The Metaverse is an immersive next-generation interpretation of the internet, probably rendered by virtual or augmented reality technology.

Metaverse History:

The term Metaverse arrived by Neal Stephenson in a science fiction novel approx 30 years ago, describe a virtual world in wide use in his imagined future a 21st century the metaverse is a virtual reality world depicted as a planet-encircling market where virtual real estate can be bought and sold and where VR google wearing users inhabit 3D avatars whose form they have the freedom to choose.

What is the difference between VR and AR?

Virtual reality (VR)

VR is an immersive experience where one puts on a headset and sees, and can operate within, a digital world. VR now uses full headsets rather than glasses, immersing the user in a 360 virtual world that they can move around in as long as they don't bump into physical walls. 

Augmented reality (AR) 

AR is a digital overlay projected on the real world. Think of Niantic's Pokemon Go, Snapchat's dancing hot dog, or even wearables like Google Glass. While Google Glass never took off, we could soon be looking through AR-connected glasses such as Facebook's Ray-Ban Stories or Snapchat Spectacles. 

Mixed reality (MR) 

Mixed reality combines elements of VR and AR, but the exact definition is blurry. A person can interact with virtual and real-world entities. and virtual objects can interact with real-world ones. 

Extended reality (XR) 

Extended reality is a catch-all term for VR, AR, and MR, concepts that often overlap. Eventually, the lines between VR, AR, and MR might blur as the Metaverse becomes a reality making XR a more suitable term. 

Why Metaverse is the Future of Work?

What will the future of work in the metaverse look like? 

Training new designers and developers with a specialization in 3D modeling of avatars, wearables, objects, architecture, and interiors, leveraging virtual world-specific software development kits

Evaluation of content creators and storytellers that can span across virtual worlds, virtual goods, NFTs, token gates, commerce, and communities.

Redeployment of event producers that specialize in metaverse experiences such as art shows, sports events, sightseeing and travel, parties, 

The Bottom line

The components of the Metaverse continue to expand very quickly, it is difficult to base a business strategy on dynamic space, characterized by explosive growth and the continuous innovation of new entrants, also the costs and risks of engaging early in order to build internal property.
