SpaceVerse was defined as “a secure digital metaverse that converges terrestrial and space physical and digital realities" as well as provides a simulated environment for training.
The United States Air Force has filed a trademark application hinting at the military branch potentially expanding into the metaverse.According to a Thursday application submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office, the Department of the Air Force trademarked the word "SpaceVerse," defined as “a secure digital metaverse that converges terrestrial and space physical and digital realities and provides synthetic and simulated extended-reality (XR) training, testing and operations environments.” It’s unclear if the initiative is connected to the US Space Force, which according to its website is “organized under” the Air Force, but operates as a “separate and distinct branch of the armed services.”The United States Air Force has filed a trademark application for SPACEVERSE for a metaverse that 1⃣ converges terrestrial and space physical and digital realities 2⃣provides extended-reality training, testing, and operations environments#Metaverse #Web3 #USAF #Space pic.twitter.com/OVkcnKvX6M— Mike Kondoudis (@KondoudisLaw) April 19, 2022
