The metaverse can be defined as a simulated digital environment that uses augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain, along with concepts from social media, to create spaces for rich user interaction mimicking the real world. Or In simple Words we can say that Metaverse is a virtual platform where real people use 3D avatars or characters to represent themselves, connect with other people in the form of their 3D avatars, share digital spaces, own and transact digital properties, and collaborate with one another, from anywhere in the world, via gadgets and devices.
