Welcome to the 100th episode of Into the Metaverse! In today’s episode, Yon welcomes Matthew Ball back to the podcast to continue their discussion on the future of the metaverse and the convergence of so many new technologies.

During their conversation Yon and Matthew dive into four of the major themes and categories that Matthew wanted to update with the second edition of his book which includes crypto currency, head mounted displays, artificial intelligence and the two frames of convergence. Then they spend the second half of the conversation diving into the potential of Roblox and why it is still so underestimated.

Ball is eponymous for his writings on the evolution of the media landscape and the metaverse with his award-winning best-selling book, The Metaverse: Building the Spatial Internet. A second, updated edition of the book was released earlier this summer, which you can purchase now on Amazon, or visit here for more info and purchase options.
