Why Do We Need to Commute in the Metaverse?

Read Original

This article critiques the design choice in many metaverse platforms that forces users to simulate real-world travel (like walking or taking a train) between virtual experiences. It argues that this friction is unnecessary and inefficient, advocating instead for a web-like model of instant teleportation via clicks. The piece explores the implications of this design philosophy on concepts like virtual land value and user immersion.
