Previously, the only means of live broadcast was through television channels, which only large media companies like news networks, television production companies, talk shows and sports associations had access to.
For the first time, users could create social profiles, comment and react to articles and videos and receive responses from the creators. The burgeoning of these platforms saw unprecedented engagement between users, businesses and content creators. Then in the early 2000s, Web2 gave rise to social media giants like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube. Communication was unidirectional from websites to readers. When the internet started, websites served solely as a provider of information. The rise of social media and online engagement
If the metaverse can have such a high level of engagement for games, one can fathom the potential for applications for e-commerce, social media, real estate, live streaming and more. If Pokémon GO were to be a DeFi P2E game built on blockchain technology, it would even be possible for players to trade their caught Pokémon for in-game tokens using Web3 crypto wallets. I have vividly etched memories of hordes of players dashing toward a nearby park or mall after sighting a rare Pokémon that was the epitome of how a virtual space can affect the physical world. Players had to be present at physical locations to catch Pokémon, battle at gyms or battle each other. The most notable example of an early-stage metaverse would be Pokémon GO in 2016. Hence, the metaverse does not exclusively pertain to virtual reality but also augmented reality. Therefore, the metaverse is not simply a 3D virtual world, but rather a “metaspace” that interweaves both physical and virtual environments what is done in the physical world can affect the associated virtual space and vice versa. But if that is the case, then wouldn’t any game played on a VR headset be considered a metaverse? There is a naive perception that the metaverse is just a 3D virtual world that you enter through VR goggles.
This demonstration of a virtual utopia captured the imagination of many, providing a glimpse into the hyper-realistic interactions of a metaverse.
