Metaverse, I’m sure you’ve probably heard this word somewhere and somehow? Even though the concept of the metaverse is still in its early stage of development, a lot has happened and it has the potential to address some challenges.
2D Metaverse
Designed for conferences & community management (video & audio capabilities)
Light metverse
Up to 25 members: FREE
Free vs Premium Membership
AR (augmented reality)
ETH & Polygon
Concept overview: Over uses augmented reality, a technology capable of adding different types of content to the surrounding environment (video, audio, 2D and 3D), creating the illusion that reality and virtuality live together in the same space. All this is in real-time and from any device with a camera, such as smartphones and smart glasses. This innovation makes it possible to “trace” the elements present in the real world and add other virtual ones. The union between real and digital generates a unique merged experience.
Features:
Avatar to Avatar Voice Chat
In-app text chat (group chat?)
Ability to meet and move in realtime
Ability to meet vitually, take photos together,& record up to 60s at a time
Video sharing/Conferencing/Town Halls? (Do we need a land to set up?)

VR (virtual reality)
Cardano
Concept overview:
Carda Station is a Cardano metaverse set on the moon. The vision of Carda Station is to have a blockchain based, lived-in world where residents and visitors can interact with each other and their novel surroundings as a character in the in-engine environment.
In this moon-based virtual world, you will be able to:
● Own and build on plots of land
● Interact with other players
● Play a variety of games
● Host and attend events
● Interact with/set up a business
Note:
The app is in pre-alpha stage. Currently the metaverse is not optimized. So game becomes very heavy and laggy after the first few interactions. Game UX/UI needs more cleaning up.
Proof of Exploration:
Community Center:
Decentraland (MANA): is a metaverse game developed to mimic reality in 3-D. It is a user-owned playform that exists on the Ethereum blockchain.
The Sandbox (SAND): Sandbox is also a virtual gaming platform developed on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows players to buy, sell, and create digital assets.
Gala (GALA): GALA is popular because of it’s virtual gaming platform, it enables users to earn cryptocurries and NFTs as they play their favorite games. It is also Ethereum-based.
Axie Infinity (AXS): Axie is an NFt based online video game. These Axies can be bred, collected and used to earn other resources and collectibles that can be traded on a marketplace. Important Note: On March 2022, Axie Infinity was attacked by hackers via fake job interviews and it led to the loss of over $620 million in crypto.
Too Early To Test
Many DAOs are already used to using digital platforms such as Discord for communication and decision-making. With the metaverse, DAOs can access to a more interactive environment instead of just using text-based communication channels. The metaverse may be good for decentralized organizations since it can enhance better collaboration among DAOs and their members, they will be able to discuss more easily, propose and vote on various initiatives.
The metaverse is said to improve personalized experience. The metaverse and AI are working hand-in-hand to offer personalized experiences to meet individual needs and interests. The metaverse is addressing the problem of information overload, it’ll sync user interacts with digital content that is relevant and engaging to them.
We can also see that the metaverse is enhancing cross-platform collaboration. Compatibility is a major problem between different platforms and devices. The metaverse has enhanced seamless collaboration and communication across these technologies.
Just as the internet evolved beyond simple websites, we also picture the metaverse as a broader technology and digital space. The potential scope of the metaverse. It is so interesting to see that the digital world and businesses across the globe are now driven and enabled by technologies that aim to reshape human experiences.
Several companies are also developing their versions of the Metaverse, each of these metaverses comes with a unique set of network protocols and cryptocurrencies. In the metaverse, cryptos are used as a means of exchange and store of value in these virtual worlds.
