What are the challenges likely to occur in Metaverse

 

Metaverse the term was first coined by Neal Stephenson in his book "Snow Crash" where people escape into the 3D virtual world with their digital avatars. But in recent times "Metaverse" is creating high technological waves in the tech industry and everyone is talking about it.

What is the Metaverse?

It is a 3D virtual world where people can engage with each other in a computer-generated environment.  Metaverse technology has gained a massive rise after Facebook changed its name to "Meta". The Metaverse virtual world connects various communities, products, workspaces, entertainment, and creators.     

Metaverse allows users to move from 2D environments to immersive and interactive 3D environments with the idea to combine our physical and digital life. The Metaverse is an ungoverned virtual space with no physical boundaries, open to anyone, and has no rules of any kind. Metaverse is the user experience generated by various technologies such as Virtual Reality(VR), Augmented Reality(AR), Blockchain, and NFT.  The Metaverse market size is expected to grow to around $ 758.6 billion by the end of 2026.

Challenges in the Metaverse

1. Hardware

The majority of the VR, AR, and XR devices are extremely important for Metaverse.  These devices are not portable and are expensive to be widely used. The difficulty lies in having high-quality and high-performance models that can reach the proper retina display and pixel density for a realistic virtual immersion with hardware accessibility.

2. Identity

When it comes to the real world personal identification is very simple. However, while discussing virtual worlds or the Metaverse, one can query what constitutes a person's identity and how to demonstrate your identity if a human impersonator or even a machine tries to imitate you. The ability to fake face characteristics, video, and voice is the key difficulty thus new verification techniques are to be created in the future.

3. Data and Security

Although businesses and organizations continue to innovate their IT security systems users of any online environment have long been concerned about data privacy and security. When entering the Metaverse security procedures need to be advanced to an entirely new level to keep up with the Metaverse's constant expansion. To secure the security of one's identity and assets in the virtual world, new techniques of personal data and privacy protection will need to be developed.

4. Legacy

If no legislation or virtual authority is formed, it may leave individuals susceptible even though it affords them the chance to communicate and forge relationships. Intellectual property ownership is a potential legal concern. Because a work must be created by a human to be considered copyrightable, creations developed by AI might not be protected by intellectual property laws. The content creators will find it difficult to protect their intellectual property.

5. Currency and Payments

Bitcoins have been with us for a decade. Metaverse will have its currency that takes on a virtual marketplace that links several real-world and digital currencies to facilitate quick and simple trading. No matter the type of money or marketplace it should be extremely important to create a novel new method for transaction verification.

6. Addiction and Mental Health

You will understand exactly how the metaverse can impact your mental health if you've seen "Ready Player One". Addiction to the virtual world can result in obesity and cardiac problems owing to an inactive, in addition to mental health issues including sadness and anxiety.

Conclusion

Many of the terms and concepts that were previously linked to sci-fi and fantasy novels are brought to reality with the new technological revolution. Metaverse will continue to develop with more challenges in every stage of development. Many organizations and developers are working very hard to bring the virtual world to reality.

We are a long way from the well-integrated Metaverse platforms with a wide range of useful apps and devices. There will be tons of learning opportunities that will provide businesses the chance to be prepared for this platform and turn the obstacles into something of great value in the future.
