The Metaverse is the third manifesto of the digital connected experience. It will be the part of WEB3. Here, we will virtually enter a new 3D dimensional world powered by augmented realty, virtual reality and extended reality world that can accessible through browser or headset from anywhere in the world.
What you can do with Metaverse?
The use of metaverse is limitless; however experts have listed below immediate use cases

Service provider’s roles in metaverse
We are seeing service providers are rolling out 5G and spending billions across the world. 5G provides higher data rates, low latency, higher capacity and the ability to connect millions of devices. Implementing edge computing and blockchian are the foundation of metaverse service. It is clear the Metaverse was made for 5G and 5G was made for the Metaverse.
Key role of 5G for the Metaverse
Metaverse is not completely ready. It is in developing phase. Currently, metaverse experience is based on high speed broadband network. The Metaverse will need to be mobile. It has to run seamlessly in mobile. The mobile will need minimum 200Mbps speed to run metaverse services perfectly. This kind of speed will only be provided by 5G. Hence, 5G wireless service is required which is fast, affordable and wide coverage in the remote area as well.
Currently, you will need some kind of hardware, need software as well and run it locally to experience metaverse. The edge computing implementation of service provider will provide real time user experience from the edge itself. The hardware requirement will not be there in 5G.
Use of edge computing to reduce latency for enhanced rendering
Currently 4G speed and hardware are become throttling the rendering experience. The VR and AR experience is not level of expectation. But introducing edge computing will reduce latency and improve VR and AR experience like never before. It will be similar to streaming videos or movies. According to the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), consumer spending on VR headsets and eyewear is expected to reach $774 million for 2022, while AR headset/eyewear spending is expected to increase by 175% to $214 million.
