The Metaverse is a highly interactive three-dimensional virtual world based on AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality). Users in the Metaverse can come together in a digital universe, where they can buy & sell land, buildings, and other digital acquisitions and explore the space using their personalized avatars. The avatar representing a user within the Metaverse can look how the user wants. Maybe it’s the same appearance as the person or completely different.
Here are a few applications of the Metaverse in various industries:
