The Metaverse – New experience for business ecosystems
There is great interest in the technology industry regarding the “The Metaverse”, but what is the Metaverse, and what does this mean in a business context?
Can we build applications and systems that deliver business and commercial value with, or within, the Metaverse?
The aim of this year’s Atos IT Challenge is to produce an application that demonstrates a practical Metaverse use case that will deliver business value.
Metaverse in business – Exploring new modes of working
| New modes of operating
With the generalization of hybrid virtual and physical processes |
New modes of relating
Between humans and robotic entities, through augmented reality and eventually brain-computer interfaces |
| New modes of value and business
Leveraging a new generation of business ecosystems which leverage data marketplaces |
New modes of being
Helped by AI, with new virtual expressions of our human existence |
Technology – Areas of investigation
Possible area of investigation:
- Digital Twins and digital worlds (Operating)
- Computer interfaces (Relating)
- Data ecosystems and economies (Value)
- AI (Being)
Technologies of interest:
- VR/AR/MR platforms – Oculus Rift and Quest, Microsoft Hololens, Valve Index, HTC Vive and others
- Universal Scene Description (USD) specification for 3D computer graphics interchange
- Blender, Apple’s Scenekit, Autodesk 3ds Max
- SteamVR, OpenXR
- Blockchain and NFTs
Possible applications – ideas to get you started
- Use of Virtual reality, Augmented Reality or Mixed Reality systems to provide new business working environments
- Interaction with, or complimentary functionality, for collaboration technologies such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom
- A Metaverse match-maker; facilitating one-to-one introductions of business colleagues
- New education and training experiences
- Visualization and modelling of real-world systems
- Market-specific applications in, for instance, Healthcare, Finance, Manufacturing, Transport, Retail…
- A simulated virtual economy for the Metaverse
- A business-oriented version of Sandbox
- Additions to existing Metaverse environments for business applications
Note: The use of Virtual Reality and other similar platforms is welcome, but this is not a requirement to enter the Atos IT Challenge – other project concepts within the Metaverse theme have equal merit.
We look forward to receiving your submission ideas and seeing you bring them to life!
