Evolution of the metaverse

September 19, 2022

Currently there are many companies that are making significant investments in this technology, although it is very young in terms of its development, it is emerging as the technology of the future that continues to grow rapidly due to the innovation it represents.

In ours imagination the metaverse represents a virtual world where we could connect with different devices and augmented reality accessories in order to make us believe that we are physically in it. Just like the science and fission movies we see in traditional cinema (matrix, westworld, wally, among many others). In the metaverse would be the citizens of the world interacting in a non-presential way with an infinite number of users, all immersed in an alternative reality, there you can acquire avatar, clothes, car, house, land and any tangible material object that are part of our daily use, in turn all these accessories would be used in a fictional world with different themes or scenarios, who knows if we can also get a job or partners.Although video games represent a virtual world, where you have an avatar with accessories and live adventures or missions is still a fantasy world; the metaverse not only poses a fantasy world if not an alternative reality where we can do the same things we do in today�s world, but without leaving your home.

The key will be a fully immersive future technology, in which there will be sensors and other devices that recognize our physical movements.

Although there is still time to assimilate it, the metaverse will change the way we live in the future. What we know for the moment is that it may come to offer the same opportunities as the real physical world. It will also make possible the creation of our businesses or business meetings. The metaverse will even have its own economy.

For now the metaverse is simply a transfer of physical objects to the virtual world. However, the growth of virtual reality elements and blockchain technology generate an interaction that will be fundamental to the growth of this Web3.

Web3 essentially refers to the move from a centralized web to a decentralized web model based on the blockchain.Web1 and 2 is simply the development of the internet we know, in the first stage it is a reading internet, web2 is based on reading and writing interaction where all the social networks we know today are born, while Web3 incorporates an execution component. The concept of a metaverse in which participants can share social presence and push the boundaries of what it means to be truly networked represents a huge leap into the digital future.

Decentralized gaming ecosystems allow users to create, share and monetize gaming assets, such as NFTs, through blockchain technology.

However, many of these gaming experiences cater exclusively to cryptocurrency users and isolate the Web2 gaming audience, as one of the biggest obstacles to widespread adoption of the metaverse is the difficulty in accessing decentralized platforms.

While we may be quite some distance from a virtual place indistinguishable from reality, it is reasonable to believe that this future is not far off, especially with the recent development of blockchain infrastructure that has enabled Web3 projects to allow their vision of immersive worlds to take flight within a decentralized and equitable framework.

While there are many ways in which Metaverse business models will overlap with the physical world, from virtual workspaces and learning spaces, to virtual tourism and digital real estate, the combination of VR and Metaverse technology makes gaming an obvious use case.

So far there is a long way to go, however, the growth of Web3 has exponentially accelerated the development of the metaverse.
