Key technologies shaping the metaverse
If you’re wondering what makes the Metaverse possible, just keep in mind that web3 is an umbrella term for the next wave of the internet.
The Metaverse is all about creating more immersive and interactive digital environments.
This is made possible by the following technologies that power current and future metaverses:
- Augmented reality, which helps to elevate your experiences and strengthen your connection with the physical world.
- Virtual reality, so that whatever you touch or feel digital materials almost seems as though you are experiencing the sensations physically.
- Blockchain technology, because you can now own an array of different digital assets in these new virtual environments.
Once you enter these virtual worlds, you can use an avatar to navigate.
Think about it as being the main character in a video game, but where you control your character’s behavior using your own body movements in real life.
Unlike video games, you are fully immersed rather than just holding controllers. This means that you can interact with others (both humans and AI), and build whatever you want.
