Hyderabad: What started as a fictional concept in 1992 is slowly becoming a reality albeit in the virtual world.
Metaverse, which was first coined by Neal Stephenson in his fictional book Snow Crash has over the past few years gained prominence thanks to Facebook which has transformed into Meta. The Facebooks, Microsofts and the Apples of the world have already ventured into this, and now, smaller companies and startups are also getting into this niche space.
The concept of real humans interacting and communicating in a virtual scenario was always part of the fiction world with movies and books depicting this through visual effects and graphics. But now, it has become part of the real world with many companies using the same graphics and visual effects showcasing a virtual avatar of a real person.
In simpler terms, Metaverse is an online/virtual world wherein human avatars connect either by way of playing games, buying and selling things, participating in similar interest events, or just being an audience for an event of their choice. Many consider the Metaverse an extension of the internet wherein people can now communicate with each other not just through texts or images or videos but also through their virtual avatars.
With this way of communication also came the need for developing a currency for the digital world through which humans could shop, buy tickets or just collect different things. Thus, came into being the digital currency in different forms like bitcoins, cryptocurrency, and others.
While some of the Metaverse can be accessed through one’s computer by logging into the virtual world which will create ones virtual avatar, some might also need external gadgets like the virtual reality (VR) headset to have a fully immersive experience. So, all the above put together cryptocurrency, bitcoins, VR, augmented reality, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and blockchain is what constitutes an evolved Metaverse.
A Mckinsey report says, “The metaverse like many innovations is shrouded in mysticism and skepticism. Proponents believe that the Metaverse will be revolutionary and fully transform the way we work, shop, socialise, and play. Others are more skeptical and see a hype-fueled fad that appeals to gamers and celebrities. �?
Bandwidth Requirements
While the bandwidth requirement for Metaverse might vary according to the usage, many believe that a typical bandwidth of 2 and 5Gbps would be needed. A report by Credit Suisse also mentioned that this network of three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds focused on social connections would push data consumption by 20 times in the next 10 years across the globe. The report suggests that the 5G service already supports the Metaverse ecosystem, but the emergence of 6G in the coming years would further enhance its usage.
