The Metaverse, in its full-fledged form, is not yet a tangible reality for most.
Despite tantalizing glimpses in science fiction and the burgeoning efforts of tech giants, it remains largely unfamiliar to the average person. This lack of awareness poses a significant problem.
The veil of Unawareness
Many people are not fully aware of the transformative potential of the Metaverse in their lives. This lack of awareness is understandable as the Metaverse is currently in its early stages, characterized by speculation, experimentation, and innovation.
Missed opportunities
The limited awareness of the mainstream population about the Metaverse results in missed opportunities for individuals to adopt new approaches to work, connection, learning, and creativity. The Metaverse has the potential to revolutionize industries, address global challenges, and provide unique experiences. However, the lack of awareness keeps these possibilities inaccessible.
It’s for the tech-giants isn’t it?
Many perceive the Metaverse as a domain reserved for tech giants due to its complexity and scale. The misconception is that building it requires immense resources. However, our vision challenges this notion, emphasizing that the Metaverse's creation is a collective endeavor accessible to all, not just industry titans.
Our Mission
We're committed to unveiling the Metaverse's mainstream benefits, demystifying its potential, and inspiring a global audience to participate in its creation.
By doing so, we aim to ensure that this transformative force doesn't remain the exclusive domain of a select few but becomes an inclusive, accessible, and empowering tool for all.
Join us on this journey to illuminate the path to the Metaverse's limitless possibilities. Together, we'll shape a future where the Metaverse becomes an integral part of our lives, revolutionising the way we connect, work, and play.
The Game
You are an amateur but gifted computer hacker and you have stumbled upon a highly protected global security organisation called the CCF that operates within the Metaverse. Just as you think you are about to gain access to its metadata, it is a trap. The organisation is on to you. They are about to catch you.
In that moment you are rescued by the Hitch Hacker Resistance. an online network of revolutionaries who recruit you...not that you have much choice... Into joining their ongoing fight for freedom.
Combining cross-genre game play, sardonic humour and playing on the many sci-fi tropes that have envisioned the metaverse as a concept over many years, this epic experience puts you in the driving seat of the fast approaching utopian/dystopian (delete as appropriate) future that awaits us alL..
The Film
This is a cutting-edge documentary about cutting edge technology. It will be an entanglement of archive footage, interviews and animated reconstructions shot using Unreal Engine, (such as was used in Star Wars ‘The Mandalorian’) using game mechanics and real time rendering to give the impression that we are in any number of real and virtual environments.
The documentary will highlight the creators, consumers, philosophers and writers. Extracting contradictory definitions and opinions all building up a picture of what the metaverse is and is not.
The tone of the film, as inferred by the title, (A nod to the late Douglas Adams who suggested the Earth was a giant computer and humans the mere by-products of its coding.) will present everything in a playful irreverent and deadpan tone where ‘The Voice Of The Metaverse’ (VOM) will provide side notes, and explore tangent storylines.
Why the metaverse, why VR and why now?

The Metaverse Market
In 2022, it was estimated that the global metaverse market stood at 65.5 billion U.S. dollars. In 2023, this is expected to rise to 82 billion U.S. dollars, before surging to 936.6 billion U.S. dollars by 2030. Regarded as the next iteration of the internet, the metaverse is where the physical and digital worlds come together. (Statista)
