Why We Are Already in the Metaverse
Everyone seems to talk about Meta and Web3.
I think we are already in the metaverse.
The Metaverse already exists, and millions of people are in it every day.
Welcome to The Metaverse.
It’s a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space, including the sum of all virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the internet.
The term Metaverse.
The metaverse is a term that refers to the whole of everything.
It was originally coined by Neil Stephenson in his science fiction novel Snow Crash to describe a converged real and virtual world, built on top of the internet.
It is the digital (online) space, where reality and imagination both live. It is a place we may alter to fit our needs and desires.
In some gaming communities, it is believed that the next evolution of gaming will not be achieved in virtual reality but augmented reality, where the real world and online worlds blend.
Augmented Reality technology
It overlays graphics and data in the real world (a game of Minecraft).
