Metaverse

More than just virtual reality or an online platform, the larger metaverse is major. Though the term "metaverse" doesn’t have one specific definition, it often refers to a complex web of virtual worlds and digital experiences. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are two technologies essential to the metaverse. Other aspects of the metaverse may include: real-time 3D computer graphics, personalized avatars, person-to-person social interactions, and the exchange of virtual goods for currency. Another important component of the metaverse is blockchain technology, as it powers things such as NFT marketplaces and cryptocurrencies. We may not recognize the tectonic movement toward the metaverse in real-time, but companies such as Facebook-owner Meta, Nvidia, and Roblox are already demonstrating that the metaverse is making a push into the mainstream.
