THS Zuckerbeg’s vision for a metaverse. (Metaverse)
View Info Slide
Info Slide
Originally the term comes from a dystopian novel called Snow Crash (by Neal Stephenson) about people who escape a crumbling society by entering a "metaverse" where they can connect to people and share experiences. The basic idea is that, instead of picking up your iPhone to send a message to a friend to meet you at a movie theatre, you'd put on a pair of glasses and "attend" the movie together, virtually. (Inc, 2021).
