# What is metaverse

The term **metaverse** refers to a **virtual** **reality** **world** that resembles the real world we currently live in, but is **computer-generated** and offers endless possibilities for who you want to be and what you can experience.

Related to the **metaverse** we can talk about **virtual reality** (VR) and **augmented reality** (AR).

But what are they?

**Virtual reality** is the representation of a world in three dimensions. The user does not remain at a distance from the screen, he will dive into the **3D universe**, especially through a VR headset, which will make him interact in this universe.

**Augmented reality** will enrich the real with **virtual elements**, it's a bit like watching an "augmented" version of reality. There can be superimposed information and even the integration of imaginary objects in 3D.
