What Is Metaverse

Metaverse is the whole new dimension of the technology of mankind which brings virtual reality, augmented reality, and the next generation of internet technology into a single space and time. The word meta suggests beyond the data and verse suggests universe. The summation of those two parts creates a metaverse, a new virtual universe for human beings.

The amalgamation of the Internet of Things (IoT), future Internet with the 3D virtual space or you can say "Cyberspace" will create the Metaverse for you. It's the next big thing, our future. You'll be going to live in this future in a very recent time. That time is approaching faster than your anticipation.

The Past of Metaverse

The term was coined a long ago in 1992 in the novel "Snow Crash" written by Neal Stephenson. Then we find it again in the novel "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. The term was dictated as the future where your physical world will be merged with the digital world and whether you accept it or not you've to live within it. 

We get another instance of this word from Kevin Kelly's "Welcome to the mirror world" wrote in 2019. Yes, you heard right, it's the mirror world. From the past, this mirror world is just imagined and dictated inside novels, but its incarnation started a few years ago. With the advancements of Virtual Reality [VR], the concept of Metaverse started its first breath on the world.

A world will be created where everything can be cloned, say it's your bedroom or your college or your office room, and also your favorite coffee shop. When it'll complete, you'll witness a shared and persistent world of both the digital and real-world instances. 

The Buzz of Metaverse

The buzz of the word "Metaverse" becomes noisy when multiple tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Horizon, Niantic, and recently Facebook stepped their foot into this technology enhancement. 

Recently you'll be able to hear more tech platforms are engaging in Metaverse. Why will they not? It's our future! It will be our future and you've to live within it. 

For instance, you can take, before the birth of the Internet in 1991, everyone talked about it since its inception in 1983 but no one could have imagined how the world will be with using it! Now take a look in 2021 where you hardly spent time without using the internet. You're reading this article thanks to the internet.

So, we're now not able to visualize how our future will welcome ourselves in the metaverse, but standing on 2031 I bet we could. 

A Day in the Metaverse will look like this:

Suppose you have to send a special file to your colleague, but on the way to your office, you remember that. Suddenly all the files and folders are available in front of you on the way to your office. You pick that special file, send it at that time. The person receives the link and tells him what to do with that file.

Suppose your pet is staring at you and you forget to feed him. A notification comes in front of your eyes what was the last time you gave him food, what was the meal at that time, what is his next meal, and the timings along with it. You don't have to feel tensed regarding feeding him again. 

Suppose you're in a meeting but you had to buy something at that moment for your partner. A shop appears in front of you with your favorite ones which you've already saved before. Select the best one and it will be delivered to your partner before the time. 

Suppose you're shopping online from your home, but couldn't able to judge the dress matching with your size or not. Seamlessly you wear that virtually, check if it fits properly or not and the technology does the rest part of its own. 

Suppose you want to listen to one of your favorite songs, you're making dinner at that moment. A list of your favorite songs appears quickly in front of your eyes, you pick that one from your finger and it starts playing in your home theatre placed in the next room. 

Sound's cool? Yes, the future will be going to that cool!

If you want to visualize more what I'm saying then it will be better to look at it yourself. 

This video from "Adobe MAX 2019: Adobe Aero | Adobe Creative Cloud" will give you a clear idea of how you going to live your future nearby.

Now I think you're excited too like me. Think of a digital avatar for yourself who's doing your necessary stuff on your behalf. Think of a playful bedroom where you can set your own imagination and relive the moment with your imagination. All things will be possible and depend on your imagination. Only your imagination will be the limit. 

Sponsors, funders, producers, big investors, everyone is leaning on Metaverse and claiming to build an effective and entertaining future. The impact of the Metaverse will change the course of our world. The profits will impact the economy, businesses will grow, as well as marketing perspectives. 

Conclusion:

Already Covid19 pandemic shifts marketing totally on Digital paths, now the Metaverse will shift it more beyond the imagination. Eventually, people will rely more upon completely virtual realities and be willing to interact through augmented realities. Social communications will expand further. The Education and Services community will expand themselves also. 

The iterations of the internet and web world will flourish more to help the society in better needs. Brands, Professionals, and entrepreneurs will get new opportunities. The evolution of Metaverse will create amazing paths for creativity. The world is going to change rapidly, but now the question is how quickly we can adapt to it?
