What's in A Metaverse? | SXSW 2022

Meta is hardly alone in the metaverse ambition. Epic Games (maker of Fortnite) previously announced they are building a metaverse. Nvidia says it is building a Metaverse for business. Who else is building - or has built - a metaverse? How shall we define it?

Take a look back at SXSW 2022 with panelists Raffaella Camera (Epic Games), Charlie Fink (Chapman University), Philip Rosedale (Linden Lab / Second Life), and Timmu Tõke (Ready Player Me).
