Metaverse (emerging concept)

The Metaverse is a virtual world that is linked and created by technological means, and is a virtual world that maps and interacts with the real world, a digital living space with a new social system. It integrates a new type of Internet application and social form that integrates virtual and reality generated by a variety of new technologies. It provides an immersive experience based on extended reality technology, generates a mirror of the real world based on digital twin technology, and builds an economic system based on blockchain technology. The virtual world and the real world are closely integrated in the economic system, social system, and identity system, and each user is allowed to produce content and edit the world. The Metaverse is essentially the process of virtualizing and digitizing the real world, which requires a lot of transformations in content production, economic systems, user experience, and physical world content. However, the development of the Metaverse is gradual, supported by shared infrastructure, standards and protocols, and is finally formed by the continuous integration and evolution of numerous tools and platforms.
