Metaverse –the highest evolution of the human-machine experience?

With acquisitions and product rollouts happening now and then, the rush for the pedestal is getting even more exciting. Let's delve deeper into what each tech company is up to and how they plan to utilize their resources to build virtual universes.

Despite the exponential growth pattern, personal data privacy advocates are constantly lashing out at the potential threats metaverses tend to pose. A lot of this comes from the fact that metaverses use AR/VR hardware devices that collect biometric data, which is then transmitted to the application over the 5G network.

The metaverses have gained prominence because they are location-independent virtual platforms that are equally or more engaging than the real world. If leveraged effectively, they can reduce overheads and optimize profits — the reason businesses are pouring in billions of dollars to create metaverses.

Will the Metaverse dramatically change how we make purchases? Most likely, but it will be at least ten years before the technology that makes this possible even approaches the public. However, by reconsidering how they construct their technology stacks and design their customer journeys, retail organizations may begin to prepare for it.
