Preparing for a trip used to mean that youd pack your overnight bag, ensure you had your printed ticket and passport at the ready, and set your alarm for your early commute to the airport (though undoubtedly following a night of tossing and turning in fear that youd sleep in). Some of us may think back to those halcyon days with fondness times when travel seemed simpler and we neednt think about health passports or long queues through airport security.
But with time – and often necessity – comes innovation. A digitally-connected world has opened virtual doors to a reality where we can be immersed in other worldly experiences without leaving our desk or armchair: The Metaverse.
According to a recent survey of more than 2,500 U.S. adults by Axios, people are more likely to fear the metaverse than be excited about it, with one-third of respondents saying it made them more scared, and just 7% responding more excited.
So, how do we alleviate that fear and make the metaverse a less daunting place? We demonstrate examples of where it could be used in peoples lives to make something simpler, like simplifying travel for instance. So, put on your interactive headset (maybe some glasses or even contact lenses in future) and join us for a business trip like no other.
