FaceBook-MetaVerse.

Metaverse.

The concept is nothing new, though. If you have seen a film like Matrix, or Real Player One, you will easily know what it entails: a virtual reality space that people can enter and access through the use of a gadget or a device. Think of a video game, say Fifa, or Minecraft. The player controls a character or the events on the screen with the help of commands and buttons. Now, what if, instead of sitting at the console and watching the game unfold on the screen, the player could be inside the game, participating not from the outside but as a character embedded in it?


WHAT WILL I BE ABLE TO DO IN THE METAVERSE?

It’s a concept that involves an online world where people can interact with others, collaborate and communicate virtually, without needing to be in the same space. For example, you can be in New Delhi and your family may be in Kolkata, but you could enjoy a dinner together sitting around the same table. It’s like Zoom or Google Meet on steroids. Instead of staring at a screen, you’d be actually seeing your family members across the table. Virtual Reality would be an element of this Metaverse.


HOW WILL IT WORK?

Facebook made its first forays into creating a VR world with the launch in 2019 of Facebook Horizon, an invitation-only immersive environment that users can enter by putting on an Oculus headset. In August, it rolled out Horizon Workrooms, a feature where co-workers wearing VR headsets can hold meetings in a virtual room where they all appear as cartoonish 3D versions of themselves.
