These technologies, known colloquially as AR\/VR, are not yet widely used in the general public. To help expedite this technology\u2019s spread, Meta has created an internal arm, called Reality Labs. This division will develop the hardware, software, and content required to have robust and widespread AR\/VR use. In 2021, the company announced that it would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/topics\/8652\/metaverse\/\">investing $10 billion U.S. dollars<\/a> into this segment of the company. The investment is already beginning to yield new products. In September, Reality Labs announced a new line of glasses from the company Ray-Ban. The eyeglasses can record and upload videos to Meta\u2019s various platforms. Additionally, in October 2021, Meta teased a new VR headset and the first AR glasses.<\/p>\n<p>If successful, the Metaverse will irreparably change the ways in which humans interact with each other, both in person and online. This will be a massive and costly undertaking. But, for investors who have a financial interest in the technology\u2019s success, the payoff will be worth the effort. Currently, the global Metaverse market is <a href=\"https:\/\/earthweb.com\/metaverse-statistics\/\">projected to be worth $280 billion by 2025<\/a>. Current investors include technology giants like Microsoft, Roblox, and Epic. Investors and technology professionals agree that it will \u201ctake a village\u201d to bring the Metaverse concept to life. This, in part, explains the large and quick growth in valuation.<\/p>\n<p>The Metaverse is not a new concept, and companies have already been working to create platforms with similar functions. <a href=\"https:\/\/decentraland.org\/\">Decentraland<\/a>, launched in February 2020, is one such platform. The company <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2021\/03\/02\/from-sci-fi-to-reality-evidence-that-the-metaverse-is-closer-than-you-think\/\">raised $24 million in advance of its launch<\/a>. Decentraland is a user-owned platform and utilizes Etherium, a cryptocurrency, in its in-game economy. Users can purchase virtual \u201cland\u201d and NTF goods. People who use Decentraland have complete control over their individual \u201cparcel,\u201d which they can use to advertise businesses, videos, and certain in-world apps. This company is on the forefront of Metaverse technology and illustrates the consumer appeal in these platforms. The technology is so popular that the recently launched Samsung Blockchain Wallet supports Decentraland transactions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metaverserra.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/metaverserra-logo-300x72.png\" alt=\"metaverse logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metaverserra.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/metaverserra-logo-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/www.metaverserra.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/metaverserra-logo.png 636w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>For many, 2020 marked a pivotal moment in purchasing goods and services. More than two billion people made online purchases online, accounting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/the-move-to-the-metaverse-and-beyond-7306577\/\">18% of all retail transactions worldwide<\/a>. Now, retailers and businesses are using this indicator to understand how they may benefit from the Metaverse\u2019s development. For example, Epic Games, a virtual gaming platform, announced in April 2021 that they had raised $1 billion to accelerate its long-term vision for the Metaverse. Famed racing platform NASCAR announced a partnership with Subnation Media to build its digital ecosystem to create more opportunities to expand into the Metaverse. The Walt Disney Corporation announced a Metaverse \u201cTheme Park,\u201d where users can visit Disney properties without leaving their homes. These announcements illustrate just how important online retail transactions are and will continue to be as engineers continue to develop the Metaverse.<\/p>\n<p>In anticipation of a new digital commerce platform, athletic wear company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/topics\/category\/metaverse\">Nike has filed four requests with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office<\/a> for \u201cdownloadable virtual goods.\u201d These downloadable goods could be purchased within the Metaverse to enhance a user\u2019s experience. To this point, many companies have begun experimenting with branded digital items. Nike is among the first to put labor and funds behind the effort, but companies like Gucci, Coca-Cola, Balenciaga, and the NFL have also begun experimenting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22310188\/nft-explainer-what-is-blockchain-crypto-art-faq\">non-fungible tokens<\/a> (NFTs) to use in the Metaverse.<\/p>\n<p>Technological developments, like cryptocurrency and NFTs, have already amassed a huge market valuation. As of 2021, digital items are already <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/the-challenge\/state-of-the-metaverse-2021-9f032fed655b\">more than a $10 billion market<\/a>. Fortnite, a virtual gaming platform, has sold more than $1 billion in digital items. For both companies and consumers, this illustrates the growing interest in non-physical items to buy and sell. Gone are the days when we received a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1099-etc.com\/software\/w2-and-1099-forms-filer\/\">CD-ROM in the mail for software tools<\/a>. Now, all transactions and deliverables can take place online.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-329\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metaverserra.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/metaverse-facebook-logo.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"157\" height=\"152\" \/>Many think that the ease of social interaction will make or break the Metaverse\u2019s success. As a result, research firms are beginning to unravel the ways in which online interactions differ from in-person interactions. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/cathyhackl\/2020\/07\/05\/the-metaverse-is-coming--its-a-very-big-deal\/?sh=42802194440f\">2018 Reach3 Insights study<\/a> found that most streamers \u2013 people who stream video gameplay online \u2013 aren\u2019t too different from the friends they might already spend time with in real life. This means that humans gravitate toward people online who are similar to those they know in person. This will hopefully ease the transition into digital-forward interactions.<\/p>\n<p>According to Emergen Research, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.emergenresearch.com\/industry-report\/metaverse-market\">the COVID-18 pandemic was essential<\/a> to introducing the Metaverse concept in 2021-2022. During the pandemic, remote work, schooling, and social interaction became widespread. Even as COVID-19 restrictions ease, people are continuing to rely on digital tools (see <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/metaverse-statistics\">Metaverse statistics<\/a>) for these interactions. Normalizing this form of socialization is a crucial aspect to the success of the Metaverse<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metaverse Statistics 2022-2021 Facebook known as Meta plans to invest $10 billion U.S. dollars into the company\u2019s Reality Labs segment, which creates AR\/VR technologies.
