Introducing “Perspectives on the Metaverse”

Welcome to Interchain.Me, a platform where technology meets life. We are thrilled to reintroduce Prospettive sul Metaverso (Perspectives on the Metaverse), a podcast series that explores the fascinating, ever-expanding world of the Metaverse. Originally conceived in Italian, this series offers a deep dive into the Metaverse, combining fresh news, expert analyses, and engaging discussions.

The Metaverse, a term famously coined by Neal Stephenson in his novel Snow Crash, represents a virtual universe composed of interconnected digital spaces. This concept continues to grow, bringing with it daily innovations and exciting opportunities. Our podcast aims to make sense of this new frontier and discover how it can enhance our lives.

• Rita Trombin: An environmental psychologist and biophilia expert, exploring the human connection to natural and virtual environments.
• Roberto Capodieci: A decentralization and Web3 expert, with extensive experience in blockchain and emerging technologies.

Together, and occasionally joined by other specialists, we navigate the complexities of the Metaverse with curiosity and enthusiasm. From breaking news to in-depth discussions, every episode offers insights into this evolving digital realm—all while keeping the conversation accessible and engaging.
