Have you thought about what the future will look like? At what level will technological development be in 10, or 20 years? Maybe a transparent financial ecosystem or a virtual world in which you gain absolute freedom of expression? We hasten to please you – the future is already here. Dive into the meaning of the metaverses.
What is the Metaverse
The word “metaverse” was first used in the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash. In the work, people are immersed in a virtual world, using their virtual avatars to escape from the oppressive reality.
In our world, the metaverse is often presented as a 3D world where users from all over the world spend a lot of time communicating, working, having fun, studying, and so on.
Interaction occurs through virtual (VR), augmented (AR), and mixed (MR) realities used in games, as well as in social networks.
Where is it used?
Examples of metaverses and protocols that incorporate elements of them are projects such as Decentraland, Cryptovoxels, Alien Worlds, Axie Infinity, and The Sandbox.
In fact, all these are NFT games that have expanded to the volumes of the metaverse. These games have all sorts of NFT items that can replace almost everything you have in real life. There are quite a few of them, and they all have a real market value: digital lands, decor objects, clothes, and game accessories. Ownership of tokens is recorded on the blockchain and the item can be exchanged for cryptocurrency through marketplaces.
The introduction of blockchain and virtual reality in the gaming field is fundamentally changing the possibilities of user actions and gives real market value to game items and experiences gained in blockchain games through NFT.
Why do we need a metaverse?
There are two main reasons:
1. Interaction of people without restrictions
All users from all over the world can communicate, buy and offer their services, earning income.
2. Universal working environment
With the integration of the metaverses, resource management becomes easier. There is no need to keep employees in the office. If employees are in different cities or even countries, then this is not a problem – you can organize meetings in a virtual office using VR.
The possibilities for using the Metaverse don’t end with virtual reality games or gatherings. There are a huge number of ways to use metaverses in real life, which allow not only to simplify various processes but also to earn money.
Here are some of the ways:
- Conclusion of contracts through interaction in the virtual world
- Buying/selling real-life items through markets in the metaverse
- Advertise your services through specialized platforms
- Search for like-minded people to work together in real life
- Safe Dating Resources
Prospects
The meaning of the metaverse is to create ecosystems of free interaction between players, artists, workers in various fields, and just users.
At the moment, Metaverse founder Mark Zuckerberg is actively working on creating metaverses from social networks.
However, there are those who allege the malicious actions of corporations to control users and their assets. In this case, both blockchain algorithms and security specialists act as protection against intruders, guaranteeing the confidentiality and protection of users’ personal data.
