What is Metaverse?
Metaverse is a 3D mixed reality environment integrating the real world with the digital world. In the digital age, the metaverse is the "next great thing" towards social connectivity. While the internet is unable to depict the entire bandwidth of human connection and presence, these are elementary qualities of the metaverse.
Following are the characteristics of the metaverse:
-
Being perpetual in nature, metaverse continues to exist ever after closing the app or logout.
-
A metaverse is a collaborative place where users can watch the same thing and work collectively.
-
Adding a new 3D layer to the internet with augmented reality, metaverse shortens the gap between real life and the internet.
The metaverse cannot be ruled by a single person or corporation. Being a subset of the internet, metaverse incorporates virtual reality, augmented reality, blockchain, and cryptocurrency to create a virtual world that everyone can participate in.
