The metaverse is supposed to be an immersive experience into a digital world. Since iran whatsapp number data metaverse doesn’t actually exist (the name originates from a science fiction book called Snow Crash), what the metaverse actually will be, depends on who you’re asking.

In the original book, technology is so advanced that the experience is basically like real life. There are more things you can do, since it’s digital, but there are still “rules to the road” so to speak, so it’s not complete and total chaos. People hop in an out of the metaverse through phone booth-like stations, and you have different levels of experiences based on your wealth, e.g. a rich person may have equipment that allows them to touch and feel things, or have a high quality avatar, while a poor person may just have a black-and-white basic avatar and have limited movement capabilities.

Based on the original descriptions in the book, our current technology cannot create “the metaverse”. Even the best VR experience is kind of a cool gimmick at best, but certainly not immersive and life-like. It’s certainly not an expansive world. It’s a video game.

What “The Metaverse” In 2022 Actually Is
The Metaverse in 2022 is actually just a bunch of companies running sandbox games trying to position themselves as “the best metaverse”.
