What Metaverse technologies are already available for training? Which ones will be available soon?

January 20 2022

We are rapidly evolving towards Web 3.0, which will necessarily be 3D.

We don't know how metaverses for training will be in ten years from now. For the time being, they are quite similar to things we all know. These metaverses will coexist with Web 2.0, that is, with LMS, LXP and other corporate systems. It is no so clear whether they will integrate with them or not.

Every time a disruptive change begins, the replacing technology tends to resemble the replaced one and, in addition, both of them coexist. For example, the first automobiles looked like carriages, and there were horses, carts, and automobiles on the streets.

Today, there are no longer any carts on the streets, and automobiles hardly resemble horse-drawn carriages.
