|
||
<p className="mt-6 text-xl leading-8">
|
||
During Day 1 of the Arab Meta Summit 2022, Omrei Abu Madi, co-founder of OurVerse and a visionary in both the tech and tourism industries, discussed the real-world applications of the Metaverse, particularly focusing on Augmented Reality (AR).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<div className="mt-10 max-w-2xl">
|
||
<p>
|
||
With over a decade of experience in the tech sector, Omrei highlighted how technology, specifically the Metaverse,
|
||
is transforming various industries, enhancing human interactions, and creating immersive, digital experiences that can
|
||
revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2 className="mt-16 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900">Merging Real and Virtual Worlds</h2>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
Omrei began by explaining how the Metaverse merges the digital and physical worlds, creating a seamless environment
|
||
where users can interact in real-time through avatars. In this virtual realm, individuals can use their creativity
|
||
to design characters, objects, and innovative ways of interacting, similar to the real world but with limitless possibilities.
|
||
By integrating AR into the Metaverse, these virtual interactions become even more realistic, enhancing the user experience.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
This merging of real and virtual worlds offers significant opportunities for industries like tourism, where customers can
|
||
virtually explore destinations or hotel rooms before making any bookings. Omrei illustrated this by describing how his team
|
||
developed an interactive virtual experience for the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai. Customers were able to virtually tour hotels
|
||
and resorts, offering a tangible preview of what to expect in the real world. Such technology bridges the gap between expectation
|
||
and reality, significantly improving the customer experience in the tourism industry.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">Aviva Technologies also offers a shared revenue model through its Aviva Ambassadors program,
|
||
which allows companies to onboard metaverse projects from different countries, leveraging a collective approach to development.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2 className="mt-16 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900">Real-World Applications Across Multiple Industries</h2>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
Omrei emphasized that the applications of the Metaverse and AR go far beyond tourism. Real estate, for example, benefits immensely
|
||
from virtual property tours, where clients can explore and interact with properties before purchasing. Similarly, e-commerce
|
||
has found a home in the Metaverse, allowing customers to browse products in 3D, offering an engaging alternative to traditional online
|
||
shopping. Customers can now experience products virtually as if they were in a physical store, helping them make more informed
|
||
purchasing decisions.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
He also discussed how businesses can set up virtual stores or experiences in the Metaverse, offering new avenues for revenue generation.
|
||
Retailers, for example, can lease virtual space to showcase products in a digital showroom or marketplace, reaching a broader audience
|
||
without the need for physical infrastructure.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2 className="mt-16 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900">Overcoming Technological Challenges</h2>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
Omrei acknowledged the technological hurdles that exist in the Metaverse today, including the challenge of integrating
|
||
high-quality virtual experiences while maintaining device compatibility. His team at Aviva Technologies worked extensively
|
||
to optimize 3D environments for a variety of devices, ensuring that users could experience the Metaverse without needing high-end
|
||
hardware.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
Another significant achievement Omrei highlighted was the creation of a scalable, immersive virtual environment that allows
|
||
for massive virtual spaces. For instance, they developed a billion-square-meter virtual city where users from around the world can
|
||
interact, buy, sell, and collaborate within a shared digital space. These advancements show how the Metaverse can be harnessed to
|
||
create expansive, accessible, and engaging digital environments.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2 className="mt-16 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-900">The Future of Metaverse and AR</h2>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
Looking ahead, Omrei stressed the importance of continuing to innovate and refine Metaverse technologies.
|
||
He noted that as AR and Metaverse platforms evolve, they will offer more realistic and engaging experiences across industries,
|
||
from real estate and e-commerce to entertainment and social media.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p className="mt-6">
|
||
In conclusion, Omrei Abu Madi’s presentation at the Arab Meta Summit 2022 illustrated the vast potential of
|
||
the Metaverse and AR in real-world applications. By breaking down the barriers between the virtual and physical worlds,
|
||
the Metaverse is set to revolutionize industries, enhance user experiences, and create new opportunities for businesses and
|
||
individuals alike.
