is a Creator
  386. 16:54tool right that allows you to create any
  387. 16:57game that you might can possibly
  388. 16:59conceive and in this case Arsenal it was
  389. 17:01a lot of fun actually I liked I actually
  390. 17:03like playing Arsenal as a first person
  391. 17:05game because you can just go in and and
  392. 17:07you know
  393. 17:09um uh
  394. 17:11have conflict I'll call it that way and
  395. 17:15then if you uh get eliminated you can
  396. 17:19just go right back in you know there's
  397. 17:20no there's there's no consequences no
  398. 17:22waiting
  399. 17:24um you know if you play fortnite if you
  400. 17:27know you you you could you could hide
  401. 17:29for 20 minutes and then finally die at
  402. 17:32the end or or you can you can die almost
  403. 17:34immediately you still have to rejoin
  404. 17:36another game kind of thing and it takes
  405. 17:38takes are used to take a long while just
  406. 17:41to get back in that kind of thing
  407. 17:43um but as a first person game that was
  408. 17:45just fun to play with a bunch you know
  409. 17:48there was about a dozen of us playing
  410. 17:51um I created my own private server
  411. 17:53and this is it right here hopefully you
  412. 17:55folks can see it you know I I guess I
  413. 17:58still own it um
  414. 18:00and uh created my own private server and
  415. 18:03I paid I think five dollars a month or
  416. 18:05whatever it is to uh
  417. 18:09Robux or whatever so 100 Robux per month
  418. 18:14um that I can have you folks play if you
  419. 18:17wanted to so that's one in Arsenal as
  420. 18:20well as this other one evade and evade
  421. 18:24as a game where uh it's sort of like a I
  422. 18:27call it a horror type game where you you
  423. 18:30get uh uh basically jpegs chasing after
  424. 18:34you and you have to you have to avoid or
  425. 18:37evade
  426. 18:39um while I actually doing some other
  427. 18:40type tasks uh and and not get caught so
  428. 18:44it's it's really it was a lot of fun to
  429. 18:46play
  430. 18:47um but somebody created this and
  431. 18:50obviously this game is way different
  432. 18:52than this Arsenal game
  433. 18:55um
  434. 18:55but these are just worlds people
  435. 18:57conceive you know they create their own
  436. 18:59assets that that are going to be in this
  437. 19:02world and then publish it so that people
  438. 19:04can join or in this case they're
  439. 19:06actually making money because roadblocks
  440. 19:09is is uh is uh allowing them to make to
  441. 19:13make money
  442. 19:14um
  443. 19:15I thought this was actually interesting
  444. 19:17uh that that uh we talked about Chipotle
  445. 19:22before uh where now Chipotle uh wants to
  446. 19:26drive consumers to Chipotle
  447. 19:29um and they're creating this uh Roblox
  448. 19:32world or their Chipotle world within
  449. 19:36Roblox where you can earn uh money or
  450. 19:41Robux for for free Chipotle
  451. 19:45okay
  452. 19:46so uh this is what is happening you know
  453. 19:50you've got this uh we'll we'll let
  454. 19:53consumers use their virtual burrito
  455. 19:55building skills to earn coupons for free
  456. 19:57Chipotle food in real life
  457. 20:00it's just yet another way of having
  458. 20:03customer engagement
  459. 20:06okay and using uh I'll use it kind of
  460. 20:09loosely metaverse technology
  461. 20:12to drive more customers to their place
  462. 20:18in this case the brick and mortar where
  463. 20:20they can buy the burrito or in this case
  464. 20:21get a free burrito right
  465. 20:24on the first hundred thousand players to
  466. 20:27successfully roll a burrito will be able
  467. 20:29to earn a free Entree okay so this is uh
  468. 20:32this is was done you know in April
  469. 20:35um but it there's just a lot of this
  470. 20:38that that is happening
  471. 20:41um
  472. 20:42when it comes to using a game
  473. 20:45like Roblox and having consumers use it
  474. 20:49to uh you know in the corporate world
  475. 20:52so
  476. 20:54uh Roblox metaverse uh okay and now
  477. 20:58let's just talk about the worlds
  478. 21:00themselves so uh we that was that was uh
  479. 21:03you know basically a few different video
  480. 21:07games we'll just you know from from the
  481. 21:09original video game
  482. 21:12um definition to this metavis metaverse
  483. 21:16world uh where they are not necessarily
  484. 21:19thought of as a video game like
  485. 21:21decentral land or the sandbox or
  486. 21:24insomnium space uh but these are places
  487. 21:28where folks can actually
  488. 21:31um you know have a real world like
  489. 21:35experiences in the virtual world uh
  490. 21:38everything from
  491. 21:40you know visiting a bar say or
  492. 21:43purchasing shoes you know they can do
  493. 21:46all of this in these metaverse worlds
  494. 21:55so uh decentraland uh came available
  495. 22:00February 2020 somnium space 2021
  496. 22:04um the sandbox was here in 2012 so it's
  497. 22:06been around a long time and uh the
  498. 22:09original metaverse platform I'll call it
  499. 22:11maybe I should list it here is a second
  500. 22:13life and that was in 2003.
