Metaverse is not far from today. We hear it, read it or see it before but most of us never experience it. It has creative and dystopic sides, but for now, it has not started yet.
In the technology world, companies talking about Metaverse for a while. the most interesting part of this subject is Metaverse includes a lot of technology inside of itself; AR/VR, online games, online events, NFT based ARTs, DeFi, 5G, and many more...
The term Metaverse was first used in the 1992 cyberpunk science fiction novel Snow Crash. In 2018, with Ready Player One X, it got the attention again. Today, the Founder and CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg, transform their company from a
social media company to a metaverse company. Now, "Facebook Inc." is called simply "Meta".
To summarize briefly; Metaverse is a kind of new reality universe & dimension where virtual and real can be experienced simultaneously, formed as a result of combining all virtual worlds (MMO games, virtual meetings, etc.) and content on the internet using Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and blockchain technologies. we can say. There are no sharp lines for real or virtual in Metaverse. In Metaverse, users can experience and reach everything in the universe with AR or VR.
Actually, everything that we talking about Metaverse is a guess. There is currently no technology for developing a Metaverse for now. In another way, the technologies AR / VR, MMO (mass multiplayer online) games, digital twins, NFT based ARTs, and blockchain apps (these are the basis of Metaverse) are currently used every day by us.
The building of Metaverse is not gonna by only Meta (formerly Facebook Inc.). Microsoft, Epic Games, Roblox, and Nvidia also developing technologies for Metaverse. For example, at the beginning of 2021, Epic Games received an investment of close to a billion-dollar only for the work in the Metaverse area.
When the technology and content to create the Metaverse are ready, users will exist simultaneously in both the physical and virtual worlds. For example, while you walk on Istiklal Avenue, your digital twin will be able to walk on the virtual Istiklal Avenue if you wear AR glasses.
While the Internet consists of datasets, the Metaverse will include experience beyond knowledge. Because of current websites and social media platforms reach us from 2D mobile screens. Metaverse replacing this channel with 3D AR or VR.
Digital avatars can join any
event from any place in the World. During the event, digital avatars can show or trade their NFT based ARTs purchased before.
Currently, there is no experience for Metaverse because adaptation is impossible from the current internet to Metaverse. On the other hand, especially with the introduction of 5G technology, AR / VR hardware and content will become widespread. Metaverse is getting close and will be part of our life. With its creative world beyond the limits of what is predicted and, of course, its dystopian dark side.While the Internet consists of datasets, the Metaverse will include experience beyond knowledge.
