With the advancement of technology, innovations always appear every year. These innovations can simplify human life, and can even become a promising digital economy platform.
The latest, metaverse technology is predicted to be able to open access to a large digital economy. This metaverse technology allows the synchronization of the virtual world with the real world. That is, the virtual world will be able to resemble the real world.
According to Telkomsel’s President Commissioner Wishnutama Kusubandio, he said that this metaverse technology must be viewed in its entirety and comprehensively, not only seen for virtual experiences.
He stated that metaverse technology is a place for anyone not to miss the trend or recently known as Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). He said, “Regarding the development of metaverse technology, we should not just follow trends or FOMO.”
With careful use, this metaverse technology can change the world to be more sophisticated. This is also supported by the emergence of 5G technology. This is what is predicted to have a high potential for the digital economy.
He added, this metaverse has become like a digital country, which even has its financial system. This new world departs from blockchain, cryptocurrency, web3, and so on. This will make the metaverse perfect.
However, the development of this metaverse technology is not that simple. This development requires more effort. Even for companies that have been preparing for the metaverse for a long time, such as Facebook with its Meta, SANDBOX, and decentral, they still need more time to prepare technology that can change the world in the future.
Apple is ready to dive into metaverse world
Apple CEO, Tim Cook, stated that he had seen a lot of potential in the metaverse. He said Apple had started investing in the technology.
“There’s a lot of potential in that space and we’re starting to invest there,” Cook said in the company’s earnings report.
Cook added that Apple is a company that does business in innovation. He also explained that Apple has more than 14,000 augmented reality (AR)-based applications in the App Store.
To enter the world of the metaverse, users need additional tools such as a virtual reality (VR) headset. In recent months, Apple has been rumored to be working on a VR headset that may be released in 2022.
