Like the internet, the metaverse will help you connect with people when you aren't physically in the same place and get us even closer to that feeling of being together in person. You'll be able to work, play, learn and shop.

Many companies or advocates refer to any single game or platform as " a metaverse." By this definition, anything from a VR concert app to a video game would count as a metaverse.

In science fiction, the "metaverse" is a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal, and immersive virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. In colloquial usage, a "metaverse" is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection.