  501. 22:17um you know so basically these are just
  502. 22:19World experiences that people can go
  503. 22:21into and live a life in this virtual
  504. 22:25world and when I say live a life it does
  505. 22:27everything that you might uh want to do
  506. 22:29you know uh create uh you know bought
  507. 22:32purchase a house living and live live in
  508. 22:36a
  509. 22:38a uh a building that you that you can
  510. 22:42you know you you can uh uh grow uh
  511. 22:46within the term grow uh within this uh
  512. 22:51metabus metaverse world
  513. 22:54and one thing that is available is that
  514. 22:56that these are these
  515. 22:58uh metaverse platforms are free to use
  516. 23:02so you can go in there and and uh create
  517. 23:05things in in these metaverse platforms
  518. 23:08uh and do it for free
  519. 23:11um but once you you you start building
  520. 23:14things and and uh having other folks use
  521. 23:18your your uh your world it could be
  522. 23:21whatever uh say for instance you are an
  523. 23:24artist and you wanted to create a bunch
  524. 23:28of of uh digital art that you want to
  525. 23:31display in your art your Your decentral
  526. 23:34Land Art Gallery well you can go ahead
  527. 23:36and do that and then charge people to
  528. 23:39buy your art within this uh the central
  529. 23:42land space
  530. 23:44um
  531. 23:45and of course what happens is the
  532. 23:47central end will get their cut from the
  533. 23:50amount of money that you get and I've
  534. 23:52actually got uh some interesting
  535. 23:56um decentral land type type worlds that
  536. 23:59I'll be showing you
  537. 24:01uh and uh how this works is that there's
  538. 24:05uh it uses the technology of called a
  539. 24:08blockchain to ensure security of data so
  540. 24:10everything that goes into these these
  541. 24:13metaverse types platforms like the
  542. 24:16central insomnium space and sandbox is
  543. 24:19way different from fortnite uh Minecraft
  544. 24:23and Roblox in the sense that they're
  545. 24:26they use uh blockchain to make it so
  546. 24:29that they can guarantee anything that
  547. 24:31you purchase can be um
  548. 24:34uh is is yours to keep unlike Kakashi's
  549. 24:39uh a skin that I purchased in fortnite I
  550. 24:43can't I can't sell it to anybody
  551. 24:47um at least not legally I guess uh but
  552. 24:49uh you know within these worlds if you
  553. 24:52purchase something in the central land
  554. 24:54you can actually go back out to the
  555. 24:55marketplace and and sell that piece of
  556. 24:58art you purchased for a a profit
  557. 25:02um within the game
  558. 25:03so uh blockchain ensures the security of
  559. 25:06all of this now nfts guarantee the
  560. 25:09uniqueness so it may the nfts are
  561. 25:13non-fungible tokens and that allows you
  562. 25:15to go off and uh build uh a a portfolio
  563. 25:20of of digital art say that you that you
  564. 25:24own somebody could screenshot what you
  565. 25:26have but if somebody does that
  566. 25:27you can sue them
  567. 25:29um because you you you've owned uh the
  568. 25:32uh the the the the digital art you as
  569. 25:36guaranteed by the nft and put on the
  570. 25:39blockchain to ensure the security of it
  571. 25:42so uh you can move your nft to other
  572. 25:45places
  573. 25:46and it'll be the same
  574. 25:49um
  575. 25:49and you still own it
  576. 25:51cryptocurrency for economy transactions
  577. 25:54specifically uh uh ethereum uh and you
  578. 25:59can you can go on you know in in the
  579. 26:02stock market and buy ethereum for some
  580. 26:04price I can't remember it's kind of high
  581. 26:06thousands thousands of dollars uh for
  582. 26:09for one ethereum
  583. 26:11um
  584. 26:12but that gives you this is It's the
  585. 26:15currency that is used within these uh
  586. 26:18these metaverse platforms okay
  587. 26:21um it's nice thing is that it's trade up
  588. 26:23a decentralized Marketplace so you know
  589. 26:26decentralized meaning that you know you
  590. 26:28can use it anywhere within this world
  591. 26:30and it's still guaranteed that if you
  592. 26:33buy it you get to keep it and if you
