At the moment, all eyes are focusing on how the Metaverse will impact our lives, especially in the real sectors such as the manufacturing industry or various factories in addition to the entertainment industry which is the most obvious and often cited as a sample of the possible used case.
Now, what is the Metaverse? It is a 3D virtual network that focuses on social connectivity. It is a merging of virtual reality and the physical world. Users can create their own identities and perform virtually every activity in this virtual space.
To help us grasp a better understanding of the word "Metaverse", try substituting this word in a sentence with the word “Cyberspace” and you will find that 90% of the meaning does not change. This is because this buzzword does not refer to any specific type of technology, but a broad shift in the way we interact with technology.
In general, the technologies that make up the Metaverse may include Virtual Reality (VR), which is characterized by a virtual world that continues to exist even when players have logged out. The same applies to augmented reality (AR) which merges the aspects of the digital and physical worlds together. However, access to these areas is not necessarily limited to VR or AR since popular Nintendo games like Fortnite can also be accessed via PCs, consoles, and even mobile phones.
