If inequality is high, the\u00a0metaverse\u00a0is a technology that can help, and is worth looking\u00a0into. \u201cHolograms and VR have long been a feature of the supposed fourth industrial revolution. When President Cyril Ramaphosa opened the first 4th Industrial Revolution SA summit in 2019, his address was live-streamed as a hologram to the Rustenburg Civic Centre. It was touted as the first live holographic presentation by a head of state, although India, China and France could have laid claim to the same laurels.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just over four years later, and we have yet to see heads of state ditching their microphones for holograms. That\u2019s the problem with most 4IR tech, from VR to 3D printing: it\u2019s all very cool, but not often of practical use.<\/p>\n<p>However, Gutzeit\u2019s presentation suggested that VR and AR, or the\u00a0metaverse, as such tech has been marketed since Facebook changed its name to Meta, is moving closer to true industrial application.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing the topic, he exploded a few myths about the\u00a0metaverse, including the misconceptions that it is all about Mark Zuckerberg\u2019s Meta, that it is losing money, and that it is a \u201cwalled garden\u201d that limits access.<\/p>\n<p>More significantly, he underlined the commercial opportunity it offered in the industrial and manufacturing spaces. He shared projections by Deloitte that showed that the industrial\u00a0metaverse, a virtual mirror of real-life industrial processes, was especially promising. It was expected to generate $22,73-billion in revenue by 2025, an $100-billion annual potential by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Deloitte\u2019s research found that 85% of enterprises think that preparation for the\u00a0Metaverse\u00a0is necessary today, while 20% of manufacturers are developing\u00a0metaverse\u00a0applications or underlying solutions. Only 6% of enterprises see the\u00a0metaverse\u00a0as just a hype.<\/p>\n<p>That was just a warm-up for Gutzeit\u2019s own demonstration of the\u00a0metaverse. He introduced his own avatar, a user\u2019s digital representation of themselves in an online or virtual environment, and took the audience through a series of virtual rooms that make up a SAP\u00a0Metaverse\u00a0showcase.<\/p>\n<p>From a leisure lounge to a 51风流history museum to a virtual workbench to a convenience store that was quickly converted\u00a0into\u00a0a clothes shop, he encapsulated a range of settings possible in the\u00a0metaverse. He demonstrated how he could customise a company car with different models and colours before the specs could be sent off for delivery of the real thing.<\/p>\n<p>With a controller in his hands, he navigated through a videogame-like environment to demonstrate a real-life application of the\u00a0metaverse\u00a0in an industrial setting, rearranging items to simulate how it would affect a real environment. Is that enough to convince operators of factories and other industrial operations?<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the\u00a0metaverse\u00a0has not yet taken off in this sector could turn out to be a good thing, said Gutzeit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have more time to explore the\u00a0metaverse, and we need to find out in which cases it will be an effective technology,\u201d he told us later. \u201cIn the next few years, we will have a breakthrough for this technology. It won\u2019t have the same disruptive effect as AI, but it will be an added piece of technology in our future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall, the\u00a0metaverse\u00a0is nothing to be in fear of. There will not be a sudden disruption, but rather a change over time. Talking about it, and being in the\u00a0Metaverse, are two totally different things. You don\u2019t have to like it, or stay there, or use it, but at least try it once \u2013 even if you think it has nothing to do with you or your business.\u201d<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\n* Arthur Goldstuck is founder of World Wide Worx and editor-in-chief of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/gadget.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gadget.co.za<\/a>.
