A Guide to the Metaverse
What is the Metaverse?
The Metaverse is a virtual-reality platform in which users interact in real-time with a computer-generated environment and its components for the purpose of business, pleasure, and everything in between. Whether users engage with the platform using a VR Headset for a true immersive experience, or just log on using their web browser, this platform is gearing up to redefine the word “internet”.
The current internet allows users to log on and connect to a vast universe to socialize, work, and learn. The Metaverse will hold the ability for users to “physically” step into that universe and interact with its elements in real-time, bringing a whole new description to the word connection.
