I just watched Biggie Smalls perform 'live' in the metaverse

Holograms, however, are inherently limited. They require audiences to sit at a specific angle to get the illusion of the artist performing in 3D. The metaverse offers a way for people to see a more lifelike avatar and even potentially interact with it--something the team behind Smalls's gig hopes to be able to offer in the near future. What's remarkable about Smalls's performance on Friday was the realism. His moves, mannerisms, and facial expressions were stunningly lifelike.
