Emerging Technologies Used For Developing Metaverse
Many of the tech giants believe that Metaverse is the next step in the Internet’s evolution, as it will converge the physical, augmented and virtual reality in a shared online space.
In the 90’s, Metaverse was being popularized by video games and some science fiction novels. No one ever thought that concept could go beyond and become reality. However, it has started taking the shape of reality now. Remote work, decentralized government, and digital identification are some of Metaverse’s possible features.
What Is Metaverse?
Metaverse is a virtual world where you can connect with people via your digital avatars.
As the concept becomes reality it would not only revolutionize the digital world but also will bring significant changes.
In 1992, Neal Stephenson coined the term Metaverse for the first time, in his book called Snow Crash. But in 2021, when Facebook changed its name, the concept became more prominent.
Mark Zuckerberg decided to rebrand his company soon after many tech giants decided to invest millions of dollars in developing Metaverse Technology.

Virtual Reality- Virtual reality has emerged as one of the most exciting and promising technologies. It’s an experience that stimulates realistic situations.
Artificial Intelligence- Other sorts of Metaverse technology that will aid in bridging the gap between virtual and actual worlds include artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. AI will not only be adopted by individuals but will also be integrated into many enterprises to improve efficiency.
Augmented Reality- This is an experience where designers enhance parts of a user’s physical world with computer-generated input.
Blockchain Technology- Blockchain technology has been one of the most innovative technologies in the last ten years. It has radically transformed whole industries’ B2B and B2C models. It should go without saying, then, that Blockchain Technology will be used in the majority of metaverse technologies.
Web 3.0- It enables decentralized blockchain protocol, enabling individuals to connect to an internet where they can own and be properly compensated for the time and data.
