How Do You Access Metaverse?

By Vishakha Thakur

Metaverse is a new and developing virtual world where users can do many of the same things they do in real life. Metaverse behaves similarly to the universe, with planets that aren’t connected but are linked to a universal system. Avatars are required for users to socialise, play, attend concerts, and shop. The fundamental distinction between the metaverse and online worlds is that the metaverse invites you inside for a more authentic experience rather than being an outsider looking at a screen. For the finest experience, you’ll need specialised equipment.

How can we access metaverse?

It is not necessary to have a lot of technical equipment to access the metaverse. A smartphone can connect to the metaverse, although its capabilities may be limited. You will also require the following devices:

• Computer: Your experience will be enhanced if you have a computer with good graphics and memory.
• Gaming console: An immersive experience can be provided through a gaming console.
• Virtual reality headset: You will need a virtual reality headset and hand-operated controllers. 
• Augmented reality glasses: Augmented reality glasses can be used to enhance the virtual reality experience.  

While you don’t need anything more than a computer or a smartphone, the extra equipment can improve your virtual experience. New equipment may become accessible as the metaverse expands.

Types of avatars in metaverse

One of the most important things to have in order to access the metaverse is an avatar. The avatar might be you or whatever you want to represent yourself. The avatar represents your digital identity and might be static or animated. Because not all metaverse worlds utilise the same avatar, it’s useful to understand the many types:

• 2D: The flat 2D avatar is used in 2D environments. They’re popular on social media and other sites.  
• 3D: A 3D avatar can be viewed from many angles. It is more realistic and is meant to be a replica of the user.
• VR: The virtual reality avatar is not a full-body representation. The avatar is missing lower limbs. Your avatar will be able to utilise his or her hands, but only on the upper body.
• Full-body: The upper and lower bodies are both moved by the full-body avatar. While they are not currently employed in many metaverse worlds, they may have wider use in the future.

You can alter your characteristics and personalise your avatar at any time. You may need to adjust your avatar for the various metaverse planets depending on your type. Some may be limited to half-body or 2D avatars. There are several options for creating avatars. Some metaverse worlds allow you to design your own avatar on their platforms. Many avatar customisation programmes are available or in development; choose one that meets your needs as well as the specifications of the metaverse realms. There are avatar apps for creating game avatars as well as those for commercial or social realms. Prices vary according to the application and feature set.

What can you do in metaverse?

Although the metaverse is still in its early stages, numerous alternatives are already available. Opportunities to explore existing worlds abound, from gaming to concerts to working in the metaverse. 

Work in Metaverse

More employment will become accessible as the metaverse expands. Most new professions will require technical knowledge, but some will not. There are numerous jobs available in the metaverse, such as virtual fashion designer, interior designer, game developer, and so on. 

Play games

Metaverse gaming is becoming increasingly popular. You can also play games to gain rewards in the metaverse. Roblox, Axie Infinity, Sandbox, and Decentraland are some of the most popular game platforms in the metaverse.

Attend events

Concerts, trade exhibits, and business gatherings are available in the metaverse. Job fairs, virtual graduations, and gaming events are also available.
