OpenSims & Metaverses

The metaverse is a vision for the next internet: a persistent, shared, 3D virtual space where users, represented by avatars, can interact socially, work, play, and conduct commerce, merging physical and digital realities through technologies like VR/AR, creating an interoperable, immersive digital world. It’s essentially a network of interconnected virtual worlds, moving beyond 2D screens to fully immersive experiences, with its roots in science fiction like Neal Stephenson‘s Snow Crash.
