metaverse (mɛtəvɜː(ɹ)s)

The Metaverse is created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space. Conceptually, it is a future iteration of the internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D places linked into a perceived virtual universe.[1]

OUR MISSION
