Metaverse

The Metaverse is the next generation of the Internet.

What Is The Metaverse


In the 1992 science-fiction novel "Snow Crash," author Neal Stephenson described a virtual world that runs parallel with our reality called the Metaverse. In the novel, people use digital avatars of themselves to interact with each other. The Metaverse connects people and objects in the virtual world to reality, thus integrating the digital world and the physical world, digital life and social life, digital economy and real-world economy, digital assets and physical assets, and digital identity and real identity. The pandemic accelerated the coming of the Metaverse. Many real-life scenarios, such as O2O e-commerce, remote service hall, online education, online concerts, online exhibitions, remote healthcare consultations, and smart manufacturing, are being realized rapidly online. The Metaverse is the next generation of the Internet, based on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
