New playing field Metaverse - the fusion of parallel worlds

Metaverse vs. the real world: immersing yourself in a completely different sphere, blurring reality and the virtual and entering a world that allows you to take on a completely different personality. This "escape from the real world" could be a romantic, simple idea of the metaverse, but it is much more than that. The existence of the metaverse drastically changes the way we perceive, connect and interact with the world around us. Augmented and virtual reality as well as other digital technologies serve as a portal into a parallel world that is already larger and, according to the authors, will be more significant in the future than the WWW and book printing combined. The digital "self", a so-called avatar, must be created. From then on, you don't just move around in this immersive, digital world, you actively participate in it. Buying virtual properties and services, practising a profession to earn virtual money, drinking coffee in decentralized, specially created worlds and rooms and much more is possible. There seem to be no limits to creativity, the variety of worlds and the possibilities for interaction. The encounters and actions take place virtually, while the actual communication and economic opportunities are completely real.
