It’s an upscale version of virtual reality headset. The link below explains those. They always looked fun to me but I never tried it, they are very expensive. You wear the headset, like an old fashioned view finder & it feels like you are actually there… walking on the Great Wall of China, Roller Coaster, etc. It’s something you do alone & don’t interact with with strangers.

Metaverse is taking it way further! Instead of interacting with people you don’t know behind a keyboard you are inside the “fake” internet world. It might be a concert, beach, strip club, or I don’t know what else. I’ve read articles on it. They are hoping to get people to stay in this metaverse for weeks, months! So they are housebound. It’s all part of the plan to take control of the people. I’m sure most people see it as a cool new toy. I saw a YouTube video just last week, titled, “I spent 100 days in Metaverse” I didn’t care to watch it. It’s just another ploy to get us dependent on the government & corrupt kids. Who knows they might be using it for black mail people or kidnapping kids.
