In the second episode of Reality Distortion Fields (RDFs), Elias ( @ekhnaser ) and Alessandro ( @Perilli ) ponder if the Metaverse is the ultimate reality distortion field. Some of the questions they try to answer:

- Why did Meta Workplace fail to deliver value and it's being shut down?
- Are modern collaboration suits stepping stones towards the Metaverse?
- Do we really need a Metaverse for VR and AR use cases?
- What's the true reason companies are selling the Metaverse to us?
- Is Ready Player One the only way we could build a Metaverse?
- Could generative AI accelerate the creation of a Metaverse?
