Experts Spotlight Industrial Metaverse Use Cases - MWC 2024
Impacting real-world outcomes through virtual representation requires a full-stack approach
The industrial metaverse is the natural evolution of the consumer metaverse. It has the potential to transform the manufacturing industry but it needs collaboration, technology and interoperability baked into its development.
A panel at Mobile World Congress 2024, taking place in Barcelona on Feb. 26 to 29, said that the industrial metaverse is already being used in a wide range of industries and will continue to grow. AI and metaverse will accelerate each other's growth, but there is a need for a physical representation of the physical world to train AI algorithms.
Defining the Metaverse
Panel members began by giving their interpretation of the metaverse.
Anissa Bellini, head of strategy for the manufacturing industries at Dassault Systèmes, described the industrial metaverse as a “virtual personal universe” as it is the convergence between a visual representation of something real but connected with the physical object.
