The metaverse refers to a virtual world, or a collective virtual shared space, that is created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual reality. It is a vision of a future in which the internet has evolved to become an immersive and interactive space, where people can interact, socialize, and conduct business in a virtual environment that is just as real and engaging as the physical world. The metaverse concept often includes a combination of various features such as virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and blockchain technology.
