It’s too early to know if the metaverse is more than a hype, but it’s a powerful idea that’s already driving investment. Facebook, now Meta, has done more to push the idea into the mainstream and is pouring vast resources into augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) devices and operating systems for both, but they’re not alone. Apple, Snapchat, Samsung and Microsoft all have, or soon will have, AR or VR devices and developer tools in development. Many gaming and design platforms such as Roblox, Nvidia, Unity, and Epic are also investing in the metaverse.
We are at the beginning of a wave of AR and VR devices. According to International Data Corporation, AR shipments will increase from 1 million in 2021 to 21 million in 2025 and VR shipments from 8 million to 29 million. The first generation of these devices dates back years, but the influx of research dollars, better tools and sensors for developers, and faster radio technologies, such as 5G networks, will spur the development of products that consumers will buy.
