The metaverse: a metaphysical universe in emergence
A combination of technologies creating a persistent blend of the real and the virtual worlds
The metaverse emerges from the convergence of physical and digital realities. It is a combinatorial innovation that requires multiple technologies – AR, VR, MR, HMDs, IoT, AI, cloud, 5G and spatial technologies – to function in synchrony. Being device-agnostic and persistent, the metaverse provides enhanced immersive experiences and supports an independent virtual economy based on non-fungible tokens (NFT) and crypto-currencies.
