Virtual reality game studio Alta has raised $12.4 million in a funding round that shows that “metaverse” companies are in a boom.

The Sydney and San Francisco-based company said it has assembled a team of game developers who make experiences that “push the boundaries of virtual worlds.” It also called itself a “metaverse studio,” where the metaverse refers to the universe of virtual worlds that are all interconnected, like in novels such as Snow Crash and Ready Player One.
