No code metaverse building platforms

Abstract

The Metaverse Has a Content Problem If the internet is a reservoir, the biggest source of incoming water is user generated content (UGC). One would assume (as do the big players in the space) that this dynamic will continue as the internet becomes more sophisticated and new technologies emerge. But as with all things technological, it’s more complicated than that. And while the promise of a turbocharged internet, complete with metaverses and 3D virtual reality, is cause for justified excitement, an enormous UGC problem at the heart of it threatens to hobble this emerging frontier. Will engineers and coders break through this wall before the internet - and its 5,000,000,000 users - crash into it? UGC is the lifeblood of social media platforms, and has changed the way we consume and create content, and interact with the internet as a whole. UGC gives creators the ability to present uniquely honest and emotional stories, offering perspectives that are free of the biases and constraints of traditional media creators like news agencies, government departments, etc. As a tool for business, it can enable brands to organically market their products (like Coke’s ‘Share a Coke’ campaign). As a tool for human empowerment, UGC can also play a part in fighting tyranny or getting news out of warzones. Consider the critical role it played as the world witnessed the Arab Spring over a decade ago, and the invasion of Ukraine currently. The role and value of UGC in the web as we experience it now cannot be overstated. But what will it look like as we move into web 3.0, and into an internet defined by the metaverse?


What you'll learn?
The fundamentals of the metaverse and it's (somewhat optional) tie to the blockchain. The struggles in metaverse adoption. Why no-code functionality matters now more than ever, and why enterprises should care about the metaverse.
