Istanbul Gelisim University IISBF SosyoCom: Monthly Events and News Bulletin (Issue: 13, January 2022)

The metaverse can be defined as an online virtual world or a digital universe that includes augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D holographic avatars, video, and other means of communication. The meta world can include an augmented reality that combines features of the physical and virtual worlds, and a virtual world where time flows even when one is not in that world. As the metadata repository expands, this universe is expected to offer a hyper-real alternative world. Moreover, it is suspected that other activities such as attending concerts and conference, traveling the world, shopping, and socializing will also be carried out on the metaverse in the future.
