To be fair MS looks like a proof of concept, while Mark's meta looks more like a CGI trailer.

I like how the Microsoft guy calls it “metaworse”

These presentations are as souleless as a balance sheet

Work on yourself, there is no limit to what you can achieve. Trade bitcoin today and become a future millionaire. Don't let the new online money opportunity pass you by. Fortunately great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance.

Zuckerbergs animation has more expressions than the "human" one.

A digital place where everything you say is literally a data that is being processed. Your secrets shared among friends, work plans, ideas and visions. This is an eye.

I can see Microsoft focusing more on perfecting the Facebook's Horizon Workspace-like services and cater it to businesses and enterprises while Facebook focuses more on the social/entertainment side of things within the Metaverse.

I like how Mark looks like a virtual construct when he is present in person.

Microsot: here is what our avatars look and work. Mark: imagine how our avatars will look and work.

"You know I had to be the robot" "I thought I was supposed to be the robot" He knows exactly what he's doing 😂

Microsoft seems to be more focused on what can happen now, which I like. In contrast, Meta seems to focus on what *will* come in the future. For that reason, I prefer Microsoft's approach.

Microsoft looks to be several years ahead with working concepts. Facebook has a movie trailer.

Mark's avatar looks more human then the real one. Still very disturbing

Remember Facebook Event was just a trailer that mostly CGI concept trailer of the unreleased Mixed Reality Hardware. But Microsoft is purely what the actual footage.

I would love for this to be more accessible for folks who can’t move such as quadriplegics, ASL patients, etc. My dad was “quad” and lived 4 hours away from me but we would have loved to hang out in the metaverse together. That would have been such an amazing tool for him.

For me the Metaverse isnt as exciting as they make it seem to me. For me if you want to be in that type of world, you will still feel bound by your real world. For example the avatar flipping in space... she is literally sitting somewhere at home while that is happening. I dont know... Im not sold. If you cant 'feel' , 'smell' or 'taste' something in the metaverse... then its still very 2d and you are looking through a VR headset etc. Also.... why the massive push to get everyone into a 'game' themed world? Metaverse just reminds me of another social game really. I dont know... Too many thoughts in my head about this lol

"I was supposed to be the robot" Zucc The meta

Finally, playing YU-GI-OH with scenery!

Honestly, I wasn’t a believer in metaverse technology until I saw Microsoft’s take. At first it just seemed like Roblox on steroids. I think Microsoft is better suited to pull this off since they can easily tap into their hardware and software synergies. I use Teams literally everyday all day so it would be cool to have a more “real” experience where you can walk around and network somewhat naturally. Facebook created a big website.

That one from 8:00 looks so cool, I hope they will make this available for everybody

Facebook's metaverse is basically the OASIS from Ready Player One

So if I rob a bank in the “meta-verse” I get a life jail sentence in real life?

This is scary… First it was Facebook that asked to identify people ´s faces in the pictures you posted, therefore, providing this info to governments freely. Now, to finish it, they want us to teach their AI to identify not only faces, but how you think, what makes you choose this over that or how you plan for the future by making the choices you make. Scary indeed.

Mark is like giving mere conceptual presentation while MS is presenting concepts with prototype..

Someone needs to edit Tommy Wiseau into that poker game with Zuckerberg. "OH HI MARK"

I'd say Facebook's presentation feels more like a Ready Player One futuristic vision, while Microsoft feels a little more corporate and microsofty. I still hate Facebook though so whatever. Microsoft is just really bad at marketing to mainstream audiences.

I will finally be as tall as everyone else in the room. Awesome

i love how the zucc has embraced the robot meme

it is funny because there is no commentary on this video, it is just a comparison. At first glance marks presentation seems more fun and future driven, but man microsoft knows how to be professional. It is a really good presentation.

Me watching the demo: "Hey Microsoft, there's no legs or pants in the metaverse?" Microsoft: "Where we're going, we don't need legs or pants." Mark: "Ha ha ha, I'm a robot! Beeboopbeeeeep!"

Videos like this remind of how simple people are and how the right spokesperson is key to everything.

I feel there is value in the Metaverse I guess in the corporate space. If it matures where it's simple, and offers something more than what conferencing can do. I really don't feel like jumping into the metaverse in a personal context. I'm not sure if we need more technology pervading our personal lives, it just doesn't seem naturally healthy.

Remember, you will own nothing and you will be happy.

Metaverse sounds like a lot of data and machines. More money for the tech companies to create unnecessary stuff to keep people and industries to spend. Good job. I would rather walk my real dog in the real park while eating a real ice cream than spending time in this meta.

Getting closer to living in a real life black mirror episode

Can anyone explain to me why they use "joysticks" on VR instead of a glove? Is It so big of a tec problem?

"invest in companies that change the way we live." - Warren Buffet

"This is so real" as they are floating bodies without legs. Lol

Both of them look so cartoony. Need Ubisoft etc to enter this arena

Do I have to buy a new headset or my valve index compatible? I hate outdoors.

We don't need any Matrix. We don't want Skynet. They are going so too with that... What we do need are real people, with their mistakes, virtues and emotions!

5:40 if you’re video chatting whats the point if the avatar? I don’t think I want too talk to a cartoon in a business meeting

Facebook's take on it is essentially to get you to enjoy "living" in a virtual world rather than actually going out and living in the real one. I feel sorry for anyone who can't see how this is an extreme form of escapism and all for Facebook's economic gain no less.

