ABOUT METAVERSE
Metaverse is expected to change the world as we know it over the coming decade. Technology, Communications, and Service companies are thoroughly exploring to help support and enable the future and monetize new products across virtual worlds. Metaverse encompasses Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality but however is bigger than these technologies since there can be digital replica of a product or a person. This technology has tremendous and far-reaching potential particularly in manufacturing, healthcare, and education. Many enterprises are exploring the metaverse concept to introduce new possibilities and experiences for digitally driven consumers.
