What is the future of the Metaverse in Corporate?

A world reimagined through the virtual lens has become an increasingly enticing reality of our time. The virtual reality market is growing exponentially fast and clocked in at a hefty $4.8 billion in 2021 and is only going up from there with the virtual reality market projected to reach $12 billion by 2024 according to Statista. This growth expectation is no surprise considering the success of immersive gaming with the top three ‘Metaverse’ tokens currently being game related based on market capitalization, expansion of digitized processes due to the impacts of a global pandemic, and of course Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement of Meta.

The Metaverse in Corporate Environments through Gamification

Encompassing a new way to work, play, and connect, the Metaverse, a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection, holds a world of potential to penetrate just about every aspect of work and life that we know. Corporate gamification in the Metaverse is on track to redefine the working environment no matter the sector. While opinions on technology are steadily changing, optimism for gamification in the Metaverse in corporate and work spaces is high. We can already anticipate virtual reality being integrated into the workplace through things like immersive training methods, meetings and conferences, and gamified corporate interactions. Creating an experience parallel to that of reality adds a much needed element of excitement and engagement to corporate spaces. Each participant of the Metaverse can be part of the game in a virtual world. Realism realized through personalized avatars, intricate 3D scenery, and cutting edge technology allows everyone to project themselves into the Metaverse without limits and transform the way they work alone and collaboratively.

Corporations and entrepreneurs alike recognize that gamifying corporate processes and entering the Metaverse will be a gamechanger and are jumping in with massive investments and plans hoping to secure their slice of the pie.

• Walmart has begun filing new trademarks hinting at the possibility of selling and making virtual goods as well as offering a virtual currency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
• Powerhouse corporate escape game company Emeraude Escape has already begun developing escape games for the Metaverse environment.
• Microsoft is working on virtual offices and working environments in the metaverse and announced the platform will enable virtual collaboration by turning co-workers into holograms viewable through augmented reality glasses. These holographic avatars will be able to interact with virtual things that appear in each user’s physical environment, creating a mixed reality experience for users.

Will the Metaverse for Business see increased opportunities?

Following a shift in the relationship between corporate culture and digital/virtual processes, a growing appreciation for the “work from home” model, and “Zoom Fatigue” which is said to be the cause of increased burnout, stress and fatigue becoming more prevalent, the Metaverse could be a mecca for corporate environments. A 2020 study by global recruitment company Robert Half found that 89% of businesses expect hybrid working to be a permanent change following the pandemic and as a result of this transition companies are investing in virtual technologies. If big companies can follow through on their big ambitions for advancements in the metaverse space, access to resources, interactivity, inspiration, and engagement within the workspace are set to see a big increase. Upon the process improvements, the workplace environment could also see great improvements with the dismantling of physical boundaries,  health and safety concerns, accessibility disparities, and overuse of resources.
