Because we’re frequently called upon to serve as Metaverse speakers, virtual speaking presenters and futurist consultants, Web3 and virtual reality technologies (not to mention AR and XR solutions) are often top of mind. Ironically though, one of the most common things we’re asked to start by doing is defining what exactly the Metaverse is and how to go about enjoying it. (Not to mention where it’s heading.) Keeping this in mind, let’s talk about some of the main ways you can enter and experience the concept as it exists in its current form:

  • Virtual reality solutions – VR headsets like Meta Quest allow you to immerse yourself in 3D virtual environments. Many games and social platforms allow users to interact and explore metaverse-like spaces.
  • Augmented reality glasses – Goggles which superimpose digital information and objects onto the real world. Offerings like Microsoft HoloLens allow shared AR experiences that edge towards the metaverse vision, per leading  Metaverse speakers and futurist consultants.
  • Spatial computing platforms – Which enable people to join AR/VR spaces using devices like phones and tablets. These can support meetings, events, and other virtual interactions.
  • Video games – Games like Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft allow millions of users to connect, play, build, and socialize together in persistent online worlds. Some of the virtual worlds exhibit key metaverse qualities.
  • Cryptocurrencies and NFTs – Digital payment tools like Bitcoin and Ethereum serve as native currencies in many metaverse environments. In similar fashion, NFTs can represent virtual assets and identities.
  • Cloud solutions – Apps like Decentraland allow users to explore 3D virtual worlds, buy virtual land, and engage with other users via avatars.
  • Virtual worlds – According to top Metaverse speakers and futurist consultants, persistent 3D virtual worlds like Meta Horizon Worlds are early prototypes focused on social connection within a shared immersive space.

Bottom line? The technology is still evolving. For most people, the easiest way to start engaging with the metaverse today is through VR games, AR experiences, and interactive virtual worlds. Accessibility will improve over time as hardware and software advances.
