How to Build a Better Virtual World
Metaverse, a concept of a massive virtual world where all people can access anything, anytime and anywhere. It is an open shared space where everyone has been able to create things, trade goods and services, connect with each other and interact in real-time with no boundaries of time or space. The word “metaverse” was originally coined by short science fiction novelist Neal Stephenson in 1992 novel Snow Crash.
The Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space, including the sum of all virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the internet.
The metaverse is not just a digital replica of the real world. It’s also a place where you can have completely different experiences than in your own physical realm—you can fly like Superman or jump like Spiderman if you want to! The possibilities are endless when it comes to what you can do in this world. It's up to each person who enters whether they want to play games or socialize with friends from around the globe. There are no limitations on what kinds of activities exist within The virtual reality; anything that people can dream up could potentially become part of it.
What is the Metaverse? | What Is Virtual World?
The Metaverse is a virtual world which is persistent, shared, and owned by the users.
It’s not just a place where you can create avatars and hang out with friends in a virtual environment: it’s also an open-ended platform for people to build their own experiences and applications within this virtual space.
In other words: it's like the Internet but better!
A virtual world is a computer-based simulated environment in which people engage in various activities. Virtual worlds allow for multiple users to connect and interact with each other within a virtual space, often resembling reality and sometimes having some influence on reality. The most popular types of virtual worlds are massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), which were first introduced in the 1990s by Linden Lab and spread to other companies like Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and Blizzard Entertainment.
Enabling Technologies
Enabling technologies are the building blocks of a virtual world.
- The first is blockchain technology, which enables trustless transactions without the need for intermediaries such as banks or government institutions. It also allows users to pay each other directly by exchanging cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin.
- Second is mesh networking technology that allows people to connect their devices directly to each other without going through central servers or ISPs (Internet Service Providers). This allows users to create ad-hoc networks with no central control point, enabling them to share data within their community without any third party including governments having access - in theory at least!
- Thirdly we have virtual reality devices such as Oculus Rift and HTC Vive which enable users experience digital worlds in real time via headsets like these ones below:
The Metaverse Requirements
The Metaverse is a virtual world built on top of the Internet. It's not as far off in the future as you might think!
The Meta/virtual world is a shared, persistent, 3D environment that combines our current internet with immersive real-time 3D avatars and voice chat. Imagine being able to meet people from all over the world with nothing more than your smartphone or VR headset—and you can do it every day!
While The Metaverse isn't virtual reality (yet), it does have similarities: both involve digital data and simulations of physical space. A metaverse is a large scale version of Second Life, where users can create their own experiences within this simulated universe. In contrast to Minecraft and other sandbox games where players build their own worlds from scratch—in The Metavrese, everything already exists; users just need permission to access certain areas based on permissions settings defined by owners who control them (like creators do now).
Rules
Virtual worlds can be very immersive, but the use of rules is still necessary for safety and security. Rules should be clear and easy to understand, consistent across all users, enforced fairly and consistently, flexible enough to allow for different experiences in different areas of the virtual world, scalable so they can grow with your world's population without becoming too complex or difficult to enforce. For example,
If you have a school where students learn about anatomy by dissecting virtual pigs together (like Second Life’s University of Applied Sciences), it might make sense for some schools to have stricter rules than others when it comes to what kids are allowed to do on campus. If someone breaks a rule in their metaverse that they wouldn't break outside of it—say because they were told not
to kill other players—it would go against your goal as an architect: creating an experience that feels real enough that people will act as though
they're not just playing with pixels on their computer screens.>>>Continue Reading<<<
