What Is the Metaverse: A New Digital Dimension

May 23, 2025

The metaverse has exploded into the modern tech scene, becoming a central concept in the era of digitalization. It refers to a persistent virtual universe, accessible through VR or augmented reality devices, poised to revolutionize how we work, socialize, and enjoy entertainment. But what exactly is the metaverse?


The term was first coined by writer Neal Stephenson in the 1990s, but it wasn’t until the rise of 3D technology, global connectivity, and the growth of virtual event platforms that the metaverse began to take real shape. Tech companies began creating environments where users could interact via avatars, engage in virtual games, or attend events.


The metaverse serves as an alternative space where people can do everything from corporate meetings and training sessions to concerts, trade shows, and team building activities. It removes the limitations of the physical world, allowing global access. With AI, interactions in these environments feel more natural and lifelike.


Through these digital spaces, companies can offer personalized experiences, foster networking, and build innovative strategies using social media and rrss. By integrating emerging technologies, events become more interactive, measurable, and scalable—breaking away from traditional formats.


In summary, the metaverse isn’t just a trend—it's a natural evolution of the internet into more immersive, participatory environments. At Walcon Virtual, we help organizations explore and establish their presence in the metaverse through tailored and creative solutions.

Until just a few years ago, the metaverse was something completely unknown to most people. Yet, a few curious pioneers were already exploring these virtual worlds. On platforms where digital land is limited, some users purchased virtual plots for as little as €20 — and today, they can earn up to €1,500 from renting out those same spaces. Major global companies from every sector — such as Samsung, Dolce & Gabbana, Nike, BMW, and Coca-Cola — are competing to establish their presence in the metaverse, which appears to be the clear direction the future is heading. Real estate agencies that traditionally sold physical properties around the world are now also offering virtual land sales and even exact replicas of real-world homes inside the metaverse. One notable example is Nourmand & Associates, a real estate firm currently selling a mansion in Beverly Hills for $9.5 million, while offering the possibility to build a virtual replica of the same property in a well-known metaverse for an additional $100,000. According to expert Sergio G., “The global market for virtual and augmented reality was valued at $26.7 billion in 2018; it is likely to close this year at $54 billion, and projections estimate it could reach $800 billion by mid-decade.” From the very beginning, Walcon has embraced this vision, collaborating with leading metaverse platforms, and designing, managing, and constructing projects across any virtual world.
