Facebook’s Metaverse
The metaverse is a new virtual world in which people can engage in social interactions. It is the ultimate expression of social technology and was only recently announced publicly by Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg referred to the company as a “metaverse company” and described it as the next big thing. The company, which has invested in virtual reality and other technologies, has rebranded itself as Meta Platforms.
Metaverse aims to be the global leader in immersive technology with a focus on gaming, rewards, and community experiences. Its native metaverse coin, RFOX, serves as a central hub for its ecosystem and is used to fund various activities in the virtual world. Its use spans across gaming, non-fungible tokens, finance, e-commerce, and more.
As an extension of the virtual world, the metaverse provides new opportunities for exploration. For example, a long-term pandemic of work-from-home policies has created a need for workers to be flexible and work remotely. Yet, working remotely does not provide the same level of social interaction as on-site work. Metaverses enable workers to increase their social connections, enhance their mobility, cooperate with one another, and boost their productivity. Metaverses also provide opportunities for education and learning. In virtual worlds, people can go to a virtual school, go to school, learn about a new subject, and even study.
Metaverse technology is largely supported by blockchain, which secures digital assets and data, and incentivizes users to trade and commerce. Other technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and 3D innovations enhance the user experience by creating a realistic interface and a more immersive gaming experience. Blockchain technology is the backbone of the metaverse economy, and it enables users to create NFTs and Dapps.
