By 2030, sectors such as retail, manufacturing, media, healthcare, telecom, professional services and banking are likely to be major spend drivers of enterprise use cases in the metaverse, according to the study by Nasscom and McKinsey & Company.
“We are beginning to see a more nuanced and thoughtful approach to designing an immersive experience whether it is creating virtualized sales channels with NFTs or digital twins for product design,” said Sangeeta Gupta, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at Nasscom.
Emerging use cases in customer engagement, multi-channel customer support, and real-time simulations for product design are gaining traction, the report mentioned.
Several initiatives are underway, such as re-imagining learning and development using gamified AR/VR based learning suites with virtual instructors, creating immersive recruitment and employee onboarding with avatar interaction, networking with employees at job fairs and imagining digital twin offices for employee collaborations and meetings.
However, the technology’s at-scale potential will be determined by factors such as, clarity on return on investment (RoI), technology and talent readiness, and the ability to address societal concerns, the findings showed.
