What is Metaverse?

In this blog, I will talk about metaverse technology.

'Metaverse', which can be translated into Turkish as 'virtual universe', allows users to connect to a world that exists on the internet.

The metaverse concept, which came to the fore with the multibillion-dollar investment plan of companies such as Facebook, Microsoft, Roblox and Epic, is seen as the next stage in the development of the internet.

It is possible to access this virtual reality universe using VR headsets, augmented reality (AR), smart watches and smart glasses.

WHAT DOES METAVERSE MEAN?

Metaverse, which is seen as an improved version of virtual reality technology, is also described as a fictional universe
The word metaverse is a combination of the words "meta" (meaning beyond) and "universe". Additionally, the term appeared in Neal Stephenson's 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash.

Metaverse offers a shared 3D virtual environment where people can shop, subscribe to services, collaborate with colleagues, play games, and even customize the surrounding image to their personal tastes and needs. The metaverse allows one to immerse oneself in the digital world rather than the digital space.

For example, users can project themselves into other places in the form of a hologram. It is stated that the metaverse can be imagined as an embodied internet that one can enter instead of just looking at it.

It is noted that the metaverse, which will be based on reality, will enable users to interact with each other with real human images by digitizing their real physical environments, unlike the cartoonish avatars in pre-created virtual worlds.

It is known that the concept of the Metaverse has been depicted in numerous movies and video games such as The Matrix, Pokemon Go, Minority Report, Ralph Breaks The Internet, Black Mirror.

Facebook executives define the metaverse as an environment where people can feel like they are together while playing games or doing research.
