Metaverse
You’ve probably heard of the multiverse – the scientific theory of multiple, parallel universes. Semiconductor company Nvidia and others like Roblox are taking that idea and looking at how to turn it into reality – or, to be more precise, into virtual reality. Nvidia’s vision of what they call a metaverse is a digital twin – an identical computer-based replica - for everything in our world. This means that the buildings and factories of every city will have a digital twin that will simulate and track the physical version of it. Initially, this will be for gaming, but other possibilities are endless.
