This is the value proposition for the metaverse: "The constraint of dealing with highly complex products is no longer a lack of data and insights, but rather, how humans best assimilate and act on the massive amounts of product-usage data that can now be gathered, stored and analyzed by a variety of applications. This gulf between the real and digital worlds requires people to mentally translate the volumes of 2-D information now available to us for use in a 3-D world." But we'll still need a technological leap before we get there; pople aren't going to navigate the world wearing Oculus headsets or even Google Glass. What will the killer interface look like? Think smart contact lenses. Image: Insights.
