Metaverse
In science fiction movies and books, we often see a futuristic utopia where virtual reality blends with the real world. But now, it’s no longer just fiction—it’s showing up in boardrooms, among executives, investors, and major companies. A clear sign of this shift is when Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, rebranded the parent company as Meta, making it the owner of Facebook.
The metaverse essentially uses technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and holograms to create immersive environments that integrate virtual elements into the real world. This experience is delivered through VR headsets or even through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
