Metaverse App Stores

One of the challenges of writing a book on emerging technology, like The Metaverse Handbook, is that by the time it’s published several new advances arise that aren’t in the book. That’s why I focused more on the philosophy and core principles guiding the metaverse. And through Everydays.WTF I will continue to update metaverse advances in real-time.

This is the second installment of my series of notes on Metaverse Builders: The Companies Driving Metaverse Innovation.

Yesterday I covered 70 Ways to Experience the Metaverse. Today, we’re going into Metaverse Discovery Platforms. These companies and platforms make it easier to discover new metaverse apps, experiences, and innovations. Think of them as Metaverse App Stores that help you find the metaverse for you.
