What is the Metaverse?

For some people, the concept of the Metaverse is hard to understand. That's because the people involved like to talk in technical jargons.
Since Mark Zuckerberg announced that his company Facebook would rebrand to Meta, it has generated a lot of curiosity.

The Metaverse, simply put, is a 3D world parallel to the physical one where people can use avatars to interact with one another. It is like using social media to talk to others but this goes farther than that.

I think one of the best movies to watch to understand the Metaverse is 'Ready, Player One'.

People can chat, buy and sell property and other things, get married, have a meeting, party with each other, play games all in the metaverse. The Metaverse would be accessible by using a headset or browser, allowing you to interact with other users in real time.

The Metaverse is still in development, and the few we have now like Roblox, Fortnite and Decentraland are still not connected to each other. Once they are, that's when we would see the power of the Metaverse.
