Immersive technologies like virtual reality or augmented reality today allow us to experience many possibilities in the metaverse, and your company cannot be left behind. We tell you how your brand can enter this world.
And what is the metaverse?
It is a real world in virtuality, where you can interact with other people through different devices and platforms that make you feel that you are immersed in this reality.
Unlike video games, the metaverse is not intended to be a fantasy world, but a kind of alternate reality. For its part, it also gives companies the possibility of creating new forms of relationship with their audiences and expanding their business opportunities.
How is the experience?
Once you create your avatar, you can go to the concert of your favorite singer on the other side of the world, attend a wedding with 10,000 people, buy a house and even have digital pets; It is a parallel world where these and more things can come true.
Taking this range of options into account, companies and brands are also challenged to start thinking about how their presence could be in this new scenario, which is already a reality where, day by day, they can be creators and protagonists.
