Anew buzzword percolating in many technical communities is “Metaverse.” The concepts around an emerging Metaverse are some of the most exciting developments in the convergence of business and technology. In this article, I share some of my thoughts on building Metaverse systems and their applications from an industry perspective. We are all learning about how to build these systems effectively and I hope to encourage those in product management, engineering, and data science roles to learn and share their perspectives.
The material in this article represents my own individual opinions, and I am not attempting to convey the views of my employer, Microsoft, or any other affiliates.
A Metaverse for industries
While much of the hype surrounding the Metaverse has been driven to date by companies like Meta and Nvidia with a focus on the consumer (a.k.a. social) market, there is a significant business opportunity for leaders from multiple industries to leverage Metaverse concepts and drive innovation within and across their industry scenarios.
