Context
The Interpol launched the first-ever metaverse specifically designed for law enforcement agencies worldwide during its 90th General Assembly in Delhi.
What is Metaverse?
- The metaverse is a 3D version of the Internet and computing at large.
|
In his 1992 science fiction novel “Snow Crash,” Author Neal Stephenson coined the term “metaverse” in which he envisioned lifelike avatars who met in realistic 3D buildings and other virtual reality environments. |
- The intent of the metaverse is to give users the power to create their own experiences and also to interact with others in these spaces, and even collaborate with each other.
- The metaverse combines aspects of physical reality, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), social media, online gaming, and cryptocurrencies, allowing users to interact virtually.
