METAVERSE & NFT: A NEW WORLD FOR GAME DESIGNERS & DEVELOPERS

Category: Web Design

Imagine the internet, which we use daily to play games with our pals or make online purchases. The entire internet experience that we currently have is basically 2D. At the same time, some of the applications which we often use have 3D components. The concept of Metaverse gaming improves the whole internet experience to a 3D world where the users can interact with each other through their avatars and the virtual world around them using modern HCI (human-computer interaction) software and hardware. The Metaverse is not a newly created word, and it was originated in 1992. Author Neal Stephenson invented the term first time in his fiction novel “Snow Crash”, imagining avatars who can meet and talk in a digital space. It is a combination of various technologies such as virtual reality, machine learning, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. Players can use this technology to develop a virtual identity and enter the digital world. They can have a captivating experience by adapting to their surroundings rather than focusing on a flat-screen. Metaverse gaming gives an illusion of you being part of the virtual world in real life. NFTs, on the other hand, are a new class of digital assets that is one-of-a-kind, valuable, immutable, and indivisible. They show the ownership of virtual assets like weapons, costumes, avatars, and many more. Nob-fungible tokens are safely stored on a blockchain technology behind cryptocurrencies. The NFTs technology plays a vital role in Metaverse development. Once you buy a specific virtual object, you own a token that is certified on a blockchain and establish your connection with the virtual asset.
