Overview
“An already booming gaming and online ecosystem has been thrust years further into the future than anyone expected. The convergence of a number of new technologies including Mixed Reality, Blockchains, Cryptography and Self Sovereign Identity make possible much of what sci-fi authors and gamers alike have dreamed of for decades, and the global pandemic has forced us to take giant leaps forward in a hurry. Now billions of people are living, working and playing online, and spending billions of dollars per month on digital property and services. But we’re still in the early days of discovering what connectivity and interoperability can do at this scale, and how the emergent properties of these new worlds can affect our communities and our lives.”
What is the Metaverse?
What is the metaverse? The metaverse is a shared virtual 3D world, or worlds, that are interactive, immersive, and collaborative. Just as the physical universe is a collection of worlds that are connected in space, the metaverse can be thought of as a bunch of worlds, too. (NVIDIA)
Decentralized autonomous organizations
- Member-owned communities without centralized leadership.
