How significant is the influence of the metaverse? Will it change our habits and online activity significantly, or can it be incorporated into the current trajectory of tech development?
The metaverse has the potential to be a game-changer, affecting everything from mobile slots to the latest virtual reality (VR) tech. Technically, we already have the technologies it needs to function, but the main issue holding it back is that many technologies don’t share a common platform.
So, what is the metaverse, exactly? And which technologies need to be integrated for it to succeed?
The metaverse allows its users to create a digital identity. Theoretically, this ‘avatar’ will be able to access any digital platform, regardless of which company owns it. It also allows users to transfer digital assets between these platforms with no restrictions.
For this dream to become a reality, platform developers must embrace integration, which is a tough sell when you consider how competitive the tech industry is.
