A multiverse of metaverses: an emerging productivity powerhouse?
As with all new technologies, the Metaverse is surrounded by misconceptions (like there will only be one) and substantially more hype than substance. But it is being used successfully (and at scale) already for simulations — from building virtual objects collaboratively (like an architect creating a virtual representation of a building) to advanced testing for autonomous robots and vehicles. And there is potential to use it to boost productivity, since it could help address privacy issues that surround monitoring employees and getting more from them, as well as the autonomous systems coming to help or replace them.