  593. 26:36sell it then you make that purchase you
  594. 26:38you get the money for that
  595. 26:40um and it's guaranteed
  596. 26:42put down your cross platform VR capable
  597. 26:45but it doesn't necessarily have to be VR
  598. 26:47it could be a you know a web 3 based
  599. 26:50website that that um uses this but if
  600. 26:54you have VR uh or ar it just makes it
  601. 26:57that much more immersive with those
  602. 26:59Technologies
  603. 27:04so let's talk a little bit about
  604. 27:06decentraland.org okay so this is a uh
  605. 27:10a a place that you can you can go to
  606. 27:14um that
  607. 27:16uh
  608. 27:17it's it's free to to go to it let's see
  609. 27:20right here right create explore and
  610. 27:22trade in the first Earth ever virtual
  611. 27:24world owned by its users so everything
  612. 27:27in there is owned by whoever bought buys
  613. 27:31a piece of land in this world so welcome
  614. 27:34to decentraland
  615. 27:36um lose yourself in an amazing evolving
  616. 27:38world so explore lands owned by the
  617. 27:41users to experience incredible scenes
  618. 27:44and structures so this is what makes it
  619. 27:46uh very different than
  620. 27:49um fortnite say you know or playing
  621. 27:51Grand Theft Auto you can actually go in
  622. 27:54there and I want to say that decentral
  623. 27:56land you can buy a piece of parcel land
  624. 27:59for uh 20 256 meters by 256 meters
  625. 28:04square parcel land and then build
  626. 28:06something on it and then once you build
  627. 28:09something on that land you can sell it
  628. 28:11and people buy this land it's crazy what
  629. 28:14what people are buying and selling in
  630. 28:16the central land
  631. 28:19um so this three this is from their uh
  632. 28:22description here is a digital game that
  633. 28:24mimics reality in three-dimensional
  634. 28:26format it's user-owned ethereum based
  635. 28:30virtual reality World platform so
  636. 28:32ethereum is the uh is the crypto
  637. 28:34currency that that uses uh uh and it's
  638. 28:38open world meta versus combination of
  639. 28:40virtual reality augmented reality and
  640. 28:42the internet
  641. 28:43it allows users to be part of a shared
  642. 28:45digital experience in which they play
  643. 28:47games exchange Collectibles buy and sell
  644. 28:51digital real estate or wearables for
  645. 28:54Avatar socialize and interact with each
  646. 28:56other so
  647. 28:58um they were saying that there's uh you
  648. 29:01know they were claiming a lot more but
  649. 29:02what I can only find is that right now
  650. 29:04there's 8 000 active daily users
  651. 29:08um and you compare this with Left 4 Dead
  652. 29:102 which I actually just purchased and
  653. 29:12they have about 10 000
  654. 29:14um average daily users of this metaverse
  655. 29:18platform in this case the central land
  656. 29:21uh so but the difference here is that in
  657. 29:23Left 4 Dead you could just play the game
  658. 29:25and and leave it here if you're playing
  659. 29:28in the central land there's 8 000 of you
  660. 29:30that you can actually share with this
  661. 29:32digital experience
  662. 29:34um and sell sell where is there if you
  663. 29:36wanted to or buy land uh if you wanted
  664. 29:39to
  665. 29:44so again Minecraft Roblox fortnite you
  666. 29:48know very non-centralized that I guess
  667. 29:51the you know decentralized uh is the
  668. 29:54term so here you it's still a metaverse
  669. 29:57like
  670. 29:58environment where you create an avatar
  671. 30:00you can plan congregate in the virtual
  672. 30:02world you can build new worlds and you
  673. 30:04can purchase items right so I mentioned
  674. 30:06this Kakashi skin that I purchased you
  675. 30:09know but I can't sell it to anybody once
  676. 30:12I buy it
  677. 30:13uh fortnite Slash epic games own my
  678. 30:16money okay it's a one-way deal
  679. 30:20[Music]
  680. 30:20um
  681. 30:21which is way different than say uh the
  682. 30:24metaverse economy and transactions here
  683. 30:25where cryptocurrency and digital
  684. 30:28currency uh is used in this case
  685. 30:31ethereum which uh decentral land uses
