• "Hello, everyone! I’m Yuri Rahmanto.
• Welcome to today's video as we embark on a
comprehensive journey to explore and define the
Metaverse.
• In this insightful overview, we will delve into the
core questions surrounding the Metaverse,
examining its definition, historical context, and the
key technologies that shape its existence.
Let's start from What is the Metaverse?
The Metaverse is a virtual reality space where
users can interact with a computer-generated
environment and other users. It is an immersive
and interactive digital world that can be accessed
through virtual reality headsets, computers, and
mobile devices.
Ok, Next, Historical Context

The concept of the Metaverse has its roots in

science fiction literature and has been
popularized by books, movies, and video
games. It represents a virtual reality space
where people can live, work, and play.
So what's the key technology needed in the
metaverse?

The Metaverse is made possible by several

key technologies that work together to
create a seamless and immersive virtual
experience for users.
Ok, we talk about Technologies Enabling the
Metaverse
1. Virtual Reality (VR)
Immersive technology that creates a simulated
environment, allowing users to interact with a virtual
world.
2. Augmented Reality (AR)
Overlaying digital information onto the real world,
enhancing the user's perception and interaction with
their environment.
