Why Metaverse Is Existential For Future?

Survival of the human race.

The metaverse is more than just a buzzword across the world. Many tech giants have already invested trillions into its origin. Will you imagine that the metaverse is predicted to evolve into a $783.3 billion market by 2024?

Well, you are going to face a generation of consumers well-versed in meta-versal ways, presenting both fantastic opportunities and spiky challenges to your organization's customer engagement strategy.

We should not forget that the advent of the metaverse opens up a world of opportunities, especially when it comes to rebuilding the customer experience. Modern businesses, with web chat, email, social media, SMS, voice and video are options for consumers. The power of the metaverse will allow businesses to expand beyond omnichannel. Moreover, it is reducing the familiar face-to-face and online interactions with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

Progress has secured our basic needs and helped us advance rapidly, yet our higher-order aspirations such as our psychological and self-fulfillment needs are proving to be impossible to satisfy. The survival challenge is no longer just about fighting off animals.

Our basic physiological needs are animal in origin. They are easier to solve, yet our higher-order psychological needs of self-esteem and self-actualization have driven us to accelerate have material consumption that we see all around us today. So in our drive for self-actualization, we leave spent matter in our wake — with dire consequences to life on planet Earth. Ironically, these consequences may ultimately prove to be the checks that nature has in place to balance out our over-consumption in recent centuries.

Simply put, there are just too many of us humans for the planet to support humanity’s physiological and psychological demands.

We’ve already seen the rapid decline and extinction of the animal kingdom in the last 100 years during our rise to reach safety and security, so why would we consider humans immune to the checks and balances nature has so often shown? Future advancement of humanity is going to need more resources than the Earth can provide.

If we are successful and finding or forming a habitable exoplanet, we would have only doubled our physical resources or matter. And this is still likely centuries away.

A Digital Solution: The Metaverse

Perhaps the solution to unfettered human growth does not lie, as imagined by futurists over the last few decades. By increasingly transitioning human experience to digital realities powered by energy, we can significantly reduce our need for matter and space.

The Path Towards a Sustainable Future If we look closely, we are already taking the precursory steps in the right direction to achieve this. Already, we see glimpses of this reality in VR technology, neural interfaces, decentralization, digital assets, and scalable simulation technology. The focus becomes on Earth and our physical existence for well-being and longevity. To optimize our virtual existences where our deeper drive for greatness can colonize with minimal cost to the world around us.

Physically-impossible capabilities will become possible. Experiences will have to be rethought and redesigned anew, yielding entirely new dimensions of capability.

The Inevitability of the Metaverse

At MetaGravity, we are working on what we see as the most foundational next step to bringing this closer to reality. We’re asking ourselves: How do we build simulations of arbitrary scale? This is a much harder problem than many realize. Today’s game engine technology can only support about 100 players. Any more than this a self-consistent real-time simulation has proved to be incredibly difficult to crack. Our mission at MetaGravity is to take a fresh approach to the unsolved problem of scale and compute efficiency derived from first principles. We have already broken the barriers of scale previously achieved by spatial partitioning platforms, with a staggering 90%+ reduction in cloud linear and civilizations and energy consumption.

The future is here, and it is digital reality.
