Capture the attention of the masses

Hi, I'll try to keep this brief. I'm a Meta Quest user who's feeling a bit bored. I think gaming is fine, but now that I'm 35, I don't feel the need to play as much as I used to. These days, I'm looking for experiences and meaningful conversations with other minds.
Do you remember PlayStation Home? There was a bowling alley where people would chat — and not just that. What impressed me the most were the concerts. I went to several, including Japanese music and electronic music performances. I met people, enjoyed seeing avatars, and there was a real sense of action and community.
I think that's the key to attracting more people: the possibility of attending mega-concerts with unique stages. This could generate jobs for designers, programmers, artists, and more.
I'd love to hear your thoughts!

    Hello. I share your thoughts about meaningful conversations. As a professional reenactor portraying Alexander Hamilton from his birthplace in Nevis to his final home in New York, I brought Hamilton to life in the Metaverse in  2019.   I would host different topics for different days in a recreation of Independence Hall. People from all over the world would find me (in Altspace) and enjoy a conversation with an American Founding Father. The I transitioned to Horizon Worlds but put things on the back burner after events went away, but now that events are back I am again hosting Hamilton every Wednesday at 9pm EST in "Teaching History". This should serve an example of engaging educational content.  I plan to ramp up Hamilton later this year in preparation for America's 250th birthday in 2026.

    I'm actually a former historical reenactor myself, and I'm delighted to see this sort of thing coming to Horizon Worlds—there's something magical about a living history exhibit that doesn't come across in a text.

    I also really love the possibilities of bringing concerts to VR. The funny thing about concerts is that when you're at the live event, the most common experience is typically someone sitting in the nosebleed seats, meaning if you want to see anything really cool you have to be looking at the jumbotron...and the jumbotron experience is 2D. A full VR concert experience is actually something where in a lot of cases the VR experience can be fully better than experiencing the same thing live!
