What is Metaverse?
Metaverse is not something invented by Facebook, Google, or any other company. Metaverse is a name coined by the sci-fi author Neil Stephenson when he wrote his cyberpunk novel “Snow crash” in 1992. Or simply, the metaverse is a 3D virtual reality where people could interact with each other.
What companies are racing for building The Metaverse?
Apart from Facebook, there are many companies that hurried in creating 3D virtual reality.
Google was the first tech giant to introduce something close to this augmented reality: the Google glasses technology.
Google glasses are a technology perfectly integrated into what we might call a metaverse. You are able to put them on and see the world through augmented reality.
Facebook has just announced its intention of creating the Metaverse. It’s an announcement made by its very founder, Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook also changed its parent company name to Meta.
In the windows of Microsoft, there is an option for a mixed reality portal which is similar to the metaverse. Microsoft has started to integrate elements of virtual reality into its products. ‘Teams’ has just introduced this feature, and now you can have your avatar while on Teams.
will it be a metaverse, The Metaverse, or more metaverses?
If more companies race to create a metaverse, aren’t there more versions of metaverses? But of course, they will. Facebook will create its Metaverse, Google and Microsoft will perhaps do the same. All their metaverses will be platforms just like it is at the moment – each giant has its platforms, its own family of products.
After launching different versions of the Metaverse, after a while, the companies will integrate all the versions into a single one and make it possible for people to navigate with one another.
When Metaverse launched:
At the moment, there is no available public version of the Metaverse. There could be parts of Metaverse already coded, but no information on the subject has yet reached the mainstream media.
