CHAPTER

The Future of the Metaverse

Tim swiney: I think the metaverse will be a lot larger than that so it's going to be interesting. The real core challenge is for every engine right now which nobody's really solved fully are being able to serve gigantic open worlds with an unbounded number of participants playing together without any visible boundaries between them. Fort Knight is 10 million peak concurrent users but divide it up into 100 players each and in 100,000 sessions uh what we want is one world with 10 million players in it all at once and a huge you know procedurally generated world that we can render and stream. We've been pushing photo realism so fast i'm thinking like it might not take five years um
