Metaverse 还不适合所有人——这可能是欧盟在一场花费超过一只胳膊和一条腿的派对最终成为一场大型贪睡节后从艰难的道路上吸取的最重要的教训。
晚会本应是“音乐的乐趣”，旨在激发年轻人对数字和增强现实领域的兴趣。
周二，对外援助部门通过了“虚拟派对 ”，肩负着邀请年轻人探索虚拟宇宙所谓无限潜力的使命。
尽管花费了 387,000 欧元（约合 400,000 美元），但该部门最终还是遭遇了耻辱的经历，因为只有出现在元宇宙派对上的六个人。
Devex 通讯员文斯·查德威克 (Vince Chadwick) 就是其中之一，他直言不讳地说这项活动是“立即失败”。
Chadwick 分享了他的经历，他说他遇到了另外五位参与者，他曾困惑地（更像是 Duh？） 与之交流过。

雄心勃勃的欧盟 Metaverse 计划遭遇挫折
利用 Metaverse 力量的死气沉沉的虚拟盛会结果成为全球门户倡议 欧盟委员会的目标是到 2027 年投入高达 3000 亿欧元的资金在发展中国家建设各种基础设施。

该委员会表示，他们希望通过虚拟环境中的一系列英雄故事和带有“教育”和“公共卫生”等字样的无人机，以及液体地板上的开放书本艺术装置和具有水上行走能力的参与者会帮助他们的事业。

联欢晚会还没开始就注定了
原来部门的一些内部人员没有信心 元宇宙狂欢节将取得令人振奋的成功，尽管为此付出了巨额资金。
据此，有业内人士甚至将元宇宙派对形容为“数字垃圾”、“压抑尴尬”。
此外，当它的预告片发布时，一些 Twitter 用户抨击这个想法 并质疑欧盟在东非发生大旱灾时选择把钱花在哪里，以及联合国难民署在营地难民食品方面遇到资金问题，等等。
