For forty years humans have dreamed of persistent virtual worlds. Today, video games and their peripherals are pushing the boundaries of digital immersion. But what will become of the Metaverse and cyberspace? And in our era of rapid and accelerating change, how can we accurately imagine and forecast future – to include both dazzling new technologies like VR and AR and wider social trends?

In this episode we take a journey into the Metaverse. Joining us for the trip are David Chalmers, Professor of Philosophy at New York University and the author of Reality Plus; Jane McGonigal, game designer, futurist and author of Imaginable; and Shaniel Ramjee, Senior Investment Manager in the International Multi Asset & Strategy team at Pictet Asset Management. The host of the conversation is Clara Bertrand, New Media Manager at the Pictet Group.
