Metaverse was once a fringe concept. It is now being conceived as a network of 3D virtual worlds. Consumers too look forward to having a completely digital universe.

Metaverse is still away from being ready for day-to-day use. However, its components are already here. Corporates such as MS, Intel, Nvidia, Apple, Epic Games and Robolox and many more are tirelessly working to bring this virtual reality to life. All this will require AR headsets and gaming consoles, but also at the same time tremendous amount of software to work out the metaverse. Thus metaverse will largely be software.

It leads to the issue of the security of the key components of the metaverse. Security will have to be integrated to the fundamental process. There could be automated scanning. There has to be supply chain security.

Currently metaverse seems to be a hybrid of online collaboration experiences. At times, these are amplified into 3D, and projected to the physical world. Ultimately the aim is share immersive experiences with other people even when we are not together physically and do things together which we cannot do in the physical world.

There would be need for a code to support this virtual world, and a lot more software updates. These updates will require faster releases and continuous releases.