Imagine going for shopping virtually and getting it shipped home , instead of lookin at hard to imagine photos on a webshop

"this doesn't just feel real, it is real" No. No it isn't.

I can’t feel my legs.” I said, “Bubba, they ain’t there.”

i still can't figure out how is it different from vr chat with some added corporate software

Taking data collection into a whole new level.

Waiting for Google, Apple and Huawei versions of this..

Does this mean the GPU supply chain issues have been fixed?

I like that bookstand in the back, does anyone know where to get it?

There's something about Microsoft's that feels more "real", and it's definitely more informative. Though, I don't like the idea of being in a Metaverse controlled by a huge company at all, don't get me wrong.

1:25 let me find something to wear ended up with the same, perfect!

I will create a metaverse inside the metaverse. Metametaverse.

The cup of coffee in the virtual world made me think of matrix "do you think that's air your breathing neo?"

Is it necessary to get your true image replaced by a 3D avatar or CGI thing?

Reject the term “Metaverse” to reject this change, use the word “Nexus” as a name for digital universes

I wonder how fast the storage is gonna run out so you have to continue upgrading…

What kind of computing power is needed for these?

I had a vision that all these people had made a special surprise birthday party in this big birthday world they made for me, and this just deja vu'd me to back to it. Crazy

*tear in my eyes* this is what I was born to work on

This just makes me uncomfortable and anxious.. i know they gonna force like something we can't live without but i hope everyone just ignores it

Microsoft is more targeted towards business and professional use whilst Facebook is more targeted towards the general public is what I take from this :)

Facebook's Metaverse seems way cooler, but I have a feeling that businesses will always choose Microsoft. A cool idea would be, big companies to cooperate and create one metaverse.

My favorite part of this video is when the dude said Meta Worse

OMG This with combination with 'Metahero scaners' would be awsome!!! 😲😲😲😲😲

I think Microsoft will start trying to market to businesses and then slowly transfer to gaming like the computer did.

What are tools we need to learn for Metaverse, that can be really helpful in the future...something related to e-commerce. Anyone please recommend

Finally i can pose as a white avatar and get respect from my colleagues

"Microsoft Metaworse" - Satya Nadella

Levels the play field? Are they donating the equipment to everyone so we can all log on?

This is just the start to something much greater 👀

Next: sims 5: metaverse

Is this whole thing a parody? It's like watching 1990's video game graphics in VR and making pretend it's all normal.

“Hey Jason, what I love is how our lips are out synch with speech and which coach potato really needs legs?” Let’s be honest, it’s no Icelandverse

i like how mark switch 4diffrent cloth just come back to the same one and instantly call it perfect

Something that excites me again after ATARI, Nintendo, Sega and PlayStation first generations.

If they come out with sword art online without real life killing I'm down

Where are all the ad's.

I am so excited I am 30 years old and I can't wait to see you the next 30 years How far technology has come since I was born is incredible

The feels like a prequel to the matrix movies

Mark shows what his metaverse "will look like" and "we are a long ways off" San at MSFT shows what his is actually like in action through team. I think that's all you need to know for now.

Did anybody immediately think of the digital afterlife resort "Horizen" from the series UPLOAD on Amazon when he spoke of "Horizon" & "Horizon Home"??

What !!? We can hear background audio arnt we doing this in videogames for years like just bc we put on a virtual headset dosent make it different

7:05 My avatar will be Ralph Wiggum. And I'll kick off every meeting with, 'I'm a torso.'

Microsoft guy looks good without a single hair on his head.

From What I so far seen the avatar rendering is child like cartoon character's, comparing then to a Grid that have been around over 10 years Linden Labs Second Life, when you consider that fact that majority of invasion, came from the players them selves, and not Linden Labs is amazing quality of the Avatars in this Grid, I feel that there is a lot to be learned from Linden labs Second Life Grid, and the overall Quality of the Avatar Rendering, to what I have seen so far, of this Metaverse

I got scared when he said “ bring our humanity with us” like it’s a good thing

I didn't hear a word that was said after 6:52 because I couldn't stop focusing on how weird it is that nobody has legs.

Why don't they have legs in the Metaworse? How is that even remotely normal?

When the teams work, I might enter the microsoft metaverse

I worked for JLR and Cadbury’s in Birmingham and Accenture outsourced a lot of finance jobs to India. What does that tell you about how the world works.

Sad how we have a beautiful real world but people are hyped about a virtual meta

I wish they don't add advertisements in between metaworse conversations.

Microsoft seems to be focusing on improving business'es and quality of life while Facebook wants to create its own reality

I will not be surprised that the "metaverse" would die in a fire. Because of every country isn't going to answer to one entity.

they couldn't afford to program in the legs? Or is that coming in a later DLC where you pay extra to have legs? I don't see why they don't just use an existing product like World of Warcraft.

I really don't understand how this is supposed to be seen a a revolutionary thing. Going in a 3d space with a custom avatar to meet others sound like Second Life... which came out in 2003 hardly a new concept if you ask me.

Feels like the beginning of “Ready Player one”

Thanks for this useful video. I love the metaverse and I'm looking forward to experiencing the metaverse in The Mera - DeFi Warrior
