Each virtual world has its own rules and regulations about what the user can and cannot do when logging in. The metaverse is similar to Second Life and other games in that it allows users to take on alternate personas, meet new friends and create their characters. Although it is a digital world, think about what you are going to do you would do in the real world. Don’t touch anyone without their consent The first rule of the Metaverse is that you should never touch another avatar without their consent. Do not use violence This may seem obvious, but it is important to note that you cannot use guns, blasters, grenades, or even magic spells against other avatars if you are not in a PvP location. You cannot have more than one avatar Owning another avatar is one of the biggest bans in the Metaverse. The reason for this rule is that some users try to trick other avatars into “selling” their avatars, which can lead to people confusing you or people with bad intentions trying to take advantage of another identity. Beware of breaking the rules Most virtual worlds prohibit users from doing anything from exchanging real-world information with other users to using profanity. Many rules are basic behavioral things but it is best to be aware of these so as not to ruin someone’s experience. Racist or sexist words or behavior. Many Metaversos have strict “no hate speech” policies and permanently ban users who use words considered racist, sexist, or discriminatory. Don’t sell inappropriate or spammy products Many virtual worlds have strict rules about the products and services you can present in the game. Some only allow you to present products and services approved by their moderators. You may not display nudity of any kind Although some virtual worlds allow you to show nudity, most do not allow any form of nudity within the game. Some metaverses with nudity usually require you to be over 18 years of age. The only advertisements you will see are for user-safe products or services. The Metaverse makes money by selling ads to companies that want to sell their products and services to users. Most cyberspaces have strict rules that only allow companies to advertise safe products and services to users

One of the recurring questions is how can we enter the metaverse and specifically what devices can we use to get the first glimpses of the metaverse. What types of devices are considered devices for the Metaverse? You can use a variety of different devices to access the Metaverse. The primary would be to have a PC or cell phone although this is generally much less immersive than a dedicated augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) device. This is why Metaverse-specific devices allow you to enter and fully immerse yourself in these worlds. Virtual reality goggles or augmented reality equipment essentially embed the metaverse directly into your field of vision. Virtual Reality Glasses: This type of goggle is fully immersive as it features sights and sounds that transport the user’s consciousness into another universe. Thanks to these devices, we are completely immersed in the experience and have no sense of the real world around us. There are two types of virtual reality glasses; wireless ones, which have autonomy and the ability to process applications on their own, and those connected to a power source and data processing (e.g. a computer) through cables. These are some of the options we have: Augmented Reality Glasses:  One of the advantages of augmented reality glasses is that they are much less bulky than virtual reality glasses and are therefore more portable. These glasses let us observe intelligent information, such as a notification to our cell phone, checking email, and having maps. They help us see things in our real environment that are not there. Some examples are the following: Metaverse on the web: If you don’t have virtual reality or augmented reality glasses, you can always access the Metaverse through the versions available for the web through the Internet on sites such as Decentraland or Roblox.

The Metaverse is a digital place where we can interact and exchange experiences, using new digital identities called “avatars”, using logical support, which replicates the real planet, but without its restrictions. If we contextualize this criterion what we can see is a new world, a new digital world. Then, if we imagine that we are part of the work of a world that gives us a vision of the proportion of things that have the possibility of doing. On the other hand, it is logical to think that a digital environment will have its crimes, simultaneously laws that regulate them, even its currency, logically digital. Some examples of metaverses to which you can enter Second Life: is a 3D virtual environment where users control avatars to socialize, learn and do business. Decentraland: is an online digital world that combines social resources with cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and virtual real estate. Microsoft Flight Simulator Microsoft’s Metaverse is the alliance of the digital and physical universes with which they can engage deeper connections between individuals in the work environment. How to earn money in the metaverse? The stock market: A long-term investment in some interesting position in the metaverse will surely give you a return on investment. Business: In the metaverse, there are businesses with the possibility of being materialized in the physical world, i.e. there can be a store in the metaverse and when you make a purchase it could be delivered physically.  The economy of the metaverse is managed through cryptocurrencies and NFTs, which are also revalued and in themselves form a business opportunity. Real Estate: Some metaverses such as Descentraland own “land” or properties that can be bought and subsequently sold at a higher price. E-learning: Nowadays it is common to see universities that have anatomy classes through virtual reality, something that could bring the metaverse is that from your home you can move around the body virtually and know all its functions, the imaginative and logical mixture is what will leave the learning. Works of Art: The NFT are unique digital objects and when it comes to works of art these have been quoted impressively. Conclusion The metaverse can already be entered, without the need for special equipment, but soon we will be able to have virtual reality glasses, which will immersively take you to unimaginable places or have sensory, touristic, gaming, and even business experiences that you have never previously experienced. The metaverse will be a world to explore, but it will require cybersecurity services, retail, wholesale, and events.
