Metaverse

The term ‘Metaverse’ describes a new way that we interact with the digital and physical world.

“The Metaverse is a massively scaled and interoperable network of real-time rendered 3D virtual worlds which can be experienced synchronously and persistently by an effectively unlimited number of users with an individual sense of presence, and with continuity of data, such as identity, history, entitlements, objects, communications, and payments.”
– Matthew Ball, The Metaverse Primer, 2021

The Metaverse and related applications such as Web 3.0, NFTs or cryptocurrencies are essentially enabled by technologies such as AR/VR, blockchain, streaming, browser-based rendering, 3D techniques and more.
