"We assess that metaverse technologies—that is, AI systems, immersive technologies, and enabling digital technologies—will continue to be integrated across new markets and create new demands for immersive experiences. We anticipate this will drive an increased TAV. We also assess that the metaverse concept is at an inflection point. As a result, uncertainties exist in assessing how the metaverse will expand, how large it will become, and whether it will become an expansive virtual world that directly competes with the physical world. We do assess that by the end of our study’s ten-year horizon, the conceptualization of this internet-like, immersive environment with virtual spaces will probably feel functionally more like an enhanced version of the IoT today than the metaverse that some have aspirationally described."
