Metaverse is very intuitive and easy to use for some sectors, but for the legal one, real estate and for the more delicate and bureaucratic professions it is an opportunity to be analyzed very carefully. For this reason, a study centre was founded in Italy, exactly in Rome, thanks to the initiative of some important national and international associations and partners.
Composed of about ten experts/professionals, this prestigious study centre presented themselves through an international metawebinar using Advepa’s metaverse platforms (which is a metaverse’s developer) and this happened on 5th July, 2022 also talking about the first proven applications. Through this study centre, this group of leading and prominent experts (each in a distinct specialty) carefully analyzes the usefulness, applicability and therefore the consistency of the Metaverse for each specific and interesting use.
Probably this Study Centre differs from the other ones precisely for the experts of which it is composed and for the very delicate sectors that concern it. At the moment, and this is also confirmed by the first tests, Metaverse is for sure the most highly visible communication & marketing solution in the new web to do personal branding, exposition and having meetings and probably, (this is just already confirmed) it will be a new exclusive way of socializing, to involve, to attract clients and new clients.
The Study Centre’s experts, through their speaker/coordinator Mrs. Sara Janecek, reassure that they are evaluating with broad prospects of success, to be able to carry out contracts, agreements, mediations, arbitrations “inside” the metaverse, in according with Italian/UE rules; in fact, the experts are very involved and careful in full applicability and consistency in order to transfer knowledge and business models.
The big issue on the metaverse is the tools we will be able to use in next months to enter the 3D reality and how many people can be able to use them. Mark Zuckerberg continues to speak out on his plans. By the end of the year Meta, already Facebook, will unveil Project Cambria, its first viewer for the metaverse. In this sense Mark Zuckerberg wanted to take stock with the international press on the work done by the Reality Labs division on the merits of new technologies that will make it possible to access 3D worlds, perceiving them as if they were technologies.
So what do we have to expect about the meta revolution? "The metaverse has to relate to us forever the way we relate to each other," said Zuckerberg just before showing three prototype headsets. The first, codenamed Butterscotch, is endowed with a resolution sufficient to guarantee a vision in virtual reality equal to ten tenths of the normal tables used for eye examinations. Then Holocake 2, which the CEO describes as "the thinnest and lightest headset we've ever made and compatible with all existing computer games". The problem with Holocake 2 is that it requires the use of specialized lasers, which are still too thick and expensive to integrate into a mass market accessory. The third device shown is a close relative of Meta's long-awaited goggles, at least in shape. It's called Mirror Lake, it takes back a pair of ski goggles and integrates not only Holocake 2 technology but also the others Meta has been working on for the past seven years. <br> The purpose? Responding to what the company calls "the Turing visual test". In 1950, Alan Turing devised the test whose purpose is to determine whether a computer is capable of engaging in human behavior. Visual testing is a way of assessing whether what is displayed in virtual reality is distinguishable from the real world. "We are taking an important step towards realism and creativity. I am convinced that, if we continue to make progress, we will arrive at a future where information technology will be increasingly focused on people and how they want to experience the world.

Metaverse has been always a fashion hub. Since the first big international companies betting on it has been the fashion ones. A new report by McKinsey & Company has suggested that the metaverse’s potential economic value could see it generate up to five trillion dollars in impact by 2030.
In this new era of econmical changes, Prada has released its second Timecapsule NFT Collection: a monthly online event where for 24 hours exclusive items are dropped on its website in limited quantities and in selected markets. This was made with a collaboration with artist Cassius Hirst, which was dropped in early June and sold out, according to Prada.
According to the management consulting firm, digital worlds are quickly becoming the biggest new growth opportunity for a number of industries over the next decade, including e-commerce, which it estimated could have a market impact of up to 2.6 trillion dollars by 2030.
As the data say and underlined by Fashion United virtual goods economy was estimated to contribute nearly 75 percent towards global gaming revenues, with about 79 percent of consumers active in the metaverse to have made a purchase, mostly to enhance their online experience.

Social network and cryptocurrencies, a combination that is not always a good news. In fact users who report the loss of life's earnings through false investments in cryptocurrencies are increasing. Cybercriminals know no limits for carrying out phishing attacks.
CNBC reports some testimonies. One victim was contacted by an alleged manager of a company who advised her to invest $ 400 through Crypto.com. He then increased the amount and moved the money to a site run by the scammer, losing everything (almost $ 290,000). LinkedIn has published an official blog post to confirm an increase in fraudulent activity in the past few months. The Californian company, acquired by Microsoft in 2016, uses artificial intelligence and a team of experts to identify fake accounts and scam attempts (the percentages are 96% and 99.1%, respectively). Unfortunately, as recent cases show, scammers still manage to deceive users.

A few days ago the New York Times published the latest news about Apple: the Cupertino's company has enlisted Hollywood directors like Jon Favreau to help its effort to create products that blend the physical and virtual worlds.
Behine the scenes there will be no more just cameras, lights and tripods. The future of cinema is already here and it made of virtual avatars using new tools in order to improve the relationship between reality and metaverse. To be an actor we can guess, in the future, you will have to study in the metaverse?
Apple's augmented and virtual reality headset will have some content created by Hollywood directors. The first could be Jon Favreau who among other things directed Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr. To report the indiscretion the New York Times, which ensures that the device will be launched next year almost 15 years after the iPhone revolution. The Cupertino-based company would therefore be recruiting directors of the caliber to develop video content for a viewer that should lead Apple into the mixed reality sector that Microsoft, Google and the parent company of Facebook, Meta are already betting on.
Apple's development of virtual reality content and software tools is important to create experiences that give its headset purpose. To make it useful, analysts explain, it will have to have content that transcends the niche world of video games. Apple started this journey a few years ago: in 2017 it launched ARKit, which allows developers to use the iPhone's camera and motion sensors to position digital objects in the real world and allow people to interact.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 7.8 percent to $20,289, its lowest since December 2020 - as NBC reports. The world’s largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 7.8 percent to $20,289, its lowest since December 2020. It has lost around 28 percent since Friday and more than half of its value this year. Bitcoin falls by up to 30% since May inflation report. It has slumped about 70 percent from its record high of $69,000 in November.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been dropping sharply, thanks to major turbulence in cryptocurrency markets. Hotter inflation has raised expectations for the possibility of a bigger interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve, which begins a two-day policy meeting on June 14.
Bitcoin prices are now down 50% year to date and are trading well off their all-time highs around $69,000 in November 2021.
An important role has to be found in Celsius, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform and one of the largest crypto lenders.
As Forbes as written "With up to 1.7 million customers, Celsius has earned a cult following in crypto world by advertising that users can earn an annual percentage yield (APY) of up to 18% by depositing their crypto holdings on their platform".
The company had $11.8 billion worth of assets under management (AUM) as of May 17, down from more than $26 billion in October last year. In June, the company stopped disclosing its total AUM on its website.
In the end everybody knows that stocks, commodities, high-yield bonds, currencies—and Bitcoin—are risk assets because you can expect their prices to move up and down frequently under almost any market conditions. We can wait and observe, but sometimes failure will happen.
