What is metaverse
This term describes the concept of a virtual world in which people can meet, work and do virtually everything in real life, with the difference that it is a digital representation.
There is no fully functioning metaverse reality yet, but a very similar experience can be obtained by participating in computer games. Probably the metaverse will be a much more extended world, allowing you to carry out many life activities in front of your computer screen.
Cryptocurrencies , blockchain technology or the NFT non-convertible tokens created on their basis can perfectly fit into the approaching reality of metaverse .
It should be noted that the world's great giants, such as Facebook, which has recently meaningfully changed its name to Meta, are the ones who pave the way for creating a reality that may soon replace our real life to a large extent. The world of cryptocurrencies has been buzzing for months with news related to the metaverse, from research conducted to plots bought in the virtual world for millions of dollars.
The concept of metaverse was first introduced in 1992 in the sci-fiction novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Created as a fiction, the metaverse will most likely become our real reality soon.
Metaverse by Meta Zuckerberg
Meta, known to everyone as Facebook, has announced the launch of a new supercomputer for artificial intelligence research, which will consequently be the next step in building a new metaverse platform.
Designed by Meta, the supercomputer AI Research SuperCluster (RSC) is, according to its creators, the most powerful machine of this type in the world. The computer is one of the fastest and most advanced research tools for artificial intelligence (AI). The RSC has been designed in such a way as to be able to analyze a huge amount of data in a short time, construct billions of models, and easily analyze text, images and video in hundreds of different languages.
The decision to build a new computing infrastructure was made by Facebook at the beginning of 2020, of course, research and development of earlier versions of computing platforms of this type have been going on for many good years. To make users more aware of the power of the infrastructure being built, Meta used this comparison: "We wanted this infrastructure to be able to train models with more than a trillion parameters on data sets of one exabyte - which, to provide a sense of scale, corresponds to 36,000 years of high-quality video. . "
Chinese metaverse
It didn't take long for a response from the Chinese to have their own metaverse world. A platform called Xi Rang is created by Baidu, which is the Chinese equivalent of the Google search engine. There are significant differences between the metaverse created by Meta and the Chinese one, which does not change the fact that the purpose of both is exactly the same: transferring real life to the virtual sphere.
