What is metaverse:

Metaverses are sometimes called immersive, persistent, interactive digital environments that frequently support social and business endeavors.

The idea was developed in Neal Stephenson’s science fiction book Snow Crash. Although the concept of a metaverse was long considered a myth, it now appears that it might become a reality soon.

Augmented reality will power the metaverse, with each user in charge of a persona or avatar. You could, for instance, complete work and unwind in a blockchain-based game while wearing an Oculus VR headset in your virtual office, have a mixed reality conference there, and manage your cryptocurrency portfolio and money all inside the metaverse.

Facebook’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, stated in an interview in July 2021 that his contentious social media company will experience a significant shift during the next years. Facebook will successfully change how people see it from being largely a social network company to a metaverse firm, according to Zuckerberg.
In the upcoming years and decades, we will all work, play, and interact on the upcoming version of the internet, according to its proponents. The future of the internet, also known as Web 3.0, depends on whether it will be open and decentralized, free from the control of a small number of individuals, or more like today’s internet, with proprietary platforms like Facebook and Google that monetize user data, companies will grow their businesses.

The Metaverse Will Become Fundamental To Everyday Life

By 2040, multiple large tech companies will make significant contributions to the metaverse. And the metaverse will gain widespread appeal among people of most age groups and demographics. The average person will likely use the metaverse and hardware components associated with it as much as people use the internet and smartphones today.

The average person in 2040 could have:

  • A highly-detailed and realistic 3d avatar with several pre-set outfits along with hundreds or thousands of individual clothing items to choose from
  • Decorated 3d home space containing doorways to their bookmarked metaverse worlds
  • 3d virtual work environment with a custom arrangement of apps that are tailored to work optimally in a metaverse environment

Digital assets could be accessible across multiple devices such as virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, smartphones, smartwatches, and so on; and those assets could be accessible in multiple apps that were typically considered unrelated to each other in earlier decades. For example, we may have the option to use our custom avatars in a wide spectrum of video games when that option is made available by game studios.

There could be a wide variety of virtual environments in the metaverse that each serve a different use case beyond just entertainment. Those use cases would include fitness, education, job and career training, product demonstrations, virtual keynote speeches, marketplaces to buy both virtual and physical items, and more.

For better or for worse, advertisements would likely play a huge role in the metaverse.

The clothing and props that people use for their avatars could be used by prediction algorithms to recommend similar real items on the e-commerce websites they visit. And the metadata from the virtual worlds people visit could be used to predict what items they might want to buy that fit the same themes as those worlds.

Additionally, we could have user-generated, location-specific holograms overlay in most major cities and institutions to provide navigation, reviews, and 3d animations of past events.

Is Metaverse worth Investing in?

Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence see the value of the metaverse hitting $800 billion as soon as 2024, while Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak estimates that value could top out at as much as $8 trillion.

The metaverse market is worth billions and in the next few years, it could be hundreds of billions, which is a massive value because basically, you are investing in the latest technologies that will gain pace. This industry will gain enormous potential in the future, All the major brands and tech companies have started investing in it, and eventually, it will become a metaverse ecosystem.
