The metaverse is shrouded in ambiguity. But what does it actually mean? Why is it important? Let’s dive into it.
What is the metaverse?
There’s a lot of confusion & ambiguity surrounding the metaverse & what it means.
Is it VR enabled gaming? Fortnite kids listening to Travis Scott online? Or is one of those games with 3d avatars & terrible graphics?
It’s none of those.
All of these can be a part of the metaverse, but they’re not the metaverse themselves. Truth be told, no one fully knows. I think of the metaverse as the enhanced internet or the enhanced digital world
