The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently predicted that the metaverse would be adopted first in industrial settings before being embraced by consumers. This prediction was made in a recent article published by the WEF.
According to the organization, the implementation of the metaverse will begin at an industrial level, providing companies with a more efficient way to perform tasks such as design and monitoring.
The metaverse, which is essentially a virtual world in the digital realm, has been a topic of much discussion in recent years. With recent technological advancements and the increasing popularity of virtual and augmented reality, the metaverse is expected to be the next big thing in the digital world.
However, the WEF believes that industrial companies will be among the first to adopt this technology. The WEF cited several reasons for this. Firstly, industrial companies often have complex processes and tasks that require high precision and collaboration.
The metaverse, with its ability to create virtual environments that multiple people can access simultaneously, offers a perfect solution for these types of tasks.
Additionally, industrial companies can use the metaverse for training and simulation, allowing employees to practice tasks in a virtual environment before performing them in the real world.
The WEF also noted that industrial companies are more likely to have the necessary resources to invest in developing and implementing the metaverse. This includes the budget for research and development, as well as the infrastructure and personnel to support the technology.
As the metaverse becomes more prominent in various industries, two key technologies that will be essential for its implementation are digital twins and extended reality.
Digital twins technology involves creating digital representations of elements from the physical world that can be utilized for a range of purposes, such as evaluating the performance of a specific component or analyzing potential issues in a production line, as well as prototyping without needing to construct a physical model.
Extended reality, on the other hand, offers an interactive and immersive experience by combining virtual and real-world elements and can be applied in areas such as education, training, and gaming. These metaverse technologies will play a crucial role in shaping the future of different industries.
Mega corporations such as Meta have invested billions in developing and implementing the consumer metaverse. Still, the World Economic Forum (WEF) believes that industries, rather than consumers, will drive the innovation and advancement of the metaverse.
