WHAT IS METAVERSE?

As referred to by the geniuses of tech circles, Metaverse is the next big revolution that will take place and will be the true successor to the brilliance of the internet. But you may be wondering what it will look like?

And the most straightforward answer to this query is that it will look like a virtual world.

Everyone will have their avatars, and just like in real life, we would have to do everything we do for ourselves for our avatars, like shopping for them clothing them, and much more.

Now you may be wondering what prompted Facebook to take such a drastic step, and the answer is two words Covid-19.

When the pandemic started, the whole world was stuck in their homes, in this period we even worked from our homes, and a lot of the companies in this duration realized that we could work if not better as efficiently as we do in person.

And this mode also has a lot of benefits like less travel, environment friendly and whatnot. So being the pioneer that they are, Facebook decided to accelerate its metaverse program. Through this, they can offer the world a constant and revolutionary option to work from home.

They have even thought about the only drawback that people constantly felt throughout the pandemic, which was the loneliness of being alone, as people enjoyed the benefit of working from home, having no commute, and various other benefits.

But the things that they truly missed was the interaction that they had with their Co-workers, the morning coffee, the office lunches, and the banter on the water cooler. But to give this immersive experience, Facebook has decided to create augmented reality glasses, which, when worn, will provide you with the sensation of being with your colleagues and not at your home.

But when such drastic measures are taken, deciding if they are suitable for you or not is only simplified by their Pros and cons and that is precisely what we have done, go through them thoroughly so you can decide for yourself regarding are they the next evolution or not.

Just imagining telling your great-grandparent that one day you will be able to talk to someone or see them on video through your phone is a wild idea. And it would have been for them as they wouldn’t have believed you at all.

But in 2023, this is the norm. And for the past two years, this has been our reality every single day. This is how we interact with each other regardless of whether it is for personal or professional reasons. So believing that Metaverse will be a reality and the next marketing evolution will take place, there is not a far-fetched thought according to many who believe in the power of modern technology.

The virtual world where virtual marketing will take place the more you think about it seems like a plausible reality and the brands that will adopt and move toward this idea as quickly will be of the maximum benefit.
