Here is my roadmap to the "metaverse" or the final medium if you like: The clients will be X86/Win and slowly migrate to ARM/Lin as electricity prices rise, right now only Jetson Nano is good enough, Raspberry 4 has half-float issues and the GPU is generally too weak.
On the backend you need to own the persistent data but not the real-time data, so you will distribute your database on 2x or more home hosted setups and the regional live servers (asia (AWS and GCP), central US (GCP and IONOS) and europe (here anything goes)) will connect to those.
You need 1Gb/s up+down fiber on two homes for this.
You also need a software/hardware stack that can saturate those 1Gb/s at very low wattage so you can have lead-acid backup power (make sure your appartement building has a UPS on the switch in the basement).
The real tricky part is the license you apply to all of this so that others are incentivized to fill the demand for you in the case that blows up!
I'm going to go with with monthly payments in proportion to your revenues starting at $20/month.

For end customers I'm thinking $10/year.
