Second Life v2?

The company behind Second Life is already working on a VR-centric "Second Life v2", with what seems to me a more interesting vision of the metaverse than Facebook Spaces.

There's also High Fidelity, an open source, distributed VR metaverse started by the founder of the same company.

It's not called "Second Life v2" it's called Sansar.

I didn't mean that literally, although it was originally announced as "Second Life 2".

Seems more like it is heading towards the ideas behind the metaverse[0]

Not really. This is more like Messenger v2.

Second Life / High Fidelity are much closer to the ideas behind the Metaverse than this.

More like v.3... from the look of it you are not moving around much in spaces.
