Following Somnium Space, one of the pioneering metaverse platforms, numerous other platforms have emerged as competitors in this space.
Notably, Facebook rebranded itself as Meta. This was followed by significant investments in virtual reality by major companies like Microsoft, Alphabet, Roblox, and NVIDIA.
