What is the metaverse?

December 5, 2022

The metaverse is a term that is used to refer to a hypothetical virtual world that is created by the convergence of the internet and virtual reality (VR). The metaverse is often described as a shared, persistent online space where users can interact and engage with each other and with digital content and experiences in real-time.

The concept of the metaverse has been around for decades, but it has gained more attention in recent years with the growth of VR and augmented reality (AR) technology. Many people believe that the metaverse will be a major part of the future of the internet, and that it will become a central hub for online social interaction, entertainment, and commerce.

In the metaverse, users would be able to create and customise their own digital avatars, which would represent them in the virtual world. These avatars would be able to interact with each other and with digital objects and environments in real-time, allowing users to engage in a wide range of activities, including gaming, socialising, shopping, and more.

Overall, the metaverse is a hypothetical virtual world that is created by the convergence of the internet and VR. The concept of the metaverse has gained more attention in recent years, and many people believe that it will become a major part of the future of the internet.
