Has to be with standard web tools, no VR, AR etc.
Do you have any ideas about how that could be approached from a web perspective?
I have worked a bit with this. I intended to start with doing it as a MUD. I had second thought as to my implementation, so I have left it over the summer, but was about to start up again. I would simplify my architecture a bit.
The core of this is a messaging protocol, which I believe is already useful. Then you could store your avatar and keys in ipns and use that to log into and gain access to rooms. (Adding VR or whatever on to would be trivial).
My error was to send messages over pubsub, but I believe I should do it over normal streams instead.

Thanks, I suppose I just don’t accept the official definition of metaverse in general. For me any game is already a metaverse without the need for VR/AR etc.
I use pubsub for all my simulations/games here:
In a sense, I guess. I just don’t dind the metaverse to really exist yet. How are you supposed to “be Neo” when you can’t access the spurce code, right? So the first manner of getting anywhere would have to be to store the code in a generally available format. If we have a procotol as simple as HTTP and if it’s as easy to write code to be launched as it was to write “homepages” and if it was in an environment as easily accessible as lambdamoo, then maybe people would write their own little worlds or rooms or software.
The client could be an IPFS client running in a webbrowser, think telnet client, which loads in “rooms”. Anyone should be able to realtively easily customise their environment, which would effectively be running in their browser.
I find that cool.

Interesting thoughts about accessibility and mass adoption. It is yet to be seen if ipfs:// will become native in browsers, I hope so. The other thing is a search engine. I have asked IPFS about it in the past in the sense of having it built-in with an opt-in functionality since none of the 3rd party efforts succeeded.
I think we are a little stagnant at the moment until the above happens. We don’t have a single p2p app that is globally widespread and popular.
