A couple was married in the metaverse and some people are just complaining about the graphics Back to video
Yes, there were many who were using Zoom to attend weddings in COVID-19, but what about actually having the entire wedding take place in the metaverse, a fully immersive virtual world, with each guest being an avatar? It is evident that it is already possible.
The online reaction has been mixed. Some are thrilled with the idea, while others are pining it. Others say that similar events have been taking place for years on other platforms with more appealing graphics.
It's hard to imagine anything better. I don't think there is anything I would rather do other than sit and watch cartoons of people on a conference call. You can call it whatever you want.
Article content Traci and Dave Gagnon had their wedding in the metaverse over the labour day weekend, The New York Times reported. The couple held their in-person wedding at a golf course in New Hampshire, but also had a wedding in the virtual realm as well for family and friends who couldn't make it. Instead of an actual video conference the couple decided to have the entire ceremony take place in a virtual location. Photos from the actual wedding were broadcast in the virtual space.
The reaction to the story was swift, with Jezebel declaring in a headline: "The Metaverse might be the worst thing to ever happen to weddings." The gossip site added that this trend could make it difficult to politely decline an invitation to someone's wedding.
Article content on Twitter there were many users who disagreed that this was a new idea.
One user wrote, "This was happening 20 years ago, so why is this so significant today?"
Others claimed that the graphics in games such as Second Life and World of Warcraft were better than 15 years ago.
"Really it's hard to imagine anything more awful than anything I'd like to do less than look at the cartoons of people on the conference call," another Twitter user wrote. You can call it whatever you like.

The idea was adored by many. "A unique wedding!" What could you have imagined such a wedding before? One person wrote that the possibilities are endless. Another person pondered a metaverse wedding in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Article content The Gagnons said that having their wedding in the metaverse meant that guests could attend who wouldn't have been able to in person. The maid of honour who was sick was in a position to walk down the aisle and Dave's friend who couldn't attend because of his wife's medical conditions that predate her, was able to deliver his toast.
The metaverse that hosted the wedding was created by Virbela the company which, according to its website, "builds immersive 3D worlds for learning, work, and virtual events." With the Virbela platform, no VR headset is required, and it can be used with nearly every computer.
Gamers were not thrilled with the result.

Article content Many Twitter users posted photos of weddings that took place several years ago in the online multiplayer role-playing game Final Fantasy XIV. One user wrote "Look at how beautiful it looks."
For the Gagnons to have their wedding in the metaverse was a matter of sense since their avatars had met before they had met in person. Gaming According to The New York Times interview, the couple's avatars met at an Las Vegas company event in 2015, when they were both employed by eXp Realty, a company which is expanding into virtual work and the metaverse.
