    Bill Gates predicts our work meetings will move to metaverse in 2-3 years

    Only application I'd want this metaverse connection for is my internet dentistry startup project. Still doesn't solve home delivery of local anesthetics and ancillaries. And worse how to minimize people's phobias about a robotic arm sticking a needle in their gums - assuming all sensors are...
