Is MetaVerse actually dead, or is it still lurking in the corner? If I'm not mistaken, the military still wants gamification of war, and MetaVerse provides just that (in addition to sometimes severe motion sickness).

As much as “metaverse” is a uselessly nebulous term, I don’t think “weapons with VR” is very “metaverse-y”.

My current understanding is “The Metaverse” is a skeuomorphic 3D abstraction of group chat apps viewable in VR.

From what I can tell, AR/VR offers sophisticated coordination. It's also good for all sorts of training purposes.
