Knowledge Perks:
At its core, the Metaverse is a virtual and persistent world that exists alongside our physical one. It’s made up of connected digital spaces where people can meet, work, play, shop, create, and even own assets through technologies like blockchain and NFTs.
Unlike the traditional internet where you look at content through a screen, the Metaverse lets you step inside the experience. That could be through a VR headset, AR glasses, or even your phone or computer.
