    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    The metaverse is a convergence of various digital platforms. This convergence is facilitated by a collection of advanced technologies, which are:

    • Blockchain technology: Secure and transparent transactions have become available within the metaverse because of blockchain technology. The decentralized ledgers guarantee that digital assets (e.g., non-fungible tokens) are unique and verifiable by recording all transactions and ownership changes.

    • VR and AR: Both are core technologies that give rise to immersive experiences in the virtual world. Often using headsets, VR technologies create digital environments where users can interact with a computer-generated landscape. On the other hand, AR overlays digital information onto the physical world to enhance real-world experiences with virtual elements.

    • Artificial intelligence: AI plays an integral role in enhancing user interactions and automating various processes in the metaverse. To illustrate, AI-driven chatbots can help users by responding to their questions and providing personalized recommendations.
