The Future of Business in The Metaverse
New possibilities are being unlocked that can create the potential to expand businesses in ways a traditional brick and mortar, or Web 2.0 infrastructure, could never allow. No single vendor would ultimately control the metaverse, and the virtual environment will be device-independent. In fact, the metaverse features an independent virtual economy. In its fullest expression, the metaverse will touch on every important area of our lives, including engagement, community building, self-expression, and commerce. Every area of opportunity presents powerful positions for building out brands and businesses to be successful and at the forefront of this significant digital frontier.
Many companies exploring business opportunities in the metaverse are creating strategies around their core competencies while dipping their toe into metaverse technologies. For example, luxury fashion brands like Balenciaga and Gucci have created clothing lines for avatars and set up digital storefronts in established virtual worlds. Celebrities Ariana Grande and Travis Scott have hosted massive virtual concerts for millions of fans. Travel agencies and hotels are exploring how virtual reality can amplify their sectors, while education utilizes augmented reality and digital classrooms for more immersive learning experiences.
We can also see how metaverse companies are suggesting innovative solutions for traditional industries. For example, Highstreet is transforming retail in the Metaverse by turning department stores around the world like Saks, Selfridges, and Lane Crawford into entry points into Highstreet World. Metawear is changing the fashion industry by creating Metaverse Fashion DOME which is the Metaverse Temple of Top Fashion Designs, where talented global designers, top fashion brands, students, young artists, senior designers, and famous figures meet in one place to create, earn, and market their designs and products.
The HUSL is revolutionizing the music industry by building a global music marketplace in the metaverse that allows individuals around the world to upload their newest music as NFTs.
The gaming sector continues to trailblaze the future of work through GameFi mechanics and the sector’s mass adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. The ability to disrupt traditional modalities and progress metaverse concepts shows the power and importance of gaming for the future. It’s proven by data from Play-to-Earn NFT game CryptoBlades Kingdoms: since August, their users completed 23,709 battles, trained 4,472,925 units, looted over 313,146,492, and collected more than 1,712,753,259 in wood, stone, and clay, which demonstrates the users’ growing interest in the GameFi space in general.
