We don't know anything for sure about the metaverse. Theoretically, it will be an open, shared experience like virtual reality or augmented reality.
But the metaverse is dependent on the entire industry settling on complex technical standards that are not work-in-progress yet.

On November 14, 1994, Microsoftâs Bill Gates dedicated his keynote to âthis next era that weâre moving into.â The buzzword was âinformation superhighwayââthe national high-speed computing network that would revolutionize how consumers shopped, informed and entertained themselves. Gates showed in his on-stage presentation how he saw the futuristic year of 2005.
In October 2021, Zuckerberg showed a spectacular experience the metaverse would unlock, similar to what Gates had done with the information superhighway 27 years earlier.
