I think there is a misconception that the 'metaverse' can be some kind of data driven visual experience that we immerse ourselves in.
The real metaverse is what lives inside our heads - that we communicate with each other to (hopefully) build a shared mental model with enough concordance with real reality to be useful to us. All media (including AR) is no more, and no less, than this communication.
