Understanding the Metaverse and Web 3.0
The Metaverse is not to be confused with Web 3.0, which is the third stage of development of the World Wide Web. The Metaverse refers to a virtual reality-based parallel internet world where users can interact with each other and digital objects in a 3D space. It’s an extension of the internet into a three-dimensional virtual world. It is an immersive, interactive, and social platform where people can create avatars to represent themselves, buy and sell virtual property, and interact with other users in real-time. Web 3.0 is more about blockchain technology and concepts, including digital identity, smart contracts, and decentralised applications (dApps).
This module allows participants to demystify Web 3.0 and the Metaverse, deepen their understanding and learn about its applications and business opportunities.
At the end of the 3-days course, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate between Web 3.0 and the Metaverse: Understand the key concepts, technologies, and functions that distinguish Web 3.0 from the Metaverse, and how they are interconnected.
