A Glimpse Of Future-Metaverse
Cemre ABALIOĞLu
In today ’ s world , I am quite certain that many of you are familiar with the word ‘ Metaverse ’. Plus , I also presume that some of you even had an experience with crypto money , NFT and so many other similar things . Facebook debuted its new company brand ‘’ Meta ’’ last year and it has been a highly controversial and popular conversation topic ever since . However , what is ‘ Metaverse ?’ really ?

First of all , the idea of a digital world simulation is not new . Indeed , many video games and platforms like ‘’ Second Life ’’ already have a virtual reality where they can define the rules the way they desire . So , what makes ‘’ Metaverse ’’ different from them ? It ’ s much bigger and more expensive than anything we have seen so far , the money and effort put into this project is higher than you imagine .
Secondly , it promises a mix of virtual reality and actual reality . For instance , imagine a workplace where some of the employers are actually present while others are connected virtually and all of them are in perfect harmony . They can see each other , interact with each other and this makes teamwork around the globe a lot easier . This is what Metaverse intends to become . Nonetheless , this vision coming true requires some really hightech equipment like VR headsets , headphones , and computers , yet we have not seen anything that could nearly achieve this level of virtual experience . If they manage to solve the equipment problem , Metaverse is destined to be the “ successor of the mobile internet ” as Mark Zuckerberg said .
To sum up , nowadays it is really hard for us to imagine our lives intertwined with this next-level technology , but there ’ s a really high chance that this will become a daily natural thing in our life possibly a lot sooner than we think .
