The metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and the internet, where users can interact with digital environments and each other in real time. Often described as the next evolution of the internet, the metaverse blends physical and digital worlds, allowing people to work, socialize, play, and even trade in immersive 3D spaces. Key technologies powering the metaverse include blockchain (for digital ownership via NFTs), AI, and advanced VR/AR hardware. Companies like Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, and gaming platforms such as Roblox and Decentraland are actively developing metaverse ecosystems. While still in its early stages, the metaverse has potential applications in entertainment, education, remote work, and e-commerce, though challenges like privacy, accessibility, and interoperability remain unresolved.
