DW (English)

A Czech metaverse platform is developing a way for users to live on as avatars after death. User data collected during virtual reality sessions will help to create the basis for the avatar.

00:00In the blockchain-based metaverse, sensitive data is to be stored locally on users' computers.

00:06That way, everyone can ensure their own security.

00:10But the feature that would allow for data capture in the metaverse isn't activated yet,

00:15and interactions quickly show the model's limits.

00:18Hello?

00:19Hey there, how are you doing?

00:24Dear A.R.

00:25Today, your words reach out across the ether, bridging worlds with a simple inquiry.

00:29Listen, listen, can you be, can you answer a little shorter, please?

00:34I would really appreciate that.

00:37You have to be nice to A.I., because you never know what they do with you.

00:41Not very convincing so far, but work on combining A.I. and VR is ongoing.

00:47The most difficult part is connecting the A.I. with Somnium, because there's a lot of

00:53things that the Somnium client needs to do, with VR, tracking everything, converting it

01:00to data, and then sending it to the algorithm, processing it there, and then sending it back.

01:05That connection between these two worlds is very complicated.

01:09Somnium Space requires an annual subscription fee.

01:12The upcoming Live Forever feature will also see something similar.

01:18The Live Forever mode, for me, would be an extension of my consciousness throughout infinity.

01:26It's like leaving behind a family album or something, but I don't think anybody would

01:31look at it.

01:32Once you're gone, you're gone, you know?
