Metauniverse
Metauniverse, this is a somewhat strange word, but it is trending due to the recent name change of the Facebook group.
The social networking tool still keeps its name, however, the group that brings together Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and others ended up adopting the name Goal.
There is a reason for all this, which is the prediction of the transformation of social networks as we know them. Today we are here to talk a little more about this topic.
What is the MetaUniverse?
The concept is still quite recent and cannot be implemented in practice with current technologies. Therefore, it is possible that several changes will be made over time.
But in general, it is possible to say that the concept of MetaUniverse is a combination of VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality) and social media technologies.
Anyone who has ever used a virtual reality device has certainly noticed how frightening the sensation is precisely because it seems like you have been transported to another place.
But the most interesting thing of all is that this experience will be complemented in an interactive way with other users through avatars.
This means that even work meetings can take place both in person and remotely at the same time. This would perhaps be the easiest first application to implement. However, here are some other possibilities:
Possibilities of applying the metaverse
In addition to the meeting example, we can think of an entire market that uses customizable items for your avatar. This way, people would have exactly how to buy and sell unique items.
As is the case with NFTs, which are currently taking over the speculation market and similar.
Maybe in the future, the YouTuber profession will become a thing of the past and avatar stylist will become something really interesting.
But we can also see the possibility of the person becoming part of the content that is happening. Today, we see at most a movie experience with limited 3D effects.
However, imagine not just being in front of the screen, but inside the space where the film is taking place.
Or, have an even more immersive experience with virtual reality games, even combining it with the participation of people who are on the other side of the planet.
Also consider the possibility of creating learning environments where people can have interactive classes in simulated environments, all in an immersive and interesting way.
Problems today for implementation
The possibilities are truly enormous, however, it is not easy to put even a third into practice.
Firstly, because these technologies are largely very expensive and almost inaccessible. Furthermore, the experiment will require tiny, precision devices that do not yet exist.
Therefore, what we can do is wait and try to always create an environment that takes advantage of the opportunities that will be generated.
Conclusion
So that's all for today. We hope we've contributed by telling you a little more about what the MetaUniverse is. But if you still have any questions about the subject, we're available to help in the comments, okay?
See you next time!
