What will happen when the Metaverse Enters Our Lives
Author Neal Stephenson coined the term "Metaverse" for the first time in his 1992 sci-fi novel "Snow Crash", in which he envisioned the nearness to reality in virtual reality environments. Since those days, we have seen various advances in technology advance rapidly: we have almost opened the doors of an online virtual world that includes augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D holographic avatars, video and other communication tools. These important developments that opened the doors of the Metaverse are the content of the subject we will talk about.
As the Metaverse expands, it will present us with a hyper-real alternative world that we can live with. There are already traces of metaverses in online game universes such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Roblox. The game companies that are following these masses have enough of the ambition and effort to be a part of the metaverse evolution.
What is Metaverse?
It is a platform where users can move in a digital and augmented reality virtual universe, while many elements of technology will push the limits. Metaverse providers envision their users to work, play, and stay connected during virtual world trips such as concerts, conferences, and business meetings, or with friends. “We are now at the next internet pinnacle,” Matthew Ball, managing partner at venture capital firm Epyllion Industries, wrote on his website in February 2021. said.
When Does the Metaverse Enter Our Lives?
Mark Zuckerberg, the founding CEO of the company, now known as Meta and formerly Facebook, says they estimate it may take five to ten years for Metaverse core features to become widespread. However, Metaverse is still actively used in some aspects even now. While not accessible to everyone, ultra-fast broadband speeds, virtual reality headsets (VR), and ever-open online worlds are already operational.
