3.2: The 3D3C Metaverse: A New Medium Is Born
The Metaverse is described
as a three-dimensional world in which human characters spend their
time, play, work and live. A definition for the Metaverse is proposed –
3D3C: 3D for the three Dimensions of this interactive world and 3C for
Community in which people connect with one another, Creation that
allows people to express themselves and Commerce that links real
monetary value to actions in this world. This study assesses several
Metaverse phenomena as manifested in the Second Life environment:
Social structures, Griefers, commercial data, real businesses,
ceremonies and real experiences, comparing them with parallel phenomena
of World of Warfare. The Metaverse is then mapped into the conventional
course of technology development (invention, realization, excitement
and aversion, maturity and transparency), leading to the conclusion
that a new medium is born.
