METAVERSE

The Metaverse is a virtual world that uses emerging technologies to mimic the real world. In this digital environment, people can use avatars to interact with each other and software agents in a 3D space. The Metaverse is envisioned as a shared space that transcends geographical limitations and allows people to socialize, work, attend events, and conduct business transactions.?

The term "Metaverse" originated in the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash as a combination of the words "meta" and "universe". The metaverse is built on virtual 3D technology, real-time collaboration software, and Blockchain-based decentralized finance tools. Other key technologies that drive the metaverse include Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, Edge Computing, and Virtual Reality (VR).?

Companies like Meta and Microsoft are exploring and developing their own visions of the metaverse. Some companies are already using metaverse environments to recruit, train, and onboard employees, collaborate across geographies, and enhance operations. Others are using the Metaverse to market and sell products and services, and collect data on customers.?

The Metaverse concept goes beyond a simple platform or brand; it is an ever-expanding digital universe, with companies such as Meta or Microsoft exploring and developing their own visions of this virtual environment.

In terms of utility, the Metaverse serves as a shared space that transcends geographical limitations and enables global collaboration. In it, people can socialise, work, attend events or conduct business transactions, all in a virtual environment. In the current vision of the Metaverse, new opportunities are expected for both individuals and companies in terms of connection, growth and development.
