Metaverse is an online virtual world that incorporates augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D holographic avatars, video, and other forms of communication. Users in the metaverse “live” in a digital realm, engaging with one another using avatars and virtual reality technologies. This technology enables people to live parallel lives by adopting unique digitalized identities known as avatars.
Indeed, the concept of this technology was conceived long back. The idea was first coined in 1992 by an American author called Neal Stephenson in his science fiction novel called “Snow Crash.” It represented a concept of a digital world emerging soon. Currently, Stephenson is working for Magic Leap to help build the metaverse.
