Technologies that support metaverse application development 

There is a diverse range of technologies that are helpful in developing a metaverse. Let’s discuss it!

1. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): AR & VR technologies enable users to have an immersive experience of interacting with computer-generated objects and environments. 
2. Animation & 3D Modeling: There are tools and technologies for creating 3D animation of human beings, worldly objects, and environments that are highly realistic. 
3. Edge Computing & Cloud Computing: These are the two most significant technologies that support metaverse application development. Cloud computing helps to build a centrally controlled remote infrastructure that can store, process, and distribute data and applications. On the contrary, edge computing enables decentralization, which means that there will be no central authority and there will be a local infrastructure that will process data and applications for the users. Both these technologies work together for metaverse development that is featured high performance and scalability. 
4. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: AL & ML work together to create smart and responsive virtual characters inside the metaverse.  
5. Blockchain: Although metaverse can exist without blockchain, if you want to create a secured platform for shopping or doing business activities, then blockchain-enabled transactions will provide greater security. 
6. 5G: The metaverse needs high-speed internet connectivity. 5G ensures nonstop fun in exploring the 3D virtual worlds, and also makes it easier to handle growing data. 
7. WebVR: Employing WebVR helps to access the digital world directly.
8. Extended Reality (XR): VR+ AR+ MR)=XR, and it can be experienced with the help of smart glasses, VR headsets, scanning sensors, industrial cameras, and hepatic gloves.   
9. Smart contracts enable automatic, error-free, censorship-proof, transparent, and transactions.
