Experts are hoping virtual children will be fully accepted and embraced by 2070

In just 50 years time, people will be able to raise virtual babies in the metaverse.

Catriona Campbell is an A.I expert and writes in her new book that virtual babies are the way of the future, dubbing it the “Tamagotchi generation”.

“As the metaverse evolves, I can see virtual children becoming an accepted and fully embraced part of society in much of the developed world,” she says.

Parents will need augmented reality glasses and haptic gloves to see and feel their baby.

Virtual children will also have a digital memory allowing them to speak and respond to emotions.

It’s likely people will have to pay a monthly subscription fee to enjoy their virtual babies. 

This will allow people to choose when and how long they want to raise their digital child.

Some experts believe it could even prevent issues of over-population.
