Whether we are ready for life in virtual reality, what consequences does immersion in virtual reality and the world of digital experiences have for us, and whether the project has a chance of success are discussed by DELab UW analysts: Dr. Wojtek Hardy, Satia Rożynek and Michał Paliński, while the rhythm of the broadcast is set by Dr. Justyna Pokojska’s questions about:

- the time horizon marking the inevitable arrival of the technological progress promised by the Meta,
- the reasons why we are hearing about the Metaversum right now,
- the appeal of virtual reality,
- the GAFA conspiracy in the context of expanding markets,
- the issue we need to prepare for as users, even before we enter Facebook’s reality,
- the consequences of refusing to join the Metaversum,
- the continued existence of life outside the new reality, and whether we will reflect, for example, on the issue of privacy,
- koszty dla użytkownika,- the costs to the user,
- regulations and regulators of the new reality,
- the challenges of the Metaversum.
