Metaverse Is the evolution of social interactions and will be present in every aspect of society. This will range from personal interactions to business-like ones. These interactions won’t take place only in a physical environment but in a mixed reality (XR) one where the digital world collides with the physical world. These interactions are not the only ones related to leisure and gaming, this will include professional and commercial interactions. For that reason, we need to represent the people that are not physically present with some sort of avatars and allow those avatars to interact with the physical environment and interact with other people in real-time. That will give people not physically there a sense of “presence”. This will make possible the interoperability between the physical world and the virtual world. To achieve this, we need to create those avatars in a way that represents uniquely each person who will interact with and in the metaverse. The main challenge we face when creating these avatars is to give a sense of “presence” to the user on both parts of the metaverse, the digital and the physical one. This will enable the interactions between users and avatars to seem real. On the other hand, to provide professional and commercial interactions a safe and trusted environment should be provided, this is where decentralization comes into action. Blockchain technologies enable a trustworthy economical environment. Nowadays companies like Meta, formerly Facebook, are investing heavily in creating this metaverse to allow their users to interact with each other in a virtual world using VR technologies. We can find some other examples like Decentraland, Sandbox, or Pavia that focus only on creating a digital world where people can only interact through their avatars and it has no effect on the physical world. These metaverses are leveraging blockchain technology to create assets that people can own, manipulate and exchange with each other. The digital goods are represented as NFTs, and they can be purchased with the digital currency of each metaverse.Jon Randoff's layers of the MetaverseReferences: https://decentraland.org/ https://www.sandbox.game/en/ https://www.pavia.io/ https://readyplayer.me/ https://medium.com/building-the-metaverse/the-metaverse-value-chain-afcf9e09e3a7 RNDR distributed GPU rendering Blockchain https://opensource.com/article/22/1/open-source-metaverse https://www.matthewball.vc/all/themetaverse
