Metaverse

The metaverse is a new digital reality that combines social media, AR, VR, and cryptocurrencies to allow people to interact in a new, online digital world.

People will interact with each other, make purchases, and meet without physically being in the same space.

Metaverse is a bit like a shared, virtual world not too dissimilar from the idea of cyberspace. A pioneer of the metaverse is Meta (previously known as Facebook).
