Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a thorough explanation of how the technology behind metaverse and other virtual reality is changing the world. The primary objective is to present the revolutionary innovation of the 21st Century--the metaverse--and exhibit its wide range of applications in different domains. Although blockchain and VR/AR were the first popularly known applications of the metaverse, several other applications also exist. While some still believe the metaverse is overhyped, in reality, it is transforming almost every industry--healthcare, 3D, 4D, industry, game industry, business management, artificial intelligence, and IoT, just to name a few. This technological breakthrough not only paved the way for virtual reality but provides useful solutions for other areas of technology. The unique nature of the technology, which is a single, shared, immersive, persistent, 3D virtual space where humans experience life in ways not possible in the physical world, makes it suitable for all real-world applications. The technology has great potential to transform business, and companies are already in the race for different product offerings
