Metaverse — really next chapter? Or even something more?

 Perhaps our time will go down in history as the moment when our civilization moves on to the next phase. S😎 far, of course, it still sounds a little strange to us, but it seems that we are indeed becoming a virtual civilization. We still perceive it only as a game, but now this process has received a decisive boost of support in the form of a connection to awesome blockchain technologies. I probably don't even need to explain anymore that blockchain is a form of implementing direct ('p2p' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer) interactions between active agents. Including people, or, for example, IoT devices etc.

For everyone for whom creativity is a way of life, or at least who dreams about it, this is good news. It gives us hope for a chance to become financially independent and make our lives much more interesting. It also gives us a chance to make new friends more easily and to feel resonated with them in exciting collaborations. There are already many exciting projects and new ones are constantly emerging. It's easy to find the latest information about them in places like this: https://nftplazas.com/metaverse-news/. In short, the term 'Metaverse' means mixing our usual, 'molecular', reality with virtual. Perhaps it's indeed a transitional phase for us as a civilization.

It is also positive that similar projects are appearing for the big players. For example, after 'Meta' (former 'Facebook') announced its program, the capitalization of some projects, such as 'Decentraland', 'Sanbox' etc. doubled! Announcements already have been put forth by Microsoft and other serious IT industry members. But at least a half of big game developers will insert cryptoeconomy into their projects. And also representatives of other industries such as Amazon, Wallmart, Burger King, Nike, Addidas etc. make statements about this. Of course, the best is yet to come. That's the beauty of the moment! From the looks of things, the technology will still evolve. 'zX' wrote a few words about it on our blog (https://convexproject.blogspot.com/2021/10/vertex-colors-interesting-problems-of.html), dedicated more to technology than to dreams:)

There's also already a post there about the basic principles of 3D virtuality: https://convexproject.blogspot.com/2020/06/what-really-is-3d.html. I hope it's easy to understand and suitable for those who are not very familiar with it, as well as for those who are a little bit familiar with the subject.
