Oh no! The metaverse is here and invading your life. It's one of the most feared words in our future, a dystopian fantasy comes true.
The truth is, it's not being forced upon you. You have a choice to explore this ever-changing landscape, which in reality has little to do with the much-discussed (and very complex) "virtual reality" technology that it is often confused for.
This post will help illuminate the many facts of what makes up the metaverse — from augmented reality to virtual reality — and provide you with resources that'll help you better understand this new era of communication and entertainment that we live in now.
What Is The Metaverse?
The coining of the term “Metaverse” is credited to author Neal Stephenson from his science fiction novel “Snow Crash” in 1992. The novel envisioned the next internet iteration where lifelike virtual avatars connect with one another through virtual reality environments and realistic 3D buildings. Since then, technology advancements have enabled the beginning development of the metaverse with a combination of computers, wearable technology, and machinery, such as virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, motion sensors, and game consoles where users are able to “live” within a digital universe.
Our current contemporary internet experience is two-dimensional where you scroll through and browse everything on a screen. The metaverse on the other hand is 3D, allowing you to “walk” through the two interwoven worlds via connected glasses or headsets that allow you to construct or participate in any universe you desire in the digital world.
In simple words "The Metaverse" is a collective, virtual, open space, created by the combination of virtually enhanced physical and digital reality. An example of an already existing Metaverse some would argue are platforms like Minecraft, Roblox or even fortnite which featured in-game concert featuring travis scott.
Imagine studying, working, interacting, attending concerts, earning money, and playing games in an online realm that is both an extension and a fusion of the real world. Besides, meetings with clients, digital entertainment, work training, and even online study are all expected to be available online in the future, thanks to the Metaverse. This is why so many businesses are investing in the Metaverse.
