We’ve all heard of the metaverse - an immersive virtual world that’s a digital twin of the real world - or a bit like ‘climbing into the internet’, depending on who you talk to. But how many of us know exactly how it works?

Despite the increasingly slick headsets, the hype and bold predictions, the real potential of the metaverse is not obvious.

To help us understand the technology, we talk to Stanford University’s Jeremy Bailenson. He’s been researching the metaverse and virtual reality for decades. He started Stanford’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab and co-founded the VR-focused tech company Strivr.
