But what is this Metaverse everyone is so pumped about?
Virtual Reality is key for the Metaverse
Seeing is believing, even in the Metaverse. It is hard to imagine an alternate world without it being fully immersive and multi-dimensional. Where interacting with the meta-physical landscapes, inventory, objects, and digital assets in real-time is possible. And this is why Virtual Reality is an inseparable technology for the Metaverse.
It may even be fair to say that what sunlight is to the physical earth, Virtual Reality is to the Metaverse: making the world visible! Both have to coexist to enable life – in this case, a virtual life.

VRdirect is the dooropener to the Metaverse
Companies worldwide are wondering, how to tap this new technology frontier. Oftentimes it seems, that entering the Metaverse requires creating entirely new 3D-modelled worlds or sophisticated avatars to collaborate in real-time, heavy lifting in terms of hardware and quite some expertise and personal skills to even get started.
Hence, many companies find the shift to Virtual Reality tedious, both effort and investment-wise, not knowing that there are solutions that make the transition effortless, without heavy investment.

How far are we from Metaverse?
Metaverse is not something that a single company can build. It will take time and joint efforts of companies, individuals, and decentralized networks worldwide powered by technologies such as Blockchain, high-speed Internet and edge computing in combination with Augmented and Virtual Reality.
And to those who may argue that an alternate world is still long way to go, we may retort that they may still be living in the ’80s. If we look around, there is a mass exodus from office desks to work-from-home culture. And with social media now fully integrated into our daily routine, there is a shift in how we live today. And take into account the technological advancements in Artificial Intelligence, the introduction of ARM chips, the advent of digital currencies and NFTs, surreal gaming engines, and Virtual Reality powered events; all the elements to nourish an alternate digital world are right in front of us, the only thing left to do is to find the courage to get started!
Yet to some, the concept of Metaverse may seem foolhardy, but so were the ideas of stellar travel, self-driving cars, or even the internet until someone came along to make them a reality.
