What Is the Metaverse | Sponsors Directory

The metaverse is a virtual world where users interact through avatars, typically in a 3D display, focusing on social and economic connections. Originating from the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, the term metaverse has evolved to encompass a broad range of technologies, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and Web3. The metaverse has the potential to create new economic opportunities, such as virtual real estate and digital assets, and raises concerns about information privacy, user addiction, and safety.
