Hi ,
Ever since Facebook rebranded itself as Meta, the term “metaverse” has entered everyone’s vocabulary, but there’s still a lot of
confusion about what it actually is and how it's likely to affect our lives in the future.
In the first episode of Value Driven Data Science for 2023, I'm joined by Romeo Cabrera Arévalo, a senior AI and computer vision researcher and engineer at Immersed, “the world’s first professional metaverse,” to answer these questions and
more.
Some of the things we discuss in this episode include:
- What is the metaverse and why should people care?
- The difference between virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality.
- The potential benefits of immersive technologies, both now and in the future.
- The role of AI, data science and machine
learning in the metaverse.
- The types of algorithms and techniques that go into building metaverse technologies.
- The "uncanny valley" and the challenge of giving avatars legs in the metaverse.
