Do you ever imagine being able to go from one country to another without having to catch a flight or any vehicles, or attend office meetings, concerts, or parties from anywhere in the world? These are a few use cases of Metaverse but Metaverse has a huge application in our professional as well as personal life and this is going to happen very soon. 

The metaverse is a shared online space, combining physical, augmented, and virtual reality. The term “metaverse” originated in the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash as a portmanteau of “meta” and “universe.” Recent interest in metaverse development is influenced by Web3, a concept for a decentralized iteration of the internet.

The global metaverse market was valued at $209.77 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to $716.5 billion by 2027 at a compound annual growth rate of 22.7%, according to the Brandessence Market Research report.
