Description:
Metaverse merges physical reality with digital virtuality, constructing a 3D virtual network based on hardware equipment and interaction technologies such as virtual reality and augmented reality. It is an interconnected web of social in an immersive Internet environment, which breaks the temporal and spatial limitations of traditional social media, providing a virtual platform for multi-person real-time interaction, such as meetings, games, and collaboration.
