Metaverse: Introduction
If we want to explain metaverse it would be very hard but allow us to use Mr.Matthew Ball’s quote for introducing metaverse:
“Metaverse is an extensive network of worlds and 3D simulations and stable that they are processed every moment.
In this network, the identities of individuals, physical objects, human history, and even payment systems remain intact.
This complex can accommodate a large number of people virtually simultaneously and these people don’t need to be in a physical place.”
Metaverse: Where does it come from?
Metaverse was first time seen in a science fiction novel called Snow crash that is written by Neal Stephenson in 1992.
In this novel, humans are like programmable avatars that interact together with help of software operators in a virtual 3D world that is in fact, a metaphor for the real world.
In this world, users can enter metaverse through a goggle-like device equipped with a high-quality virtual reality display. Stephenson introduces us to legendary creatures that are always in touch with the metaverse.
Metaverse: Everyone can be in it?
Fortunately, there isn’t any limit to being in the metaverse and everyone can attend it freely, anytime, anywhere. Metaverse users create this virtual world with the content and experience they provide.

Military
other uses of metaverse include its use in the military to detect the location of local soldiers and enemy forces using augmented or virtual reality technology. They use special technology called Tactical Augmented Reality.
Real estate
Virtual simulation of a house or property with the usage of AR and VR to show places by real estate consultants to their clients can also be one of the features of the metaverse.
In this way, a virtual replica of a place can create and the visitor can see the details completely and with high resolution.
