DECRYPTION - Silicon Valley wants to bring to life this concept of persistent virtual world imagined by science fiction.


Imagine crossing your computer screen to find yourself "in" the Internet.

Imagine this virtual universe parallel to ours where millions of humans would connect to entertain, exchange, live experiences impossible in the real world, but also work, consume and invest.

Imagine being able to chat with friends from all over the world feeling like they are right next to you.

This technological fantasy is called the “metaverse”.

He is the new horizon of Silicon Valley.

The concept of “metaverse” was brought to the fore at the end of July by Mark Zuckerberg.

In an interview with the media The Verge, the founder of Facebook detailed his ambitions to design the connected platform of the future that will supplant smartphones.

"In five years, I think that we will stop perceiving us as a group that makes social networks, and that we will be seen more as a company of the" metaverse ","

said the CEO.
