Metaverse, a dawning technology concept, is fast catching the fancy of American and European business leaders, who see it as a plausible solution for interacting in 3D spaces in ways beyond the realms of the current virtual collaborative solutions. 

Now, with the predicted rise of the metaverse technology, which uses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality, digital avatars and spatial audio to help people interact in a 3D space, virtual events and meetings will become more immersive and engaging, akin to in-person meetings. Small wonder, business leaders and marketers are excited.  

Technology industry doyenand founder of Microsoft Inc. Bill Gates in his year-end blog wrote that within just 2-3 years, most virtual meetings “will move from 2D camera image grids to the metaverse, a 3D space with digital avatars.” He claimed that the metaverse technology will enable people to have their own avatars who would be able to meet in virtual space. The use of VR goggles and motion capture gloves will accurately capture expressions, body language, and the quality of voice to replicate the experience and feel of in-person meetings. 

Before Mr. Gates’ aforesaid proclamation about metaverse, in October last, Facebook had already announced transformation of its entire corporate identity to revolve around the metaverse. In 2020, Disney even promised to build its own version of the metaverse to “allow storytelling without boundaries.” Recently, McDonald’s filed patent applications in the US for setting up a shop, the first-ever in the metaverse. Some mega sports and entertainment events such as Australian Open, Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022) and more are also pivoting to Metaverse. In February, the metaverse elements were even added to the catwalk at the New York Fashion Week.
