The Evolution of the Metaverse I was in college when “The Matrix” released. It just blew my mind away, and soon became the subject of many an intense conversations with my friends. We debated endlessly on what is real and what is not, marveled at the immersive experience offered by the simulated reality; and relished the limitless possibilities that opened up once Neo and the gang started bending the physical laws in that virtual world shown in the movie. Little did we know the things that were to come, though the word Metaverse was coined by then.
