### 2022 Predictions

#### Notes

**jin predictions**:
- 2021 growth was unpredictable
- 2022 narrative is becoming more abt interoperability
- We will see avatars be able to be taken across worlds easily
- i.e. meebits in cv
- Big year for VR. More ppl exploring virtual worlds so it will be taken more seriously
- Seeing smth like cv in vr is way different
- NFTs feel more tangible in virtual worlds
- Gaming is gonna be more of a thing w/ NFTs. Lots of bad approaches already from companies and bad takes from mainstream commentary
- i.e. ubisoft
- More 3d NFTs in general
- metamundo specializes in interop
- both high/low poly versions
- add future formats for compatibility
- more sandbox environments where ppl play around w stuff :3
- 100k concurrent users in social VR
- was maybe above 80k in vrchat NYE
- better hardware
- better wrist trackers that allow u to animate avatars without putting on a vr headset
- snap lense filters
- up to the webxr community to show the way of how projects to integrate w/ blockchain in a beneficial way
- spring

**questions**:
- you actually don't want interop between platforms? do these claims have merit?
- coming from AAA devs. the incentives don't align for making assets interoperable
- they don't pay attention to things like gltf and vrm. most game engines don't have native support yet
- they're always trying to find the flaws but it's pure cope tbh
- should assets navigate through diff blockchains?
- ability to transfer game states / assets across chains 2022
- vitalik posted a blog post where he was worried abt confluence between blockchains
- huge increase in VR/AR headset shipments in 2022
- some kinda headset will come out that becomes a catalyst for vr adoption, right now we're in dial up phase
- this decade will be about building the metaverse
- which metaverse is going to take over?
- when you can create inside of a metaverse, it's easier to onboard a lot of people that want to graduate into more advanced and open platforms.
- meta will onboard people into metaverse like coinbase did to crypto
- more minecraft mods
- more conversion tools for converting filetypes
