Part 7/13:
Augmented Reality (AR): Overlaying digital information on reality through devices or even text.
3D Virtual Worlds: Environments like games or social spaces that users can inhabit.
The core idea is the creation of a parallel plane of existence, a new digital space for cohabitation, socializing, and interaction.
Interoperability: The Glue of the Ecosystem
Interoperability is perhaps the most complex yet vital aspect of the Metaverse. It ensures that assets—like digital objects, identities, or currencies—can move freely across different platforms. Without this, users would be confined within siloed worlds, unable to carry their digital possessions, identities, or histories beyond one environment.
