“No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative. It gets the people going.” - Chazz Michael Michaels
The Metaverse still remains an amorphous term with no clear definition, although that hasn’t stopped notable individuals or entities from trying their best.
I’ve compiled a variety of best definitions from both companies and individuals at the forefront of this space (bolded = emphasis mine).
“A place where we'll play and connect in 3D.” – Meta
“The future of the internet: A massively-scaled, persistent, interactive, and interoperable real-time platform comprised of interconnected virtual worlds where people can socialize, work, transact, play, and create.” - Coinbase
“A persistent, live digital universe that affords individuals a sense of agency, social presence, and shared spatial awareness, along with the ability to participate in an extensive virtual economy with profound societal impact.” - Pier Kicks, Bitkraft Ventures
