The Metaverse promises a new kind of internet capable of integrating real-world events and online sources into a seamless user experience. While it's often billed as 'just' a VR concept to users, it's something far more complex and interesting to technology companies and developers with an eye on the future.
The concepts offered as part of the Metaverse's future offerings could solve some of the web's biggest challenges. Improved interactions, identity verifications, and transactions that span both virtual and physical worlds will change how we think about the web from the ground up. However, each of these tasks raises enormous practical challenges for the designers, developers, and engineers tasked with building it.
