Metaverse has emerged as a result of combining all virtual worlds and content on the internet with augmented reality and blockchain technologies in general.
The virtual universe, known as Metaverse; It is defined as the perceptual universe where people feel completely mentally with augmented virtual reality devices without any physical effort. This universe also enables human cognition to be experienced in an artificial environment thanks to computers, android devices and 3D devices. Today, one of the most important metaverse investors is Facebook, which bought the Oculus company, which works on virtual reality devices, for $ 2 billion.
In this field, important software companies such as Facebook and Microsoft invest specifically in metaverse development. At the same time, gaming platforms such as Roblox also make large R&D investments in this area. The Metaverse was first depicted in 1992. Metaverse, defined as a virtual reality universe in the science fiction novel Snow Crash, gained popularity again with the spread of AR / VR applications.
Metaverse has emerged as a result of combining all virtual worlds and content on the internet with augmented reality and blockchain technologies in general. It can be called a dimension where virtual and real worlds can be experienced simultaneously. There are no sharp distinctions such as virtual & real in the metaverse world. The metaverse dimension evolves with technology.
Therefore, many issues regarding the metaverse universe are still conjecture. The reason for this is that a technological infrastructure that can fully create the Metaverse universe has not been completed yet. In addition, components such as AR / VR technologies that make up the Metaverse dimension, MMO (mass multiplayer online) games, digital virtual twins (3D scanned virtual copies of the world), NFT-based artworks and blockchain applications have been actively used for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to make assumptions about the metaverse thanks to all the components.
Metaverse is not just with Facebook; They are projects developed by technology leaders such as Microsoft, Epic Games, Roblox and Nvidia for a long time. For example, Epic Games received an investment of $ 1 Billion in 2021 only for the work in the Metaverse area. On the other hand, 12.3 million players attended the Travis Scott concert held in Fortnite in 2020, and an animation was made about how the concerts would be in the future.
