[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”849788″]Game development has brought the virtual world to homes. The digitally native and global Gen Z has grown up with advanced graphics for computer games. Their experience and attitudes set high standards for the virtual user experience.
\nThe Metaverse is the virtual world of the future. It is where people enjoy themselves, buy and work virtually. User simultaneity allows them to interact and communicate with each other in a shared virtual environment.<\/p>\n

Metaverse and multisensory experiences<\/h2>\n

Virtuality creates new kinds of opportunities for business. The Metaverse offers customers a multi-sensory customer experience through virtual, real-time interaction.
\nToday, virtual reality (VR) in the metaverse is, for example, a commercial VR environment where customers can explore the products and services on offer in 3D showrooms or simulated use cases.
\nCustomers create a virtual character for themselves, which allows them to move and chat with other virtual characters in the same space. The virtual 3D environment and models help the customer to get familiarised with the features of products and services and thus make it easier, for example, to make a purchase decision. A well-designed virtual tour reduces the customer’s product returns and the need for customer service.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”334817″]<\/p>\n

VR technologies enabling the metaverse<\/h2>\n

Virtual applications enable a virtual experience of things, places, and situations that are currently inaccessible.
\nThe goal of a VR application is to create a lifelike, virtual, customer experience, to the extent that it is appropriate. A good example of this is the Simboat VR application developed in collaboration between MeKiwi and XR Marine. The highlights of boating are present virtually, allowing the customer to discover a new boat model even before the ice starts to melt.
\nThe technologies enabling the metaverse are AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) and the intermediate form MR (Mixed Reality). They are based on XR (Extended Reality).<\/p>\n

In the AR experience, virtual content is connected to the real world with the help of an AR-supported application or browser. A familiar example for many is the Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/a> game. In it, the player searches for Pok\u00e9mon characters that are connected to the real world. Additional information or instructions on a product or service that can be accessed via a QR code is also an AR experience.<\/p>\n

In a VR application, the virtual environment is viewed with VR glasses that exclude the outside world. In the environment, you interact with objects manually or with VR controllers. Visuals, sounds, and interactions with the environment create an immersive VR experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”12393″ media_width_percent=”70″ alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”194155″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”160035″]<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The use of the metaverse is increasing<\/h2>\n

Hyper-realistic, shared and multi-sensory virtual worlds are on the rise. The most advanced virtual environments are for business and industry. The adoption of Metaverse in the consumer market requires advances in devices, applications, platforms and connectivity.<\/p>\n

According to Nashant Batra, Nokia’s Chief Strategy and Technology Officer, the first 5G-Advanced deployments will begin in 2025, when the coverage of the metaverse will increase dramatically. For more detailed technical information, see the guide Metaverse matters: A guide to an immersive future<\/a> published by Nokia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The metaverse is implemented by professionals<\/h2>\n

The aim of the VR experience is to achieve the immersiveness familiar from the gaming world, where the user is immersed in their VR experience. The aim is to create a VR environment in which the operating principles of the real world are reflected. A good example of a VR environment is MeKiwi’s latest VR game, Cave Digger 2: Dig Harder<\/a>.
\nA positive user experience is created by skillful technical implementation and smooth service. The best results are achieved by a professionally multi-skilled product development team that includes software developers, graphic designers, UI\/UX designers and service designers.<\/p>\n
