One of the most intriguing ideas to have been explored in the cryptosphere is the metaverse. Some industry professionals have been ecstatic about the usability and immersive user experience it offers because it combines two technologies—virtual reality and blockchain. Even Meta’s plan to invest heavily in the newly growing sub-sector makes this clear.
However, there have been some hiccups in the metaverse’s expansion, mostly as a result of the market’s erratic performance in 2017. However, this upcoming year is expected to see a significant upgrading in the immersive business. Even while there are presently blockchain projects that lean in this direction, interesting new ones are spreading the idea around equitably.
Three ideas—mixed, augmented, and virtual realities—have been around for the past five years. The general consensus is that technology should be used to usher people into the next stage of human interaction. These enable users to interact with both computer-generated information and the outside environment more effectively.
By providing shared, immersive, and visually appealing concepts, the metaverse develops this concept further. Even more intriguing is the fact that a group of like-minded people facilitates these virtual environments rather than a central authority.
The IT industry has taken notice of the Metaverse’s potential, with the social media juggernaut being one of its most ardent proponents. This is mainly because of its significant market appeal. A McKinsey market report estimates that $5 trillion in value will be created in the metaverse.
To promote and hasten acceptance, developers are putting this idea into blockchain games. Decentraland, which supports a whole ecosystem of metaverse goods and services, and The Sandbox, which permits games with a metaverse theme, are two significant instances. RobotEra is one of the latest ventures pushing the frontier forward, though.
RobotEra is a metaverse planet-building project that resembles a sandbox. Players are given the duty of recreating a devastated globe while being represented as robots in it. The project is based on a scenario in which Earth is attacked by alien forces, and the resulting struggle results in the world’s destruction.
Players in RobotEra are responsible with gathering resources from the virtual world, managing them, and utilising them to create an entirely new cosmos.
Each player’s robot is distinctively different from the others, and concept and ideation are entirely in the players’ hands. Essentially, every robot on the RobotEra network is a non-fungible token (NFT), and their intrinsic worth is determined by their characteristics.
The RobotEra concept allows for a multiverse dimension of social development, thus it is not just based on the metaverse. Additionally, players have the option to build robot friends and communicate easily with other NFT communities.
Players will be able to attend museums, plan events, and even visit theme parks, allowing for the creation of parallel and real-world-like experiences. In order to foster a sense of community, players can also organise activities that their robot friends can attend. The Metaverse dream is expanding with the advent of The RobotEra, which has the potential to replace Decentraland or The Sandbox. Although the project is still in the presale phase, there is growing optimism about its long-term prospects.
