What is the Metaverse Anyway?

October 6, 2022

Even the City of Orlando has embraced the Metaverse by branding themselves the Metacenter, but what does that actually mean?


In an attempt to modernize the social media juggernaut, Facebook rebranded itself as Meta. This was the first time the average person heard that term. However, that's far from the terms origins. The term Metaverse has been in existence for decades, but as we enter a new environment of connected technologies, it has gained popularity again. We've seen extreme advancements in the realm of AR, VR, IOT, Gaming, Machine Learning, AI and Blockchain. Things that felt previously like science fiction are starting to feel way more possible.

In a gist, the Metaverse is a term that sums up all of these technologies and also the way we anticipate the internet and our devices synergistically commingling to advance our lives. For a city like Orlando, this means embracing tech that will bring in high paying jobs to the city. For video game developers this means their talents are going to be highly sought after as spatial computing makes up the backbone of this technology. The building blocks are here for the future. At the end of the day, the Metaverse may feel like a catch all buzz word, but it is likely to change the future we know into something extraordinary.


At Laster Law our clients are frequently working on cutting edge technologies within the Metaverse. We understand the legal implications that arise when you start attempting to push boundaries on a legal system that is often still relying on age old precedent.


This leaves questions that are hard to solve.


Laster Law has the answers you need to build your business.

Why Start a Tech / Entertainment Focused Law Firm In Orlando?

April 20, 2019
I grew up in Oviedo, FL, a few miles from what was then a much smaller UCF campus, which meant to anyone outside of the 407, I lived in Orlando. I watched space shuttle launches from my elementary school playground, and I remember when it ONLY took 25 minutes to drive from Oviedo to Disney. I had my Orlando Magic heart ripped-out twice when two of the best big men in the NBA left for the Lakers. As a UCF freshman, I proudly wore my Black and Gold to the first football game at our new on-campus stadium. Upon graduation I traveled just up the road to Gainesville for The University of Florida Law School, trading the Bounce House for Saturdays at The Swamp. Then, I came home. I’ve watched this city grow up alongside me. I’m proud to now be able to give back to my local community as an attorney, to help create jobs and spark innovation by guiding companies toward a brighter future. The City Beautiful has so much potential for tech and entertainment growth. With entertainment powerhouses Disney and Universal and higher education institutions, such as Full Sail and UCF, investing in the tech and gaming industries, Orlando’s poised to become an even more influential tech hub. The synergism between art, culture, simulation, tech, and design can propel the city to new heights. I’m excited to help groups push new tech startups here in Orlando, Florida. Centered within technology, entrepreneurship, and creative strategy, Laster Law brings innovative solutions to our clients.
