The metaverse can be summed up as a virtual environment where people can interact with each other in real-time while taking part in activities like work, play, and shopping. The Metaverse is hailed as the advancement in internet communication.
The COVID-19 outbreak has accelerated digitization and standardized the rise in social interaction and online communication, which accounts for the Metaverse’s rapid growth. Users’ involvement in online communities and social networks is expected to rise as a result of the immersive experience. In the future, the Metaverse could shape into an $8 trillion market.
Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) are the four fundamental technological pillars of the Metaverse. These technologies have not only enhanced user experience but also increased user engagement. Employee training, collaboration, virtual meetings, and learning are some of the early use cases of the metaverse. The rise in partnerships and acquisitions with a metaverse focus emphasizes the importance of improving AR and VR solutions.
