You may have noticed that the term \u2018metaverse\u2019 has been buzzing recently. If you\u2019re wondering why that is, as <\/span>BBC<\/span><\/a> states, \u201cthere is a huge amount of excitement about the metaverse among wealthy investors and big tech firms, and no-one wants to be left behind if it turns out to be the future of the internet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The metaverse\u2019s powerful decentralizing potential has been a prediction even before <\/span>Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s recent announcement<\/span><\/a>, and the advent of the pandemic, which also plays its part in it. According to <\/span>Reuters<\/span><\/a>: \u201c<\/span>The accelerated interest in the metaverse can be seen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As more people have started working and going to school remotely, there has been increased demand for ways to make online interaction more lifelike.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n We only need our mobile phones to remind us of technology\u2019s significant strides in a short time. As <\/span>Adage<\/span><\/a> says: \u201cHardware is becoming more compact, quicker and more intelligent. Thanks to 5G, almost everywhere now has fast, dependable connectivity. In the metaverse, computer vision is becoming more intelligent, allowing for both visual and audible help. All of this contributes to the immersion of the experience, making the transfer of knowledge and experience more rewarding and human.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n … and is poised to impact several sectors like education and retail.<\/span> As <\/span>WSJ<\/span><\/a> predicts:<\/span> \u201dReal-world businesses will be able to participate in the metaverse as well by offering virtual versions of their bricks-and-mortar facilities, Unity\u2019s Mr. Whitten says. With existing online stores, customers can read product descriptions and make purchases. In the metaverse, customers would be able to visit virtual retail outlets and try out products in 3-D and at full scale before buying.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As any new technology brings with it its own changes, integrating the metaverse will open new avenues for the way both consumers and companies interact. As<\/span> Forbes<\/span><\/a> states: \u201c<\/span>Companies will need to transition their marketing strategies from online ad buys to existing in a shared, virtual economy. Companies will need to do market research on their new customers in the metaverse. How people act and what their preferences are in the metaverse could be totally different than how they behave and what they shop for in real life.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The blog covers a range of sectors like Business, technology and culture of all the virtual worlds, including: realities and experiences of the Metaverse, 2D, 3D, mobile phones, VR\/AR, games, MMORPGs, social networks, digital collectibles, esports; game design, Unity, Unreal, free-to-play (f2p), blockchain, and NFTs. His post<\/span> \u2018What We Talk About When We Talk About the Metaverse<\/span><\/a>\u2019 <\/span>also explores the meaning of the term \u2018metaverse,\u2019 how it has evolved, and what the future may bring.<\/span><\/p>\n The word “Metaverse” is made up of the prefix “meta” and the stem “verse”; the term is typically used to describe the concept of a future iteration of the Internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this decentralizing technology is that it won\u2019t just be one metaverse, but multiple, reflecting the unlimited creative potential and explorative possibilities of various entities.
