MobiDev Explains Metaverse App Development

It’s clear that the future of the Internet will arrive sooner rather than later. According to Bloomberg, metaverse technologies will be an $800 billion market this year in 2022. MobiDev AI experts explored a number of technologies to understand how  businesses can create their own metaverse applications. See how MobiDev explains Metaverse App Development for business leaders.

AR and VR 

In order to experience virtual reality, the user needs a special VR headset, which is quite bulky and doesn’t allow the head or body movements needed to get the full experience. In 2022, Meta introduced additions to its Spark AR platform such as voice effects, improved depth mapping, and effects blending to help developers create metaverse applications. Features like this that allow AR effects to respond to sound can help you to create an even more engaging environment. 

AI in Metaverse

Creating lifelike 3D spaces, delivering more realistic experiences, and running complex calculations necessary for AR face tracking and other tasks are best handled by AI. Artificial intelligence can complete these tasks more efficiently than humans in far less time. Self-supervised learning will greatly increase the efficiency of AI-powered systems. 

NLP

As a subset of artificial intelligence, nlp is an advanced way for AI to interpret and emulate human speech. Not only can it be used for customer service chatbots and virtual assistants, but also it makes the metaverse more accessible for diverse groups of people. For example, AI technology can instantly transcribe the conversation of a group of people, making communication within a metaverse application accessible to users with hearing disabilities.

Virtual Assistant Technology

One important role that virtual assistants can help with in the metaverse is customer service. Virtual assistants can perform language translation, financial management, and much more. Since shopping experiences in the metaverse will be highly immersive, conversational AI will be very useful for giving shoppers the opportunity to ask virtual customer service avatars about the characteristics of the goods, payment terms, discounts and the like.

Computer Vision

One of the limitations of VR and AR experiences is control. Hardware controllers, gloves, or other kinds of physical devices can be used to input into the device. However, computer vision can help make this experience more natural by using hand tracking. By recognizing gestures and finger positions, users can interact with their devices more naturally and freely. Computer vision in the metaverse doesn’t just stop there. ReadyPlayerMe uses face recognition to create a virtual avatar from a user’s selfie.

Human Pose Estimation

HPE recognizes body parts and their positions in an environment, while another practice called action recognition can identify more complex interactive activities like grabbing items or pushing buttons. Users can synchronize their motion to a chosen avatar and dive into the digital world.

Blockchain’s role

Centralized data storage is problematic in the metaverse because of the barriers to the flow of information. A more open solution like a blockchain can allow for a more fluid flow of information and proof of ownership for digital assets. Due to this, there is high demand for development of systems that can support cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens. 

IoT

Internet of Things devices and sensors are critical for providing high-quality real-time data to AI systems for analysis. One of the most useful applications of IoT in the metaverse are digital twins. This technique utilizes IoT sensors to create a digital version of an environment or system. Using augmented reality technologies with IoT sensors to bring the real world into the digital, and the digital into the real world will revolutionize metaverse technologies.
