The metaverse is an emerging trend that promises to revolutionize the way we interact with each other, businesses, and machines. As it continues to gain traction, the impact on customer service interactions will be significant to business owners. According to Gartner by 2027, over 40% of large organizations worldwide will be using a combination of Web3, spatial computing, and digital twins in metaverse-based projects aimed at increasing revenue.[1] Business owners who are prepared to adapt and embrace this new technology will be well-positioned to create exceptional customer experiences that build lasting relationships with customers.
There is currently a nascent and fragmented adoption of metaverse technologies. The complexity and uncertainty surrounding the concept may make it difficult for business owners to take the plunge. Business owners have to navigate through a complex landscape, decide which technology to adopt, and balance the risks with potential benefits. They also have to be mindful of the ethical and social implications of the metaverse they adopt and that its use is responsible and transparent. While it is clear that metaverse growth is inevitable, there is no fixed timeline for when it will become a significant player in the business world. Ignoring the trend or waiting for it to mature leaves an organization at risk of falling behind the competition, missing out on new opportunities presented by it, and ultimately losing customers.
A total of 26 transformative research and development projects have received £100 million in funding from the UK government through the Innovation Accelerators program. By maximizing the potential of Web3, the government will spur UK growth, innovate, and empower individuals to determine how their data is used, as well as manage downside risks to privacy, security, and harm. There is a commitment from the government to lead in regulating artificial intelligence and in focusing on the future of web technology, sometimes called Web3 or Metaverse. To encourage researchers to develop critical areas of AI, the government will award a £1 million prize every year for the next ten years.[2]
With the metaverse still in its early stages, now is the perfect time for business owners to explore this technology and find innovative ways of using it to enhance their customer experience. Business owners should spend time determining which metaverse is viable for their organization. Customers can interact with your products and services in a new and exciting way, without the limitations of the physical world. The virtual world offers endless possibilities for businesses to create customized experiences that stand out from the competition. The metaverse presents several opportunities for business owners to learn, explore and prepare for this additional delivery channel. By providing valuable experiences and creating a sense of community, businesses can foster long-lasting relationships with their customers and fans.
By embracing the metaverse your business can provide unique and immersive customer experiences, engage with customers in new ways, expand their reach, and reduce costs while increasing efficiency. Leaders thriving are personalizing customer interactions, providing swift response times, and seamless integrations into other platforms. A business can only fully realize the power of the metaverse if its graphics engines are exponentially more powerful to create photorealistic environments, and if its networks are large enough to store and transport data without noticeable lag. In contrast to today's internet, which can be accessed through devices such as a PC, tablet, or smartphone, the metaverse is designed to be immersive, which means using virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and later extended reality (XR) devices instead of simply looking at a screen. Given the immersive nature of the metaverse, it requires a range of sophisticated types of developer software, including 3D, vector design, animation, games creation, video editing, and digital art software. Security, content moderation, and payments will be enabling technologies in the metaverse. The metaverse is going to be a experience portal allowing companies to stage them in the most memorable ways. It's a new frontier of marketing and branding that is up for grabs, and those who have the vision and the courage to seize it will be the ones who thrive in the future. The initial plight might be for larger organizations right now but it is also the time for innovative thinking from smaller organization leaders.
