Which one of the following words/phrases is most appropriately used to denote "an interoperable network of 3D virtual worlds that can be accessed simultaneously by millions of users, who can exert property rights over virtual items"?

Question

(a) Big data analytics
(b) Cryptography
(c) Metaverse
(d) Virtual matrix

Answer 1

(c) Metaverse

Explanation:

The term "Metaverse" refers to a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space, including the sum of all virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the Internet. It is characterized by its interoperability, allowing millions of users to interact and possess virtual properties.

• Big data analytics refers to the process of examining large and varied data sets to uncover hidden patterns, correlations, and other insights.

• Cryptography is the practice of secure communication in the presence of third parties.

• Virtual matrix is not a standard term used to describe an interoperable network of 3D virtual worlds.

Thus, "Metaverse" is the most appropriate term.
