With a technology as complex as something that may succeed the internet, contributions from citizen and professional developers alike may similarly shape much of the metaverse.
The contributions may improve accessibility dramatically, connect us to loved ones around the world much faster and in a more real, life-like way, and provide advanced training opportunities for education and careers, but the innovation will need proper regulation too.
>> Here's why The metaverse isn't just for games. Experts increasingly think it has applications in the enterprise, including for predictive maintenance.
Looking ahead, the metaverse could be adapted to use cases in retail and other industries currently less reliant on simulation. As companies increasingly adopt automation and robotics technologies, the metaverse could play a role here, too.

It's expected to take shape over the next decade with technologies such as AR, VR, IoT, 5G, blockchain, and cloud computing coming together and interacting with one another. A few companies are already contributing to the emergence of this virtual space.
>> Here are seven ways it will shape the enterprise. Just as identity and authentication is pivotal to today's world, the metaverse will also require people to prove who they are.
How identity ultimately unfolds in the metaverse remains to be seen, but early evidence suggests that it will bring our real-world and online identities closer together.
>> Here's how. While it's difficult to put something as vast, conceptual, and, frankly, still emerging as the metaverse in quantifiable terms, some experts break it down into layers, specifically seven.
This, of course, isn't the first seven-layer model to lay out a critical framework. The IT world has long adhered to the seven layers of the OSI Model to organize networking functions into a universal set of rules and requirements to support interoperability among different products and software. Perhaps the seven-layer model will become a similar conceptual framework for the metaverse.

Enterprises are considering – or already embracing – metaverse technologies for upskilling and training. But certain challenges stand in the way.
>> Read more about what's ahead. Cyberattacks old and new will inevitably find their way into the metaverse, highlighting a requirement for immersive virtual worlds to provide strong security from their inception.
However, experts say that monitoring the metaverse and detecting attacks on these new platforms will "be more complex" than on current platforms.
>> Read more. The numbers of users isn't the only thing that matters when it comes to building a metaverse that people actually want to go to. It's challenging to predict who will win, as the incumbents in the space — game companies — may not have an advantage if another party enters the space and creates an ambitious next-generation metaverse.
