Giving Birth to Ideas in the Metaverse: Navigating Digital Identity and Parenthood

In the debut episode of AVATALK, the conversation centers around a compelling metaphor—"having a baby" in the virtual world—framing digital creation as an act of emotional and technical parenthood. As the metaverse rapidly expands toward a projected $800 billion market, this episode explores how creators birth and nurture ideas within immersive spaces like Decentraland. Much like raising a child, launching a virtual project demands patience, resilience, and personal investment, with creators often embedding their fears, dreams, and identities into every digital experience they build. Guests share the emotional highs and technical hurdles of crafting virtual galleries, exhibitions, and interactive environments, revealing how deeply personal these creations become. Episode 1 encourages us to see the metaverse not just as a tech frontier, but as a deeply human one—where identity, creativity, and care converge in meaningful and transformative ways.
