Exploring Logging on to the Metaverse

-- Log on to X --

We are exploring the domain of 'logging on'. We firmly believe the time has come to reset our thinking as members of society how we appreciate and make use of connectivity. What is 'identity'?, What is 'person data ownership'?, What is a 'speech interface'? What is 'smart human aware AI'? Currently, we are researching 'Authentication', 'Access Codes' and 'Teaching a chat bot'. We are also diving into the domain of 'AI and Ethics'. 

Another question which is popping up is 'How to preferably log on to the Metaverse?', So we are on that too;)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaverse

‘In futurism and science fiction, the metaverse is a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal and immersive virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets. In colloquial use, a metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection.’
