The term "metaverse" is not new.  Back in 1992, science fiction writer Neil Stevenson came up with it and described it in his book Avalanche.  Under the metaverse, the author understood immersion in virtual reality, in another world in which people, as in ordinary life, contact each other.

▶ The modern world interprets the metaverse as an online virtual reality space that:

▪ never turns off, pauses, ends or erases;

▪ immerses a person in the digital world in real time;

▪ acts according to unified economic laws;

▪ has a set of real world elements.

▶ It would seem that the metaverse is an invention of science fiction writers and nothing more.  However, Mark Zuckerberg, in 2021, in his notorious social network, which is currently banned on the territory of the Russian Federation, said that he was going to create this very digital reality, a parallel metaverse.  And he even took the first steps, for example, he released an application for a virtual reality helmet and developed a project for working in them right from home.

▶ "Corporate metaverse" head of Microsoft S. Nadella calls a set of Microsoft Azure cloud services that allow you to create virtual copies of objects and work remotely.

▶ The Dubai authorities launched the Dubai Metaverse strategy, which aims to increase the number of blockchain companies by 5 times in 5 years.  It will be an environment where participants will be able to interact with each other in a three-dimensional online space.  Each participant will have their own avatar.  It is assumed that within 5 years, 40,000 jobs will be created in the metaverse, and the state budget will be replenished by $4 billion.

▶ Elements of the metaverse are found in many popular games such as Roblox and Minecraft.

❗Many companies are working on creating a metaverse, but not one of them is ready to switch to it globally yet.

✅ What do you think, what is the future of the metaverses?
