Presented as the future of the internet, the metaverse has already made a name for itself around the world.
Very well demonstrated by Facebook (now Meta) and its iconic CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the new, all-virtual universe is at the heart of the company’s strategy.
Finance, art, e-commerce, education … it will occupy a huge area in our existence. Understanding this, Métaverse Mate, an expert agency on WEB 3.0, decided to be a gateway to integration in this revolution.
The structure offers companies the creation of a metaverse universe and many other natural services.
What is the Metaverse?
Many consider Metaverse to be a video game. However, this universe is more than just “play”. To facilitate understanding of the metaverse, it is first necessary to explain the concepts of web 2.0 and of web 3.0.
Web 2.0
You are probably familiar with the World Wide Web, the famous WWW. This public hypertext system has long made it possible to access web pages through a browser. It is still like this to this day. What a connection to Web 2.0, you say. It is well known that Web 2.0 is only one stage in the evolution of the WWW.
With Web 2.0, website owners and others are no longer the only ones who can post content. Internet users can also offer content that is accessible to everyone. Thanks to the advent of this concept, the web has become a real platform with great user experience and the highlight of collective intelligence. Over time, this has made the internet a network where user participation has become important.
Social networks like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or even Snapchat are in a way the symbol of this Web 2.0. But like the WWW, the latter will undergo an evolution: Web 3.0 symbolized by… the Metaverse.
Web 3.0: The Metaverse
As you can understand, the metaverse (also spelled “metaverse”) is the new stage of social experience that has become the web. The concept today is very difficult to define; each expert has his or her own opinion on the question. However, a certain approach seems obvious and perfectly suited to the idea.
The metaverse is a virtual and extended 3D universe where users transform and interact in real time in the form of avatars (or holograms). The space within the metaverse is similar to that in the real world. You can play, buy, participate in events, learn and even collaborate just like in real life.
So you understand that this is a real revolution. Some even call it the parallel world. Experts prefer to talk about “extension to the real world”.
The metaverse hosts (like social networks) a community of users represented by holographic characters. The virtual space will develop and evolve according to the choices of the people connected and their interactions. It is an endless universe just like the real physical world.
Metaverse: How does it work?
You’re probably wondering how the metaverse works. Note that this is not an ordinary game or app that one can download from the Google store. The metaverse is a well -developed environment that uses blockchain technology to ensure better data security and exchanges.
To access this 3D universe, you must register with one of the platforms that allow access. They really are many. The best known is definitely Méta (Facebook). There’s also Rec Room, Decentraland, Horizon Worlds, but there’s also Microsoft.
You also need to have the right equipment. In fact, to get into the metaverse, you will need a computer or a smartphone, a virtual reality headset and many other elements.
Also note that no one is ready for the metaverse. There are still many challenges to be overcome in order for this revolution to be inevitable. Including increasing global computing power and networking levels, energy consumption, interoperability, etc.
Why is the metaverse THE next digital revolution?
The metaverse will make many things possible, both for individuals and businesses. This is why many specialists consider it the next revolution of our time.
Thanks to the metaverse, we can:
- Be more productive: Companies can create their own environment to host meetings and complete tasks faster than in real life. Agencies like Metaverse Mate are helping companies with this. Individuals can also create a personalized and engaging space to boost their productivity;
- Entertaining in another way: in the metaverse, entertainment will take another level. Instead of attending an event remotely, you are included in it. For video games, the player no longer simply guides a character; he sank and found himself at the heart of the action;
- Learning the original way: the internet has made distance learning possible. With Metaverse, learning will be more visual, more realistic, and more interactive than ever before. Students will be able to touch on certain facts to which it is difficult or impossible to have access (discovery of constellations and celestial bodies, observing the construction of the Burj Al Arab from A to Z, etc.);
- etc.
