What is the Metaverse? Facebook and Oculus Are Getting Into the Metaverse
Metaverse is a shared virtual platform where users can interact with each other irrespective of time and place. It is an extension of the internet that allows people to create virtual selves. These cyberspaces will remain on the network even after events take place in them. It is a complex system containing servers, virtual currency, social media, language processing, and a marketplace.
There are many applications of the metaverse, including real estate sites and blockchain games. Blockchain technology is able to create a decentralized financial system that allows users to engage in the virtual world. This has led to investors acquiring virtual lands. Valuations of such virtual lands are taken as seriously as land sales.
Facebook, which owns the virtual reality headset maker Oculus, is also getting into the metaverse. It plans to support non-fungible tokens, which have been thriving on the Ethereum protocol. In the near future, it will be easier to create and sell limited edition digital objects. Facebook has already invested heavily in Oculus, which has recently announced major hiring drives to build its own metaverse unit.
The concept of the metaverse first popped up in Neal Stephenson’s cyberpunk novel Snow Crash in 1992. It is the idea of a shared digital space that allows users to create avatars, build virtual universes, and meet up with friends. They can also buy goods in the virtual world using cryptocurrency. The metaverse is also a world where distances aren’t a barrier.
