What is Metaverse, Why is it Important?
The rapid development of the internet and the significant digitalization in human life has impacted many sectors and penetrated into various aspects of human life. Over the past decade, many innovations, from social platforms to cryptocurrencies, from automation systems to information technologies, have entered our lives. The concept of the Metaverse is one of the important innovations that has emerged.
It is possible to say that a limited definition like a virtual universe is insufficient for the concept of the Metaverse. This concept, which is considered as a hypothetical iteration of the internet, supports an online and three-dimensional virtual environment through virtual and augmented reality devices, in addition to traditional personal computers. It is a virtual reality that users can experience, participate in, and socialize in from a first-person perspective. Considering that in the Metaverse world, all current industries and social environments are recreated virtually, and we can interact with this world through virtual reality devices, this point reached by cyber culture is considered as the limit of technology. The concept of the Metaverse, which is enriched with new projects every day, is increasingly developing and becoming more complex.
The concept of the Metaverse was first used by Neal Stephenson in the novel "Snow Crash" in 1992.
What is the Purpose of the Metaverse? How to Enter the World of the Metaverse?
What is the Purpose of the Metaverse?
Actually, the Metaverse are social spaces created entirely in the virtual world where individuals can actively spend time. This can be thought of primarily as a combination of popular internet games with virtual reality technology. Although the Metaverse encompasses this gaming sector, it actually hosts much larger projects and revolutionary innovations. It plays an important role as a tool for not only socializing but also further developing the communication sector, making new industrial revolutions, making life fully technological, and realizing many other innovations.
How to Enter the World of the Metaverse?
The virtual universe of the Metaverse can be accessed through specific websites or platforms on the internet. Today, some video games and platforms that support Virtual Reality (VR) feature form the basis of the Metaverse concept. The past activities of popular internet games such as Minecraft and Roblox have facilitated the development of the Metaverse project in recent years.
To enter the universe of the Metaverse in the future, all that is needed is to wear virtual reality (VR) glasses that fully perceive the three-dimensional environment (3D) and exist in this universe with a few directing devices. Once entered, instead of just witnessing images and pressing keys on the computer, one can actively participate in that area. Movements can be reflected in the Metaverse world, and one can become a homeowner by shopping in this virtual world, and even daily tasks can be carried out through this virtual world.
For example, you can benefit from the increase in the value of securities valid in the virtual world by investing in cryptocurrencies. You can even invest in some values called land coins in the virtual world, just like in real life, and profit by expecting the appreciation of lands. If you wish, you can make different investments in Bloktopia, where a skyscraper with dozens of floors is simulated, and socialize in a way that suits you best at the intersection of creativity and socialization by visiting different structures in The Sandbox platform.
The Importance of the Metaverse World
Metaverse technology will facilitate our lives by bringing many activities together. The education world will also undergo radical changes with the Metaverse. For example, thanks to the virtual universe created specifically for medical education, medical school students will be able to conduct their education in a practical way. They will be able to experience everything from the simplest procedures to the most complicated surgeries exactly as in reality and become very competent medical candidates.
Today's most popular metaverse platforms include;
● Roblox,
● Decentraland,
● The Sandbox,
● SuperWorld,
● Bloktopia,
● Axie Infinity,
● Myneighboralice,
● and OVER.
Now that cyberculture, which is intertwined with our real life, has started to take its place and keep individuals within its sphere of influence, the importance of the metaverse world has increased. Especially, with the rise of NFT projects and the importance of virtual assets, the importance of the metaverse world has also increased.
Mainstream technology companies such as Microsoft and Facebook have begun to make quite serious investments in this field. It is envisaged that the metaverse world,
supported by technological developments such as mainstreaming efforts of technology companies to popularize the metaverse and high-speed internet and our mobile phones turning into supercomputers, will become a huge enterprise worth $5 trillion by 2030.
In summary, the metaverse will have great importance in the world of the future. We think that the continuous development of technology and the emergence of top-level equipment will accelerate humanity's entry into the metaverse world.
Our greatest wish is for the doors of a useful and beneficial metaverse world to be opened to humanity.
