Metaverse

Are you thinking of metaverse as the next generation of the internet? Yes, you are right. We love our life on the internet by finding interesting content online, connecting with people through social media apps, sharing that loved ones, or just surfing our favorite shows, but we have to understand now that we could actually have a life on the internet here.
Exactly, this is the metaverse, the 3D internet of the future, the combination of your physical reality with augmented and virtual reality.
Engineers and tech giants are trying to create that trip to go out with your friends which has just canceled. Well, now you can do that from the comfort of your own home. The metaverse is a full social system and economy across the real and virtual world. 
 It's a real-time living experience that never pauses or ends like a video game.
Well, think about how it would be possible to buy a gun skin or car design from one game, but then use it in all the games you played. Mark Zuckerberg said that could even be the next best thing to teleportation right the feeling like you're really there in another place and with another person which is different from any other technology that we've had.
 Honestly, it sounds like something out of sci-fi but that's probably because it is some of the origins of the metaverse lie in Neil Stevenson's 1992 sci-fi novel "Snow Crash" and you also see some of it in Ernest Cline's "Ready Player One".
Except for eating, sleeping and bathroom breaks whatever people want to do they do it in the virtual world.Though many players in the tech industry like Microsoft, Nvidia, Facebook, and Epic games have been trying to make this a reality but how much have they actually accomplished so far?
Some of the earliest experiences in the metaverse can be seen in gaming where people have built their own unique worlds. Take a look at what epic games did with their game Fortnite. They created entire concerts for people to be a part of, and also interact with people like Ariana grand. 
The metaverse is limitless, allowing creators to dream up infinite spaces that are not limited by geographical location. Facebook and Microsoft on the other hand, are approaching this a little differently. Think about what it would be like to get work done in the metaphors. Facebook launched horizon workrooms, a new way for office workers to connect, using virtual reality and an Oculus headset. You can have VR meetings of up to 16 people. There are avatars, all moving around a virtual office space in real-time.
Microsoft is looking to transform the way, businesses and operations happen altogether by creating an entire digital twin of the real world that we interact with through mixed reality. This is already happening today.
Everything modeled in the metaverse, mirrors the status of its physical twin including the interactions and relations between everything. Also, we can now track and analyze data from connected environments to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies.
We can now simulate any possibility, evaluate outcomes, determine the impact of any change or condition. We can now use AI to perceive the physical world to improve and automate tasks to give superpowers to your frontline workers.
We can now give everyone in your organization the power to build apps and workflows to collaborate with each other in this virtual space to share and receive expertise at the right time with the right context in front of you to move through the physical world and get relevant information about its digital counterpart when and where you need.
Now, while these steps are being taken by tech companies, investing big bucks in this future, how this will eventually look, is anyone's guess. The metaverse is aimed to be far more immersive and a continuous experience for future internet users.
What would be needed to make this possible?
The laws that would govern this metaverse and enable it to blend with our daily lives are still a work in progress as of now it's understood that, much like the internet of today there will be no single owner, no operator, no creator of the metaverse.
It would ideally work as an open-source system built on community-based standards so what's going to change as this develops further and how far into this are we really.
Well a lot of the tech that's being used is still in early development and a lot of the ethical and economic questions that will be used in this kind of situation are still unanswered. Human beings are still adapting to a 2D virtual world and there's no saying how we will adapt to a 3D virtual reality in our own physical spaces.
How the money would change hands, how transactions would take place?
It all remains to be seen. According to some the recently springing up NFT markets selling digital assets and artworks, are just the beginning of how this could work out in the future.
Would you like to live in this kind of metaverse? Does it scare you or excite you?
