What is the Metaverse?

The foremost entry among frequently asked questions about metaverse would obviously refer to its definition. Metaverse is not a product of Facebook, Microsoft, or Google. It is basically a term derived from the 1992 cyberpunk novel “Snow Crash,” which implied a world in which people could interact with each other by using their avatars. The metaverse you are hearing about today is also similar to the same concept in many ways.

The metaverse is actually a 3D virtual reality that would enable people to interact with each other. You can think of the metaverse as a connected ecosystem of online 3D virtual environments, where users could interact with each other, create assets, play games, work and collaborate with each other.
