When Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta's focus on building a shared virtual reality inspired by the metaverse concept, many drew parallels to Second Life by Linden Lab, a once-popular online world for exploration, trade, and creation. However, despite dedicated users, Second Life has faded from public prominence.
When Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta, nee Facebook, would focus on building a shared virtual reality inspired by the fictional metaverse, many were reminded of Linden Lab's Second Life. This came to global prominence in the 2000s as an online world that users could explore, trade, and create in through avatars. (The IEEE even had its own virtual meeting space inside.) But although a dedicated group still populates Second Life, it faded from the zeitgeist.
