The keys to the metaverse
What is a metaverse?
The word "metaverse" is composed of "meta" meaning "beyond" and "verse" referring to the idea of "universe". It is therefore a virtual universe that reproduces experiences and sensations that go beyond the real world.
The concept first appeared in 1992 in the novel "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. It has been evolving ever since. But a turning point came in 2021 when Mark Zuckerberg decided to make a paradigm shift from Facebook to Meta, to focus on these virtual worlds.
What can I do in a metaverse?
In a metaverse, you take the form of an avatar (the image that others will have of you). You can customise it as you want and even buy clothes and accessories!
You can then interact with other users in real time. In addition, you can play, do shopping, watch videos, participate in business meetings or attend cultural events.
Orange in the Luxembourg Metaverse
The Luxembourg Metaverse has been developed by Virtual Rangers and The Dots. It was launched in June 2022 and is easily accessible through a VR headset or simply a tablet, a laptop or a smartphone. Come and say hello! We've built spaces just for you.
Visit our shop in the metaverse for an immersive shopping experience. There you can discover our products and services, learn more about our RE program and our commitments for a more responsible digital world.
