What is Metaverse?
The metaverse is a system of interconnected, realistic virtual worlds where users can interact with one another, make and play games, work, and shop. The metaverse can be compared to cyberspace or an advanced, three-dimensional internet where logging in is not required. It has more use cases well beyond gaming. It might also include aspects of augmented and virtual reality.
At its most basic, the metaverse will have three features:
- A Sense Of Immersion: Virtually where users will almost live a second life in the virtual world with their desired avatar!
- Real-Time Interactivity: Though we have phones and whatsapp and other video call sessions, metaverse offers a still more real time virtual interaction.
- User Agency: A metaverse user agency is a company that creates a platform for people to interact with each other.

Challenges In Metaverse Implementation
- In practice, it’s a challenging technological achievement to pull off. Such an endeavor calls for significant computer processing power as well as improvements in smartphone, game console, and VR and AR headset technology.