  686. 30:34that guarantees that I can now uh if I
  687. 30:39buy a piece of land in decentral land uh
  688. 30:42I can sell it and get real money back
  689. 30:45okay so uh and ether ether is what it's
  690. 30:48called I think whatever let's let's
  691. 30:50let's say I get back one ether I can
  692. 30:53actually go into the marketplace
  693. 30:57and um and and uh I trade my ether for a
  694. 31:03dollar for for dollar bills or I I want
  695. 31:05to say it's like three thousand dollars
  696. 31:07or something uh maybe I can I can uh
  697. 31:10look it up here uh but but yeah so
  698. 31:13that's what this cryptocurrency is all
  699. 31:16about in digital currency it's it's you
  700. 31:18know you could you can use it elsewhere
  701. 31:20right if if maybe one day fortnite
  702. 31:23starts using
  703. 31:25um uh you know
  704. 31:27ethereum cryptocurrency or or Bitcoin
  705. 31:30with within fortnite then we can maybe
  706. 31:34trade my Kakashi uh
  707. 31:38um skin for something else
  708. 31:39uh yeah so but obviously
  709. 31:43um you know you could just go and buy it
  710. 31:45yourself if you want to
  711. 31:47um but it's not unique uh where if it
  712. 31:50was made unique then it would have to be
  713. 31:52stuck uh an nft has to be attached to it
  714. 31:55so that I can only there's only one
  715. 31:58kakeshi Sensei that that I owe
  716. 32:06uh so we talked about uh
  717. 32:09the cryptocurrency and the economy to uh
  718. 32:14making digital objects unique okay so
  719. 32:18that basically there's only one like it
  720. 32:20in the virtual world in any world okay
  721. 32:23so if you if you purchase this in in
  722. 32:27um
  723. 32:27on open C say or or someplace like that
  724. 32:31some one of these you know nft
  725. 32:33marketplaces you are the only one that
  726. 32:35owns this particular piece of art
  727. 32:38um some people have been making millions
  728. 32:40of dollars just creating art like this
  729. 32:43pixel art right here I forgot where I
  730. 32:45got I think I probably got it on
  731. 32:46Wikipedia
  732. 32:48um but there's basically even though I
  733. 32:50made a copy of this somebody owns the
  734. 32:52original copy of of this pixel art okay
  735. 32:55right down here
  736. 32:57nfps came out in the world as in 2012
  737. 33:02um anything non-fungible means that it
  738. 33:05is unique and cannot be replaced so by
  739. 33:07the original Mona Lisa painting no one
  740. 33:08else has that original
  741. 33:10okay so yeah you can take a picture of
  742. 33:12Mona Lisa
  743. 33:13um but the original is owned by you know
  744. 33:16I don't know it's in Louvre or something
  745. 33:18like that
  746. 33:20um but that's the sort of the example
  747. 33:22here right only one uh say one Picasso
  748. 33:27we bought an original Picasso you own
  749. 33:29that right now same thing with this
  750. 33:32pixel art you own this pixel art
  751. 33:35um and uh because the nft guarantees it
  752. 33:39and then what happens is you you put
  753. 33:41that nft on the blockchain and that that
  754. 33:44guarantees that it it it's secure
  755. 33:47so um wherever it goes within within the
  756. 33:51blockchain within the the the metaverse
  757. 33:54so
  758. 33:58um again so blockchain here is the
  759. 34:00system that securely records and stores
  760. 34:01the information and transactions right
  761. 34:04so uh from this pixel art to buying
  762. 34:09virtual shoes to
  763. 34:12uh buying uh land on the central land
  764. 34:15these uh nfts are are each each one of
  765. 34:19these uh digital objects has an nft
  766. 34:22associated with it and the blockchain is
  767. 34:25The Ledger that securely records and
  768. 34:28stores the information of these
  769. 34:29transactions okay so there's there's
  770. 34:32basically the paper trail for where
  771. 34:34these things came from and where they
  772. 34:36belong
  773. 34:37um
  774. 34:38so here the nft and ethereum is the
  775. 34:42cryptocurrency
  776. 34:43uh so very important in terms of the
  777. 34:47economy for the metaverse
  778. 34:50here's virtual art
  779. 34:52so virtual art what is it where you at
  780. 34:55some Marketplace like in the virtual
