With the purchase of the US -based Oculus VR in 2012 by Facebook in 2014, virtual reality technology began to come up more. In this period, investments in technology accelerated. Pokemon Go, which was launched in 2016, helped this technology to reach a wide audience with its infrastructure that uses augmented reality technology.
In the 2020s, the concept of Metaverse began to take part in the strategies of technology giants. US technology company Facebook, Metaverse emphasized its commitment to Metaverse, in 2021 changed its name to Meta.
Microsoft, on the other hand, focused on the construction of business and social interactions in virtual environments with the steps taken on the subject, especially in Mesh.
Metaversa, which was seen as the biggest break after the invention of the internet at the following dates, became the center of attention all over the world after these dates.
Virtual land was sold for 2.4 million dollars
The US Investment Bank JPMorgan, who opened a branch in the virtual world, announced that the land sales and branches were exploded in the virtual universe after Metaverse announced that Metaverse will offer an annual opportunity of $ 1 trillion.
In the same period, a person who wanted to be a neighbor to US rapper Snoop Dogg, who cooperated with The Sandbox “Snoopverse”, received a land from the virtual universe (16 million TL) from the virtual universe. In Decentrarand, another platform in this area, a virtual plot was sold for $ 2.4 million.
However, in the intervening period, the interest in Metaversa has decreased to a great extent. The average metaversa land price in The Sandbox fell from $ 15,000 to 1500 dollars. Thus, a 90 percent depreciation of the land prices in Metaverse experienced a loss of value.
Metaversa is no longer wanted on Google
According to Google Trends data, Metavers, one of the most used concepts all over the world in the range of October 2021 and February 2022, has landed in Google searches in nearly 4 years.
Zuckerberg announced that 1 billion users will operate in Metaverse until the 2030s, while it will be difficult to achieve the target with these recent decreases.
