The four digital environment creation technologies can bring gamers a completely different and unique immersive experience of exciting games such as racing games, shooters, sports, and post-apocalyptic and survival games to immerse them in the game environment. Virtual reality versions of popular and exciting games such as the Call of Duty series and Microsoft Flight Simulator are rapidly expanding.
Augmented reality has also been used in the gaming industry. Among the most popular augmented reality games are Pokemon Go, which is considered the most popular augmented reality game, Ingress and Zombies, Run.
Mixed reality has also been considered in the gaming industry, allowing game developers to combine the two technologies of virtual reality and augmented reality to bring the game environment completely closer to reality. Among the most popular mixed reality games in 2022 are Lightsabers and Music and two shooter games Lasers and Landing Pads and Physics Made Fun. These three games run easily on the Windows operating system.
In addition, digital avatars can be used in online multiplayer role-playing games and create multiplayer groups with them so that the avatars enter the game world and gamers can use them to gain a different and completely new experience of role-playing games.
Using these avatars in popular and very exciting shooter games like Call of Duty can also be very exciting and take you to the heart of the battlefield. You can even enjoy a sincere virtual chess game with your friend using digital avatars.
You can even get special points by purchasing a metaverse playground and form your own virtual realm in strategic games and try to expand it. Holding virtual concerts and other virtual entertainment events are other applications of the metaverse in the entertainment field.
Travel and Tourism
Certainly, not everyone has the financial and physical ability to travel to different places and visit their favorite attractions or do not have the opportunity to travel to such places; but thanks to virtual reality technologies, you can have a virtual trip to all parts of the world without having to leave your home or even get up from your sofa and see your favorite attractions in high resolution and in full detail with a virtual reality headset. You can even wander around the corners of the virtual space you are visiting and be curious, as if you were in a place.

Mecca Experience, a way to introduce Islam to young people
Euronews wrote, introducing a new experience in the metaverse: BSocial is a pioneer in virtual religious experiences. In 2015, the digital agency’s CEO, Ehab Fares, created some of Islam’s holiest sites, including Mecca, in a hyperspace they called Experience Makkah. Wearing ihram, they meet, learn about rituals and explore other landmarks. They can also visit the Arafat Desert. The Mecca Experience uses 3D modeling to allow users to walk around the Kaaba.
The immersive experience was launched in 2015, but gained popularity in 2020, Fares said. Early in the coronavirus pandemic, the Hajj pilgrimage, which had attracted about 2.5 million pilgrims in previous years, was limited to fewer than 1,000 Saudis due to restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the virus. In less than a month, we had more than 20,000 users from the Middle East and the rest of the world.
