The Metaverse has continued to impact more and more people in the world to the point that it is one of the most innovative technologies of this century. By definition the Metaverse is a virtual-reality in which people can interact with other people in a completely computer-generated world.

Metaverses allow people to build their own world, with the possibility of monetizing parts of it. Some organisations specialise in sales experiences and services in the Metaverse by allowing customers to attend events or meetings. It can also be used for gaming, work or development purposes.
