What is the meta verse?

It’s a blend of several aspects of technology, like virtual real-time, augmented reality and video in which users “live” within a virtual world. The metaverse’s supporters envision their users working, playing and staying in touch with their friends at every aspect from conferences and concerts to virtual travels around the globe.

“Right now, we’re nearing the end of the next Internet,” said Matthew Ball the director of the venture capital company Epyllion Industries, in a February 2021 article published on his blog.

When will we have it?

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of the company that is now known as Meta (formerly Facebook),estimates that it will take between five and 10 years until the main elements of the metaverse go widespread. However, some aspects of the metaverse are already in existence. High-speed broadband VR headsets, virtual reality, and permanent, always-on virtual worlds are all operational even though they may not be available to everyone.

What are some instances of it?

 

Let’s take a look at the current events that could be the basis for the metaverse of tomorrow:

Meta.

The tech giant previously called Facebook has already made major expenditures in VR including the acquisition in 2014 of Oculus. Meta imagines a world that connects digital avatars to work, travel or even entertainment with VR headsets. Zuckerberg has been adamant about the metaverse and believes it will eventually take over the internet in the way we think of it. “The next medium and platform will be better immersive, embodied and immersive, that puts you in the experience instead of watching it, and we refer to this as the meta-verse” declared Meta the CEO Mark Zuckerberg last month after unveiling the company’s new branding.

 

Microsoft. 

The software giant already has the hologram technology and is currently developing blended and expanded real-time (XR) applications using the Microsoft Mesh platform that blends the real world with virtual reality and augmented reality. This month Microsoft revealed its plan to introduce mixed reality, which includes virtual avatars and holograms into Microsoft Teams in 2022. The company is also working on next yearis an exploring 3D virtual connected areas for workplaces and retail. It is believed that the U.S. Army is currently working with Microsoft on an AR Hololens 2 headset that allows older soldiers to train, rehearse as well as fight. In addition, Xbox Live already connects millions of gamers all over the world.

 

Roblox.

The platform, established in 2004, contains hundreds of games created by users such as role-playing options such as Bloxburg and Brookhaven which lets users construct homes, build work spaces and even play scenarios. Roblox is currently valued at more than $45 billion following its it went public in the year. The day before the company’s IPO on March 1, Roblox Chief Executive Officer David Baszucki posted an appreciation thank for everyone who contributed to make this platform “one one step further to achieving our dreams that we have called the “meta-verse.” Since the time, Roblox has teamed up with skateboarding footwear company Vans to develop Vans World the virtual skateboarding playground where users can dress in new Vans equipment.

Roblox, a multi-billion dollar company Roblox allows users to make millions of publicly available “experiences” (don’t label them “games”) with one standard. A select few Roblox creators earn an income from creating these spaces (which include non-official Squid Game recreations that skirt IP laws expertly).

The potential shift could be an attempt to distract attention from the company’s problems, which include the crackdown on antitrust, testimony from whistleblowers and former employees, as well as worries about the company’s handling of false information.

IS THE METAVERSE JUST A PROJECT ON FACEBOOK?

No. Other companies that are promoting the metaverse are Microsoft as well as chipmaker Nvidia.
