About the Book

The metaverse, a loosely defined term, has gone from a virtual game world to the next internet and sparks conversations on technology’s potential. Despite eye-rolling at terms like metaverse and eXtended Reality (XR), immersive technologies are silently becoming part of our daily life through social media, virtual collaboration, and digitized experiences. We seamlessly embrace digital tools, scanning codes, engaging in virtual trials, and altering reality through digital filters. In this evolving landscape, computer vision and AI consistently redefine our perception of reality.

Even though businesses hesitate to invest without a clear outcome, an initial investment is required to ascertain them.
