The word Metaverse originated from a novel titled SNOW CRASH which was written by a science fiction novelist called Neal Town Stephenson who was born on the 31st of October 1959. The novel was published in the year 1992 which gave an insight of the Metaverse where it gives an instance where human beings where able to interact with one another in a 3D virtual world with the use of avatars which is modified to have their own characteristics.
According to my understanding, I will say Metaverse is the combination of two words which are META and UNIVERSE. Meta is a Greek word which when used as a prefix means after, beyond etc. And universe can also be defined as an imaginary world or atmosphere. Looking at this two definitions I will say that Metaverse simply means beyond Imaginary world.
In a nutshell metaverse is a technology development which allow people to experience a different type of feeling as they are able to enter the internet and interact with other people and get the feeling of being together with those people in all their senses. This is just like going into the internet and having a facial conversation with those who we chat with that is how we feel with metaverse.
According to Facebook, metaverse is defined as a virtual space that allows one to create and explore with other users who aren't in the same place ohysically. Metaverse isn't a new concept as it has been talked about even before year 2000 even atvthatvit hasn't still gotten to the time of full realization as it's just coming into play and it is seen as a place where one can learn, play, shop, create and interact with Friends in a virtual and home.like environment.
Metaverse uses a combined technology which is the virtual reality VR and the Augmented Reality AR. The AR features overlaying of sound, visual and other sensory stimuli from the virtual space to the real world setting which enhances the users experience. The AR can be used with a smartphone and the user is in charge of the control, while rorn6h3 Virtual reality it is completely virtual experience and it only enhances fictional realities and this require that a users uses a headset device and the user is controlled by the system.
Mark Zuckerberg who is the CEO of Meta formerly known as facebook posted a YouTube video which has brought about the increased in the popularity of Metaverse and hopefully the integration into metaverse will start soonest as it's still a concept which hasn't been actualized.
IS METAVERSE THE NEXT LEVEL OF FUTURE TECHNOLOGY?
This question might be running through our minds that is it really that important for metaverse to come in now. The answer is YES and this can't be disputed after the COVID-19 crisis which the whole world face, that period was a trying time for everyone, it might not have affected the world more if metaverse was already in play.
Works could have continued from home effectively, for those who felt lonely during that period, they would have felt more homely if there was metaverse in play as they could easily connect with friends and families getting the same feeling they feel when with them physically.
Metaverse will prove very useful as it will help strengthen love between long distance couples and families, enables people to have same experience with those present in a religious gathering or a social gathering, it also brings and end to having to go to work daily as most of the work can be done using the Metaverse.
BLOCKCHAIN AND METAVERSE
The integration of metaverse will be mostly be incomplete without the use of blockchain in that blockchain offers different features which Decentralization is part of it. Decentralization allows for the Metaverse project to be rub without the need of any third party that will always bring in regulations which might not be comfortable with the user of the projects.
Another aspect where metaverse is compatible with Blockchain is that aspect of where there is upmost trust to the users of the project. The transactions and activities carried out in metaverse will be stored on the blockchain and blockchain has this features which always ensure to store every trànsaction putting date and time and this doesn't make it possible for anyone to modify the trànsactions that has been carried out.
Since metaverse tends to ensure there is real time feeling in the project, there will always be a need for currency which will be non other than a digital currency called crypto. Blockchain will also allow the smooth use of crypto currency and this also enables more progress in the Metaverse project.
