You have probably heard about the Metaverse, but what is it actually?
Well, there are different views on what a Metaverse is, and obviously as many definitions. According to Wikipedia:
A metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, it is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets.
In short: while the Internet – or more precisely the World Wide Web – contains websites, the Metaverse contains virtual worlds (also called digital worlds). You can also look at the Metaverse as the next version of the Internet, a 3D World Wide Web!
Now, imagine websites about insurance, from insurance companies and other players in the industry. Would they become virtual worlds dedicated to insurance in the Metaverse? Would insurance companies create digital “islands” in the Metaverse as global brands such as Nike did over 10 years ago in Second Life?

According to you, will there be a Metaverse for insurance?
