Metaverse Explained: The name of the largest social media company Facebook has been changed to Meta in the past. It is derived from the word Metaverse. Since then the term metaverse has been a topic of discussion. It is being called the 'Internet of the Future'. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook himself, also said that his company is working fast on this technology, which will be in front of you soon. Microsoft recently said it would buy Activision Blizzard for $69 billion to expand into the metaverse.
The idea of 'Metaverse' is many years old
The metaverse is a virtual world. In this, you will be able to meet other people through your virtual avatar and will be able to do virtually all the things that you do in your real life. That is, reality will be given a virtual form in it. The idea of the metaverse is not new. This word is decades old. American author Neal Stephenson first used the term metaverse for the world of virtual reality in his 1992 book Snow Crash.
Such will be the world of Metaverse
The metaverse is often referred to as an online space where people can socialize, work and play through their avatars. To interact with each other on the metaverse, we would need an AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality) headset. On the Metaverse, we can dance with our friends, go to the mountains, play games with them and watch movies. Although this will only happen in the virtual world. You will have an avatar of your own, which you will be able to design. Plus, you'll have digital assets and be able to build an online home where you can entertain your friends (or at least their avatars).
Will there be a metaverse or more?
This remains to be seen, as there is no standard for the metaverse yet. Many companies are currently working on this, which the rest will follow. Facebook, Microsoft, Sony, Epic Games, and a bunch of smaller companies are the first to try to rule the world. Most companies promise a metaverse that other companies will be able to join.
Metaverse showroom will be seen soon
Several leading clothing and footwear brands are looking to enter the world of the metaverse. That is, soon you will also be able to see virtual shops in the world of Metaverse. You can buy these items on Metaverse with the help of NFT (Non-Fungible Token).
