Industry 3.1 Metaverse industry framework Given the broad contents in and different understandings of the Metaverse, a unified industry framework is critical for analyzing the industry, developing solutions, and other Metaverse-related work in a structured way. We view the Metaverse as a large enterprise application with four layers: Access layer: VR/AR, somatosensory devices, brain-computer interfaces, and other technologies that connect users to the Metaverse. There are numerous enterprises already involved in Metaverse. Our framework for the Metaverse industry below facilitates analysis of the sector, related companies, and different business applications. Application layer: Generates all digital contents and applications, including environment building, industrial manufacturing applications, games, social activities, digital artworks, economic activity, and virtual offices. Technology platform layer: Contains technologies that support virtual community building, community rules and application development, including the generation and import of virtual infrastructures such as blocks and architectures; supporting technologies such as game engines and content distribution platforms; and AI algorithms that support intelligent applications and interaction. Technology infrastructure layer: The underlying technologies of the Metaverse including internet, IoT, 5G/6G, and cloud computing. We use this industry framework to compare different participants in the Metaverse. People wanting to enter the Metaverse or investors and companies can use this to identify specific opportunities in the Metaverse industry. Figure28: Industry Framework Source: Deloitte analysis
