Metaverse is a a popular topic now. the idea of metaverse first appeared in a novel called snow crash, published in 1992. It is an old idea, but what stops people from creating it? To create a metaverse, you would need a powerful network system and a sever with enough process power to run the graphics, AI, and physics. Under graphics and physics, you would need to calculate texture and lighting. with our technology right now, realistic real time rendering is still to advanced for us. Other than that, 5G network might able to handle the amount of data transfer in the metaverse. Therefore, metaverse might be a bit too early for us to archive.
With metaverse, our web will evolve from web 2.0 to web 3.0. In web 2.0, people can only upload content to the internet via a intermediate website. For example, YouTube’s sever would allow people to upload content using its services and let people browser from it. In web 3.0, uploading content would not require a intermediate anymore because of blockchain. By doing that, the you will not have to share your copy to others. Even if people manage to create a replica of you content, it won’t have the same value because the value of that item is store inside of that code of blockchain. This create NFT. Since from there on, no one would need a intermediate to organize their property, the power of banks and countries might get threaten. Will you invest your money in NFT in the future?
