Metaverse is a fictional universe. It is basically a hypothetical iteration of the internet as a single, universal and immersive virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual reality and AR (augmented reality) headsets. Metaverse was originated in the 1992 science fiction novel ‘Snow Crash’. Metaverse is likely to influence our lives in a lot of ways, some of them are currently unfathomable. The term ‘Metaverse’ is used to describe a combination of a virtual reality and and mixed reality of the world, which will be accessed through a browser and headset. which allows people to have real time interactions and experiences across distance.
The current set of Metaverse worlds each has its own access, avatars, interactions and currency. The current increase in attention to the Metaverse is partly driven by the very recent ability to fully ‘own’ virtual objects, experiences, or land.
