World Economic Forum: 3D Scan of your Face so your ‘Digital Self’ can live in the Metaverse

World Economic Forum: 3D Scan of your Face so your ‘Digital Self’ can live in the Metaverse. When Facebook rebranded itself last October, all of a sudden this tech term exploded. It attempts to redefine what VR (Virtual Reality), AR(Augmented Reality) means and how it interacts with the digital economy and digital goods. Maybe in pre pandemic times, the idea of a VR metaverse might seem more far fetched than it is today. Our need to communicate, interact and be part of a group seems more important than ever in the face of increasing isolation due to lockdowns, working from home and travel restricted life. Given that we’re all spending time talking over video meetings, voice calls, and slack anyway, it doesn’t seem that far of a jump to literally be in a VR world together, and for some people that might be that social shooter they need in order to stay sane. At this very moment, unless you’re Mark Zuckerberg, I don’t think any of us can confidently say exactly where the metaverse will end up. Whether it’ll be ubiquitous like the Internet or if it’ll be a technology footnote like Myspace. A precursor to what is to come, but not that we ultimately end up with. Polyga, being in the business of manufacturing 3D Scanners, looked at the Metaverse and its many areas where 3D scanning can be critical to accelerate the creation of a metaverse.
