Metaverse: Open Source Foundation for the Evolution of Our Digital World - David Treat, Accenture

The metaverse provides enormous potential for consumers and businesses and is the next iteration of our digital future. It is revolutionizing how we work and opening new doors for value generation across industries. The metaverse is also transforming economies and social spaces, as an ever-expanding Internet of Place and Ownership. To tap into this potential, businesses can pair technology with creativity, driving experiences that will invigorate our lives, work and society. Metaverse is a buzzword with fluctuating definitions. Is it the same as Web3? Are there other words to define it? Will my company look cool if we say it? And does it really matter? Some have a short-sighted vision of the metaverse as a bleak, computerized world powered by people in virtual reality (VR) headsets. But once we cut through the misconceptions and hype, its potential is clear. The swath of contingent technologies will evolve and converge to open bold new opportunities for businesses and consumers. In this talk, we explore how we can create an open source foundation for the evolution of our digital world.
