METAVERSE THE WORLD'S NEXT BIG THING.
Your Digital Identity in the Metaverse: Design Your Avatar
With so much talk about the metaverse, it is natural to wonder what this virtual world means for your identity. One of the fascinating elements is the fact that you can have a 3D avatar version of yourself. Here’s what you need to know about designing your avatar and developing your identity online.
User experience is said to be revolutionised with web3. So, how does one establish their digital identity? As the physical and online worlds become blurred, your online self in this evolving world is important to understand.
What Is Digital Identity?
Traditionally, digital identity is informed by your virtual address or domain, as well as information collected about your web behaviour, from demographic details to your search and purchase history. This creates an online profile with identifiers that relate to you.
In the metaverse, the definition of digital identity is changing. After all, this is a new decentralised space that relied on blockchain technology tied to digital and real-world identities. In this new online world, users are said to have control over their information and interactions with others, with the option of being selective in how much information is disclosed.
Importantly, the metaverse contains both individual and business-based identities.
