How Can We Use the Metaverse to Enhance Our Lives?

The world’s most popular online game, World of Warcraft (WoW), was created by Blizzard Entertainment in 2004. It has been played by more than 100 million people worldwide and has generated over $7 billion in revenue. Blizzard Entertainment is already applying its lessons learned from WoW to new projects within the Metaverse.

‘Metaverse’ was coined by Neal Stephenson, who used it as a theme for his 1992 novel Snow Crash. It’s an idea that an entire virtual reality space will exist where users can interact through avatars or robots. Neal Stephenson envisions that the Metaverse will be “a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of human beings, without any known limits of time or space.

Conclusion: The Future of Facebook’s Virtual Reality World

We should remind ourselves that Facebook is not in the virtual reality business. They are in the advertising business. That is their business model, so they’ll do whatever it takes to make sure they get eyeballs to advertise on.

Facebook’s plans are yet to be seen, but it seems likely that they will continue to explore other applications for their VR technology.
