The term metaverse refers to a general category of 3D worlds, mostly accessible with virtual reality (VR) headsets, that you visit and interact with in real time. Metaverse providers such as Decentraland, Horizon Worlds, The Sandbox, and many others have already created 3D worlds offering communities, entertainment, and a host of activities you can participate in with other users. In recent days, the metaverse has seen a high level of interest as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are being used for added experience delivery on most platforms. In this chapter, I cover the metaverse platforms that exist today, how they differ from each other, and the types of experiences available on a select few of them. At the time of writing this book, more than 150 companies are building metaverse platforms.

When you browse the Internet, you look for websites that suit what you want to accomplish. Today the Internet is a place the majority of us visit to connect with friends, buy or sell goods or services, listen to music or watch a movie. You could be using the Internet to learn something new, attend classes, or book flights for your next vacation. Depending on what you need, you probably visit a host of different websites that get you where you want to go or help you accomplish your goals. The metaverse is new and yet similar to the Internet. As with the Internet, when you “browse the metaverse,” you choose the metaverse world that best suits the activity, or experience, you want to immerse yourself in. You may want to meet friends in your hobby group, learn something new, or enjoy a live concert by your favorite artist. The metaverse offers a wide range of activities and yet not all metaverse worlds are the same or identical.
