Metaverse and all of its possibilities

This concept of the virtual world for which Facebook or Google, Nvidia, and Microsoft are deciding to bet is of such magnitude, to the point that Facebook has changed the name of its company to Meta. It is not any kind of new concept, and we have already seen flirtations with it in the literary and cinematographic world, with films like 'Ready Player One or 'The Substitutes.

Next, we will show you some of the possibilities that it will offer, and give you an idea of how much is missing and what is needed for this concept to become a reality… Virtual worlds are nothing new, and there are plenty of them, especially in the video game industry. However, the metaverse does not seek to be a fantasy world, but rather a kind of alternate reality in which we can do the same things we do today outside the home, but without leaving the room.

The key to this metaverse is that it can be fully immersive, or at least much more so than current virtual reality. Yes, we will have glasses that are possibly similar to the current ones to immerse ourselves in it, but also sensors that record our physical movements so that our avatar within that metaverse does the same. Another of the main ideas of the metaverse is that we have total freedom of creation, both to make our avatar similar to our physical person and to give it a different look, and also to create the environment and our businesses and rooms to our liking.

It's still very early days, and companies like Facebook are only beginning to create the infrastructure and early concepts that lead to a future where there are devices capable of taking us there. Therefore, it is more of a concept, a blank canvas, than a reality that we can connect to today. We are still a long way from being able to all connect to a metaverse in which to interact. We still need to develop that virtual universe, and also develop the technology that makes it possible for us to connect to it. It is also necessary to make, where it exists, that technology affordable for all.

However, during the next few years, you will probably hear and read about this metaverse often, since it is expected that several companies will begin to develop everything necessary to connect us to it. It is an interesting concept and full of business possibilities for companies, so little by little, we will see how it is shaped.
