Verifying the Metaverse

There has been a lot of publicity about the Metaverse. Facebook rebranded itself as Meta! Zuckerberg said he sees the Metaverse as the future, though he was also careful to say that Facebook would not own it, that others would also build it.

What is the Metaverse? You make an avatar of yourself. A software construct that is a skin. The Metaverse is a set of rooms or even worlds, where your avatar interacts with other avatars. It does not have to look like you. It is a fictional construct. You move your avatar from room to room.
