Meta's Metaverse explained - Part 1 - What is it?
Premiered November 2, 2021
Eric HawkinsonI have been working in immersive technology for over ten years now, I have been mostly super excited about its role in claiming human potential. So I should be excited to see billions of dollars and a firm commitment planted on realizing the technology from Meta(Facebook)? No, instead I am left more concerned than ever. And I feel the need more than ever to speak out about why.

Meta's Metaverse Explained - Part 2 - Incentives and Business Models
Premiered November 4, 2021
Eric HawkinsonOne of the things that perhaps made me feel a bit ickky about the recent news of Meta is the lack of signals around anything changing around the current business models from the company and the incentives those models promote. Selling attention, collecting and exploiting data, and advertising as it is done on the host of Facebook apps brought into immersive media I think have the potential to greatly exacerbate many of the harmful issues we are seeing today.
In this video I take a look at these incentives and give some research and ideas about how these current behaviors might play out when AR/VR/MR tech is more widely used.

Meta's Metaverse Explained - Part 3 - Signals for the new direction
November 6, 2021
Signals are useful for people who are trying to anticipate a highly uncertain future. They tend to capture emergent phenomenon sooner than traditional social science methods. Unlike trends, they turn our attention to possible innovations before they become obvious.
In this video I try to wrap up this short series by taking some signals from Facebook, Oculus, and Mark's Meta Keynote to see how my concerns for Meta's Metaverse might unfold, from testing advertising in VR to changes in the terms of service.
