After functioning as a service industry over the
last decade, the world is now transitioning toward an experience-based economy.
There’s a mounting emphasis on curating an experience of the
buying-selling process instead of conducting transactions like we usually do.
Several industries such as retail and entertainment have already established a
stronghold through the metaverse, and subsequently, the virtual universe is
expanding to real estate, finance, & government sectors. This bridging of
the virtual & physical worlds is gaining traction, owing to which the
Global Metaverse Market is predicted to register a CAGR of around 38.2% during
2022-27, cites a research study published by MarkNtel Advisors.
The metaverse can be
understood as a virtual world that exists parallel to the physical one,
enabling us to stay socially connected through digital platforms. It is a
hypothetical, three-dimensional extension of our universe that helps users
indulge in an immersive experience by building social connections, developing
businesses, and investing in digital assets. The metaverse itself isn’t a
specific technology, and instead, a hybrid of our physical lives with the
virtual world, which by propositioning augmented reality & virtual reality,
enhances the way we interact with technology.
