Cope is a museum technologist who's worked on lots of critical digital projects over the years, and in this talk, he addresses himself to the difference between the excitement of the #GalleriesLibrariesArchivesAndMuseums (#GLAM) sector over the possibilities of the #web, and why he doesn't feel the same excitement over the #metaverse, and its various guises - #XR, #VR, #MR and #AR.
The biggest reason to be excited about the web was - and is - the openness of disintermediation.
