    I have registered for some of the "Metaverse Workshop" online events, received the acknowledgment e-mails, but never got the "Zoom link". What could be the problem?

    Thank you.

    It did not die, only Zuckerberg got problems with his shareholders. But this was not my question ;-)

    Metaverse in the context of Unity does not mean Metaverse in the context of things like Facebook and others were pushing, really. Unity's Metaverse approach is more digital twinning and B2B oriented, despite the meagre attempts they've made with fashion partners and the like.

    Less NFTs more reasonably practical B2B stuff.

    Made the comment in jest of Facebook and Microsoft firing their Metaverse departments and refocusing on cloning ChatGPT. But I wasn't aware of Unity's interpretation being different, thanks for the info.

    I don't think it is different. Or at least I have not seen any hard evidence of that being the case. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, of course.

    You can look at the majority of their blog posts about it to see what they're targeting.

    https://blog.unity.com/topic/metaverse

    Most of it is luxury goods, job training, archviz, different ways to promote and demo products to customers, a lot of stuff that exists well outside of VR. The stuff that falls outside of that is usually pretty lightly represented because there's no real market for it.
