The Metaverse: a brave new world for industry
Summary
However, the confluence of the 3D Internet and emerging technologies like extended reality (XR) and digital twins have created the right conditions for this virtual multiverse to converge and evolve into a unified, interoperable Metaverse. This is because AR technology allows us to extend past what we are observing and can glean contextual details or simulate scenarios that predict future events based on the inputs we provide. Health data visualisation gives patients and practitioners deeper insight into medical conditions and allows them to work together towards a tailored treatment that both parties feel good about. The Metaverse’s collaboration and communication benefits enable technician teams and engineers to work together in real-time to solve issues which improves response time and reduces downtime. The digital world enables users to experience situations as if they are physically present and the improved simulations made possible by the Metaverse mitigate risk, reduce costs, and avoid unnecessary labour.
