What is the Metaverse.
Much like the physical world was designed by architects and construction workers, the Metaverse will be built through the work of software engineers and coders.
The Metaverse Coders Association is the organization of choice for programmers working on building the Metaverse and on helping others navigate it. We are a not-for-profit organization of professional and practitioners. We provide educational forums, awards, and peer interaction opportunities to support the professional growth of members.
The Metaverse is where the physical meets the virtual. Immersive technologies such as virtual realty, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and others will lead to the Metaverse offering a seamless digital experience. It is sometimes considered to be the next iteration of the internet where digital facsimiles of ourselves can move from one experience to another while still maintaining our identity and assets.
