Right now, the metaverse highly depends on VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality) technologies and devices. Since most of these are not lightweight, portable, or affordable, metaverse cannot have a wide-scale adoption.
Apart from hardware accessibility, the challenge lies in having high-quality and high-performance models that can achieve the right retina display and pixel density for a realistic virtual immersion.
Have you ever wondered if your social media friend is as interesting as online in real life too? The same thing might happen with metaverse as you will be accessing it through your avatars.
Another problem lies in proving your identity as bots can easily mimic your style, data, personality, and whole identity. You will need different verification methods like facial scans, retina scans, and voice recognition for authentication.
If you have watched Ready Player One, you know exactly how metaverse can affect your mental health. Addiction to the virtual world might not only lead to mental health problems like depression, and anxiety but cause obesity and heart problems due to the sedentary lifestyle.
We often hear about some MNC having a data breach. Metaverse will be storing more than your email addresses and passwords. It will store your behaviors too. With a huge data mine, the technology needs to ensure information privacy and personal data security for every user. This will require new security strategies.
Metaverse will not be limited to gaming. It will be another online marketplace connecting billions of users around the world. With so many currencies and different cryptocurrencies, there will be a need for quick and effortless exchanges. Not to mention secure transactions.
With social media already witnessing virtual crimes, metaverse will have its share of lawbreakers too. Rules and regulations that block an account won't be enough. You need to have proper legislation.
But the metaverse is not going to exist in a real location. It will be a virtual world beyond international borders. That means the countries and authorities need to figure out their jurisdiction to ensure a safe space for the users.
