This New Crypto Will Be a Breakout Success During the Metaverse Winter – Here’s Why

cryptonews.com:

The metaverse is a concept that has been thrown around for the past two years. So far, several companies like Facebook (now Meta) and Microsoft are pouring millions of dollars into embracing this new fantasy world before any other.

However, it seems the concept is grossly undermining the potential this new virtual space offers, and that is the idea of a digital twin.

The key idea thrown about in the crypto space is creating a much saner and more beautiful virtual reality – a world governed by edge-defining technology with everyone collaborating in real time. 

However, the overarching belief has been that the virtual world would be the new home for human interaction and social community. In essence, the metaverse is expected to be an escape route to the current social issues and political upheavals the world is going through.

But it actually goes much more than that, as recent developments have shown. Instead of the world running to the metaverse as an escape pod, it can be a means to improve our physical reality. 

To do this, a new ideology is slowly surfacing called ‘digital twin’ – a concept first practicalized by NASA, which serves as a dynamic virtual representation of a physical entity. 

In elitist definition, the digital twin is an individualized, personally customized, evolving aspect of a physical system. It evolves in the respect that it changes in real time according to the events or occurrences that befall its physical counterpart. 

The digital twin concept is expected to be the true embodiment of the metaverse because it will be able to adapt in real-time to issues that affect its physical counterpart, and developers and creators will be able to gain detailed snapshots of what happens to their tangible counterparts.