  781. 34:57Mall you go to a virtual auction in this
  782. 35:00case South B's digital art fair
  783. 35:02September 30th 2021 and you can buy this
  784. 35:05machine hallucinate hallucinations that
  785. 35:08was created by an artist and uh bought
  786. 35:11it for 3.1 million Asian
  787. 35:15um at the time for this piece of digital
  788. 35:18art
  789. 35:19okay uh just just crazy somebody bought
  790. 35:23some uh some art for 64 million dollars
  791. 35:28um
  792. 35:28but that's what you can do and and you
  793. 35:31can go on uh
  794. 35:33you know these auctions and buy the the
  795. 35:36this art and be able to play it and
  796. 35:39stand in it kind of thing
  797. 35:42um
  798. 35:43so
  799. 35:44uh here's virtual real estate and that's
  800. 35:47what we're talking about with decentral
  801. 35:49land and I think this was somnamium
  802. 35:51actually when I pulled this so you know
  803. 35:54here here's this land area that you can
  804. 35:57you if you have have your avatar that
  805. 35:59could look be like your likeness or
  806. 36:02somebody else that you want to be heck
  807. 36:04you might
  808. 36:05um if I wanted to I could look like Brad
  809. 36:06Pitt in in this world
  810. 36:09um so uh but uh you know in this virtual
  811. 36:13world you can go in here and create real
  812. 36:15estate online and then sell it
  813. 36:18as you create this land
  814. 36:21um so it's kind of kind of a cool
  815. 36:23concept
  816. 36:25um but uh is it real right now you know
  817. 36:28is it are we still in the adoptive and
  818. 36:31adoption phase I don't know you know but
  819. 36:34it certainly has gone crazy in terms of
  820. 36:36their uh importance and and money that
  821. 36:39they that that these you know companies
  822. 36:42are making with these virtual land and
  823. 36:44virtual real estate
  824. 36:46okay so uh in early 2022
  825. 36:51um
  826. 36:52104 million 105 million dollars for just
  827. 36:56four metaverse projects okay that's just
  828. 36:59for four that somebody purchased
  829. 37:02um sandbox
  830. 37:04um originally was dominating when I did
  831. 37:06this and this was like you know earlier
  832. 37:08this this year
  833. 37:10um I probably should update this but 86
  834. 37:12billion dollars in nft sales
  835. 37:15the central land is in second place okay
  836. 37:19um but it's it's it's making a
  837. 37:21difference people are buying luxury
  838. 37:23Yachts on sale I thought I saw one
  839. 37:27just the other day I think it was three
  840. 37:30million dollars somebody bought a yacht
  841. 37:31in
  842. 37:33um and uh
  843. 37:35decentral land I think it was
  844. 37:38three million dollars for digital art
  845. 37:40dig a digital yacht
  846. 37:45so here it is you know here's salmonium
  847. 37:47as an example you can go into the VR
  848. 37:49Mode live using
  849. 37:51um the the uh
  850. 37:53Oculus Quest
  851. 37:56um or a United called meta Quest I guess
  852. 37:59it is right uh so here it's open social
  853. 38:02virtual world and so forth uh it's on
  854. 38:05blockchain so everything is
  855. 38:09um you know uh guaranteed and and uh in
  856. 38:14The Ledger
  857. 38:15so and you can create your own world if
  858. 38:18you wanted to all this and insomnium
  859. 38:20space but basically it's what you can
  860. 38:23still look at it as a video game but
  861. 38:24it's beyond that you know they don't
  862. 38:26they don't say you know it's a video
  863. 38:28game because it sounds cheapening right
  864. 38:31that uh uh somebody's buying you know
  865. 38:35tens of millions of dollars in Virtual
  866. 38:38land in a video game doesn't sound too
  867. 38:41good but if you say if you call it
  868. 38:43virtual space
  869. 38:45um or virtual platform then you're
  870. 38:47buying it in uh you know that sounds a
  871. 38:51little bit better
  872. 38:53uh
  873. 38:54so your sandbox
  874. 38:5786 million in nft sales but obviously
  875. 38:59this has probably gone up since I wrote
  876. 39:01this probably should put a date in it
  877. 39:06[Music]
  878. 39:08so that's
  879. 39:09uh the platforms and then here are
