It is not new, we have been hearing the concept of metaverse for years and if we break down the word we have that ‘meta’ comes from greek and means ‘after’ or ‘beyond’ and ‘verse’ refers to ‘universe’, it is, therefore , a universe beyond what we know. In other words, it is a shared collective virtual space, created by the convergence of physical and digital reality where humans interact socially and economically as avatars. But where does the concept come from? It has nothing to do with the name change that mark zuckerberg proposed for facebook.

The term was first introduced

Decades ago in the book snow crash, a science fiction story written by neal stephenson. To understand how we have reached the metaverse, we go back to the origins of the internet. Web 1.0 was based on hypertext Singapore WhatsApp Number Data and web 2.0 on interaction through social networks. Finally, with web 3.0 we reach the creation and exchange of digital assets such as nfts using blockchain technology . The blockchain is the basis for the metaverse to be decentralized and users can be the owners of their data and content, own and trade non-fungible tokens , for example.

How to enter the metaverse

To date, the metaverse is a project and there is no single version of it, which means that different brands are designing their own version. In some cases the metaverse will be accessible through the browser on your Malaysia WhatsApp Number List computer or mobile phone, in others an application will be necessary on your mobile phone or tablet. In these cases it is not a pure virtual environment, but it does allow for a digital presence. The appearance and mode of interaction is the same as in a video game, but the objectives are no longer impossible missions.
