Sandbox Founder: The metaverse allows us to explore the human imagination
"We strongly advocate that the core of the open virtual world is decentralization, interoperability, and creator-generated content," said Sebastien Borget, founder of Sandbox.
While interest in the metaverse seems to be slowing, pioneers in the field are still working hard to advocate for an open metaverse, a decentralized and interoperable multiverse.
In an interview with Cointelegraph Brasil, Sebastien Borget, founder of the open-world blockchain game The Sandbox, shared some of his thoughts and expertise on Web3 and meta-state.
According to Borget, the metaverse is the gateway to new experiences, limited only by what users can think of. "Web 3.0 and the metacosm have made each of us explorers of the human imagination, creating new parallel universes in which we can choose the experiences we want to live," he explains. ”
The Sandbox founders also mentioned that the metaverse has begun to influence the way people "socialize, form economic relationships, and gather in communities." He believes that within a decade, there will be more development in the field.
"We envision that over the next 10 years, the metaverse will profoundly change the way we think about work, socializing, playing, and the economic and job opportunities it creates."
Borget believes that the role of the platform must be to ensure that the creative process is interesting and rewarding, and that listening to the needs of the user should be a top priority. "We created this ecosystem, but the experiences and assets that players create and share are the driving force behind it," Borget said.
In addition to this, Borget said, the governance of the metacosm must be handed over to users. This will be done through the launch of a decentralized autonomous organization with a voting mechanism.

The new fund, which will launch less than a year after Spartan announced its $110 million DeFi fund, will focus on projects built in the metacosm, particularly virtual worlds that support "digital ownership," as Choi described in an exclusive interview with The Scoop.
"We only care about metaverses or games that empower users through ownership so you can own in-game assets. You can have your character, you can own part of the game, you can share part of the value you've created for the game. We spend almost most of our time researching agreements like this and investing in teams that are building this vision. ”

KPMG: The metacosm, which includes current XR headsets, is still in its early stages of adoption
Chen Jiande, Partner, Head of Communications, Media and Technology Industry, KPMG China, said in an exclusive interview that as a systematic project, many technical ideas in the metacosm are still in the conceptual stage, and the barrel effect is obvious, which requires the joint promotion of low-level hardware, basic applications and core algorithms to achieve many applications in the metacosmity concept. For example, at this stage, the use of perception interaction devices such as XR all-in-one machines to achieve immersive virtual experiences requires hardware to solve problems such as "screen window effect" and vertigo, and the algorithm also faces the challenge of accuracy and real-time accuracy of full-body motion capture in three-dimensional space. Therefore, the metaverse, including the current XR headset device, is still in the early stage of popularization, and it is urgent to achieve breakthroughs in "killer" equipment and application technology. At the same time, technology is the lowest structure of the metaverse ecology, without the support of technology, the multi-scenario application of the metaverse and the formation of social architecture cannot be discussed. He also specifically mentioned the issue of data privacy security. "The immersive nature of the metaverse makes the amount of data it generates and uses far exceeds the previous PC era and the Internet era," Chen said, adding that with the gradual landing of the future metaverse, regulatory means need to keep pace with the times to improve the protection of personal information in the metaverse.
