Ready Player One: The Metaverse

The Metaverse is a visual network of virtual environments where people can interact via their avatars. 

If online multiplayer video games are combined with immersive virtual reality and high-speed internet, we can begin to understand the Metaverse.

The metaverse has been in the science fiction realm for ages, but it is only now that Big Tech envisions it as the future internet, with companies like Facebook wanting to set up an immersive, 3D/virtual ecosystem for people to work, play, study and shop.
