Why Immersive Virtual Reality is Essential to the Future of The Metaverse with CEO of Somnium Space - Artur Sychov

On this episode of the Welcome to the Metaverse podcast, I chat to the CEO and Founder of immersive blockchain virtual world Somnium Space - Artur Sychov. Somnium Space has a real focus on being fully immersive in virtual reality - right down to being able to feel the raindrops on your body in the world! (more on this in the conversation) It really is amazing what Artur and the team have built - I think it's the closest experience to a more positive vision of the Ready Player One type virtual experience that most people associate with the metaverse. Plus you can go and experience it right now! Artur actually joins me as an avatar from inside Somnium space for this chat, which is very cool and I’ll post some videos of that over on twitter https://www.twitter.com/MetaverseLuke if you want to watch them or reach out and say hello. ======================= This episode is sponsored by the brilliant Republic Realm who are a leader in metaverse innovation, investment, and NFTs.
