Five technologies necessary for Metaverse development

1. AR and VR technology

At the core of the Metaverse is an immersive user experience, which would not be possible without AR and VR.

Metaverse is often used interchangeably with VR, but there are some differences between Metaverse and VR.

Simply put, Metaverse is an “online VR experience” . Single-player games in VR are not part of the Metaverse, but online meetings in VR are. In the future, Metaverse development may not be limited to VR, and new technologies may be born.

Virtual fitting room technology also contributes to the e-commerce experience. Overcoming online shopping barriers allows customers to choose the perfect item from the comfort of their own home. In the future, Metaverse development services will improve this technology and provide virtual stores and immersive experiences in VR space.

However, VR experiences require expensive equipment such as headsets that many people cannot easily afford. Therefore, AR technology can be the driving force behind the development of the Metaverse. According to Statista’s survey, 83.96% of the world’s population owns a smartphone. This means that smartphones may offer AR functionality.

2. AI (artificial intelligence)

Virtual space comes to the fore in the Metaverse, but behind the scenes is AI.

AI can help compute and predict data, but it can also help improve algorithms that help with specific tasks, such as creating avatars, natural language processing and translation, and building virtual worlds.

It could also be combined with sensors that measure bioelectricity and muscle patterns to improve interactions between VR and the real world. Image recognition services for visually impaired people are also envisioned, and it is thought that an even more inclusive experience can be realized.

3. 3D modeling

For the Metaverse to become a truly immersive platform, a 3D modeling environment is required. There are hundreds of underlying 3D modeling tools for companies looking to create Metaverse and VR related products/services.

Besides building objects from scratch in programs such as Blender , you can also imagine using sensors to reconstruct objects in 3D. Another option would be to use a mobile device with an infrared depth scanner, like the iPhone’s LiDAR sensor. These technologies help digitize objects for use in the metaverse.

The digitization of objects will also have a positive impact on the manufacturing industry. 3D technology allows us to visualize where products come from and how they are processed in the supply chain.

We can’t yet fully digitize the human body for VR, but animated 3D virtual avatars should take its place.

4. Edge computing

Edge computing, which is used for customer behavior analysis, also contributes to the high-speed data transfer required for high-quality immersive experiences in the Metaverse.

With hundreds of people around the world having virtual experiences, it is impossible for the cloud to cover all the processing required to maintain the system. Leveraging edge computing will bring processing closer to each user, making the whole experience smoother.

5.5G

The Metaverse is a network of virtual experiences. However, when building a network in VR, a huge amount of data will be used.

5G, one of the mobile trends, will solve these problems. 5G has improved in recent years and provides the necessary environment for real-time data transfer. In addition, 5G makes it possible to connect to AR and VR from anywhere, not just at home.

The increased bandwidth of 5G means that VR rendering can be done on edge devices and streamed to headsets. This fact suggests that the size of VR headsets may shrink in the coming years and become more comfortable for users.