  880. 39:12commercial companies here's Nike that
  881. 39:15came out uh with crypto kicks so this
  882. 39:19piece of generic Nike Dunk Genesis
  883. 39:22there's different versions of these that
  884. 39:25you that are unique just by a tiny bit
  885. 39:28that you can own and an nft guarantees
  886. 39:31that you are the only one and only
  887. 39:33digital art owner of this shoe
  888. 39:37okay so there were uh the equivalent of
  889. 39:41buying one of these shoes between four
  890. 39:44and ninety five hundred dollars per pair
  891. 39:46and the uh Marketplace was called open C
  892. 39:49is called open C uh and you can you can
  893. 39:53buy all kinds of things in there that
  894. 39:55you know the big one was that that
  895. 39:56monkey art
  896. 39:58um that uh
  897. 40:01let's see something's wrong with my
  898. 40:05look let's see I know
  899. 40:10um and uh you know there were nine
  900. 40:14thousand night Nike Dunk Genesis and
  901. 40:17she's had been sold at this time
  902. 40:20um you know I don't remember again I
  903. 40:22don't know exactly remember when uh what
  904. 40:25those were
  905. 40:26uh but uh you can go to openc right here
  906. 40:30open C and then come over here and and
  907. 40:33buy this land
  908. 40:35right here so this land is on um
  909. 40:39decentralized the decentral land
  910. 40:42and you can buy one world for 0.8999 I
  911. 40:47will not add to my cart
  912. 40:49because I that could be two thousand
  913. 40:51dollars
  914. 40:53um I don't you got I'm gonna have to
  915. 40:55look up what the exchange rate is for
  916. 40:57this ether ethereum
  917. 41:00um
  918. 41:01uh but uh you know
  919. 41:05let's see uh if I can search for a Nike
  920. 41:10uh Nike shoe on open c
  921. 41:13and uh
  922. 41:16here's Nike apparel
  923. 41:19uh Nike
  924. 41:22shoes
  925. 41:25Genesis I guess I should look for let's
  926. 41:28go
  927. 41:29dumped Genesis
  928. 41:35okay and then it's literally here they
  929. 41:37are so this uh this one sold for 21
  930. 41:40ethereum
  931. 41:42okay 1845 ethereum
  932. 41:45wow this is 45 ethereum so this is the
  933. 41:49number one
  934. 41:51um
  935. 41:52so 1.5
  936. 41:54000 one and a half that one one one
  937. 41:56thousand five hundred dollars
  938. 41:58um 1.25 so it's about a hundred dollars
  939. 42:01or I'm sorry a thousand dollars per
  940. 42:04ethereum
  941. 42:05so you can buy this if you like
  942. 42:10um and that's up to you
  943. 42:13uh but uh you can go go grab it so
  944. 42:16somebody owned it
  945. 42:18um you could probably find this
  946. 42:19particular version of it somewhere in uh
  947. 42:22open c
  948. 42:24foreign
  949. 42:25but nuts
  950. 42:30uh and nice thing is that you can at
  951. 42:33least what what it should come down to
  952. 42:35is just like you buy your you wear your
  953. 42:38Nikes in the real world
  954. 42:40you should be able to write Warrior and
  955. 42:42Nikes in the central land and uh so
  956. 42:46hopefully that's what it's going to come
  957. 42:47to but companies like like Nvidia are
  958. 42:51creating tools that allows you to be
  959. 42:53able to you know collaborate on using
  960. 42:56different types of
  961. 42:58um modeling tools hopefully it'll it'll
  962. 43:00do the same for you know I should be
  963. 43:03able to use this Nike shoe into Central
  964. 43:05land as easily as in
  965. 43:09on the insomnium say for instance uh but
  966. 43:13uh this is
  967. 43:15worth 130 000 right here I'm not you
  968. 43:19know this looks so similar to this one
  969. 43:21actually uh but who knows what the
  970. 43:24difference is this could have been the
  971. 43:26original right here
  972. 43:28um and you can but you can buy this Nike
  973. 43:31shoe instead of you know buying Nikes
  974. 43:33for 60 bucks
  975. 43:35one thousand five hundred ninety two
  976. 43:37dollars and 27 cents
  977. 43:45oh that's the metaverse uh in terms of
  978. 43:48consumers and how it's playing around in
  979. 43:50our in our world of of uh of games and
  980. 43:55and how we're how we're learning to play
  981. 43:57in in different ways now
  982. 44:00um
  983. 44:01so
  984. 44:03all right
