The #Metaverse has suddenly become the buzzword as far as the future of the internet and global inter-connectivity is concerned. This was solidified when Facebook mother company changed name to Meta in a bid to solidify its Metaverse focus.
Meanwhile, you may wonder what the Metaverse stands for: it is defined a
virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users. But as we would see below, there is more.
Now, let's look at top 7 distinct Metaverse platforms in development, and the companies and brains behind them.
1.
Horizon
Mark Zuckerberg and
Meta (Facebook) are behind the Horizons.
Horizon Worlds is Meta’s first attempt at releasing something that resembles CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s vision of the metaverse. It’s an expansive, multiplayer platform that meshes Roblox and the OASIS VR world from Ready Player One. Originally just called Horizon, it requires a Facebook account and lets you hang out with up to 20 people at a time in a virtual space.
Other Meta's metaverse platforms include Horizon Venues and Horizon Workrooms.

Horizon Worlds.
2.
Vorld
Acronym and short form for 'Virtual World,' the Vorld is a GO Digital project planned to be an unexpected and distinct metaverse platform. It is being developed by
Lets Go Digital™, a Nigerian firm. According to information extracted from the platform's website which gets everyone excited, the VORLD promises many adventures ahead and will require the use of gadgets tagged vGadgets (which include VR/AR headsets, VR Chairs, simulators, and smart devices). The platform promises to me more realistic, more practical and will use real life multimedia and not digital avatars, unlike what's being done on other platforms. Many things are yet unclear about the Vorld. Let us watch out for this one.

Bloktopia
Bloktopia is a metaverse and 21-story virtual skyscraper. The Bloktopia team, on the other hand, wishes to pay homage to Bitcoin, which has a maximum limit of 21 million. Bloktopia users can create their own avatars, participate in social activities, learn about cryptocurrency, and buy metaverse “real estate” in this VR skyscraper. They could use this to create artwork, games, obstacles, sequence and more using a builder tool.

In Conclusion
The Metaverse is evolving fast. Many companies, billions of dollars, many ideas, similar approaches, yet, we must not forget the practicality of these platforms and how useful they will be and how they will add value to our lives. Sincerely, many of these look like already existing online games. But let's see who wins the metaverse battle and emerges the best platform.
