A blog about the metaverse and its uses as well as how the technology has changed over the years.
The Metaverse, which is a term that was coined by science fiction writer Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel Snow Crash, is essentially a virtual world that allows people to interact with each other. The metaverse can be thought of as a VR version of the internet.
In the early days of computing, many people envisioned an online world where users could create and share content with each other. In Stephenson’s book, the metaverse is essentially a virtual reality version of this idea, but it has been used to describe any shared virtual space.

How would you describe the metaverse?
The MetaVerse is far more than a 3D virtual world that looks and feels like the real world. Most importantly, it is a place where people can get together to do just about anything they can imagine. Looking for a new pair of shoes? Check out the latest styles from your favorite fashion brands in the MetaVerse. Then head over to your friend’s birthday party in an online world of her choosing, or take part in an immersive role-playing game with thousands of other players across the globe. If you’re looking for deeper meaning, you might enter into a virtual philosophical debate with those who share your point of view. The possibilities are endless.
Metaverse - Some use case
The metaverse will also be used as a tool by businesses and government agencies to conduct meetings, train employees and run simulations on everything from traffic patterns to climate change scenarios.
What is the purpose of the Metaverse?
After 1992 novel Snow Crash, where it describes a virtual world that serves as a major plot setting. Authors have since used the word to describe virtual worlds, virtual reality, and augmented reality. The term is often used to refer to a shared online environment that allows users to interact with each other and create or control something within the space; for example, in video games, people on the internet can communicate and even take part in multiplayer gaming where they participate together in an imaginary world populated by cartoonish avatars.
