The concept of a metaverse, a three-dimensional virtual world, was first introduced in the 1992 novel "Snow Crash" and has since moved from fiction to reality. The Acceleration Studies Foundation published a roadmap in 2007, which categorized the four main types of metaverse as augmented reality, mirror world, lifelogging, and virtual world. The advancements in technology and standards for immersive media, such as VR, AR, and MR, in the 2010s, have made a more realistic metaverse possible. The rise of blockchain and AI in late 2017 has prompted global companies to invest in the metaverse with the vision of a connected virtual world that functions as a social and economic ecosystem, rather than just a simple virtual experience space. Today's metaverse is more than just a virtual experience space, it is a social and economic ecosystem that is constantly evolving.
