The New Internet: What Attracts Users to Holiverse
The internet can no longer remain the same as it used to be for the last twenty years. Newspapers have changed during this time, television has adapted to new formats and learned to speak the same language with the audience. Now it’s the internet’s turn. But where will it take us? Really, where?
In the early 2000s, the Internet was very simple and even a little boring: logged in, found what you needed, and logged out. Then came the Web 2.0 version of the Internet – you logged there, looked for the necessary information, and communicated on forums.
And now? Social networks, streams, an endless content flow, algorithms that decide what to show you. Artificial intelligence writes texts for you, creates pictures, videos… It seems like there is more information, but on the other hand, it’s as if you are in some kind of information bubble.
However, the essence of the Internet has changed. Previously, it was more about information and communication, and now it’s about services, convenience, about having everything at hand, in one application.
You can now order food, call a taxi, and pay bills online. Convenient, of course, but somehow impersonal.
And here companies like Holiverse appear. They seem to be changing our understanding of virtual reality and what the next generation Internet can be like.

Web 4. Blockchain. Меtaverses
With the Web 4.0 Internet, it’s a completely different story than just likes and reviews. It’s often called the “symbiotic web” or “Internet of the mind”. Here are some key ideas for the development of such an Internet.
1. The Internet is not in your phone, but everywhere
Smart glasses, lenses, clothes, even brain implants from Elon Musk – all this is connected to the Internet and continuously communicates with you even when you are not “online”. We get a kind of metaverse. And a metaverse that is not like a game from which you exit, and everything stops.
2. AI on the Internet – the metaverse – will become a full-fledged assistant
There is a virtual assistant next to you who understands the context, your desires and anticipates your needs. It knows everything about your health and well-being. It learns, helps make decisions, adapts and predicts.
On a regular Internet basis AI only understands text, pictures, and videos. It’s like you’re communicating with someone via text – it’s clear what you’re talking about, but there’s not enough interactivity.
And in the metaverse, artificial intelligence sees everything: how you move, what you feel, who you’re communicating with. That’s why AI has much more potential there, it can be much more useful and effective.
But this is still in theory, of course. However, the closest to this idea is the biotechnology company Holiverse by Lado Okhotnikov, which is developing metaverses.
3. The metaverse will take care of us
Your digital twin lives in the metaverse – an exact virtual copy of your body. Thanks to it, you can predict the risks of developing diseases, model their course in various situations, and consider the consequences of certain decisions.
For example, you can see how the quitting of smoking will affect the condition of your lungs. Or find out, without suffering, whether the trendy keto diet will suit you or it’s better to stick to a classic balanced diet.
The drugs will be also carefully selected: instead of trial and error, the metaverse will be able to virtually test various drugs on a digital twin and select the best treatment option without side effects in real life.
Surgeons will be able to practice on virtual copies of patients before real operations.
It seems that in the future we will not just “live”, but literally pump up our bodies, like characters in a game. Only this will no longer be an idea, but our real life in a new dimension. This is exactly what the Holiverse metaverse is striving for.
Lado Okhotnikov’s Holiverse: the metaverse of the present
Remember how each phone manufacturer used to have its own charger? Nokia had one plug, Siemens had another, Motorola had another. Terribly inconvenient! It’s good that the Type-C format appeared later, which became a universal standard and solved this problem.
Something similar is happening with metaverses now. Roblox offers one thing. Decentraland – another. Holiverse – another. And each has its own rules, features, and ecosystem differences.
As if everyone is sitting in their own separate virtual world. But, most likely, this divergence will disappear over time, and something unified appears, like the same Type-C for charging.
Lado Okhotnikov decided not to wait when it happens and began to create a metaverse, which can become a prototype for the rest. He focused on avatars, that are our digital copies. Now it is not about beautiful 3D models for virtual parties like in Zuckerberg’s Meta.
It turns out that avatars should become a kind of “digital twins”. This term is already used in various fields, for example, in industry, where digital copies of equipment are created to simulate its operation and predict breakdowns.
So, Lado Okhotnikov wants to use digital twins in the medical field. We figured out what it’s all about.
- For example, an avatar can show how the heart rate will change under a certain load, how quickly muscles will recover after training, and which exercises will be most effective for you.
- A digital copy will be able to simulate how this or that food will affect blood sugar levels, which products are best excluded from the diet to achieve the desired result.
- The avatar will be able to show how the body will react to stressful situations, which relaxation methods will be the most effective.
That is, you will not just have a “picture” in front of you, but a real interactive tool for managing your health.
Of course, all this sounds complicated. Deep research, clever algorithms and a huge amount of data are needed to make everything work as it should. But the idea itself is fresh!
By the way, this article describes in detail how the first version of DNA avatars is going to be launched in the Holiverse metaverse.
Digital twins: will they become the key to health in the metaverse?
It seems that we are making great strides towards the next generation Internet – the metaverse. On the one hand, it is interesting, of course, something unusual, unknown. It seems that new opportunities are opening up – decentralization, new forms of ownership, all this related to health.
But on the other hand, it is unclear. It is difficult to say where all this will take us to, who will manage all this, how it will affect our lives. Will it turn out that we will simply move from one dependence on, let’s say, large corporations to another – some new crypto whales?
