Defining the Metaverse
According to Chris Madsen, senior engineer for Engage, a professional virtual reality and augmented reality (AR) platform, the Metaverse can be thought of as the "universe" of the virtual world. It's founded on the Internet but is much more expansive, not owned by a single country or corporation. Think of it as the internet's next evolution, where everything that exists in the real world can be found and experienced in a virtual environment. The Metaverse is a vast, interconnected Network of virtual worlds, allowing users to explore, interact, and create their own experiences.
