Ready, Steady, Avatar!

Hyper-realistic landscape and experience generation Generative AI is rapidly becoming a significant enabler in metaverse landscape generation. It can generate realistic avatars, automate landscape creation, and even create realistic images from text descriptions or simple drawings with OpenAI's DALL-E 2 and NVIDIA's GauGAN2. 3 AI can also adjust difficulty modes in gaming according to a player's skill, provide person- alized virtual sensory experiences tailored to specific user disabilities, help students by changing learning paths and recommending additional training based on their progress, and provide users with customized sports plans by analyzing real-time analytics from IoT devices. Immersive experiments at scale By leveraging the metaverse, companies can employ AI-driven experimentation and testing to lower their risk levels while simultaneously cutting down on costs when launching new projects. Enterprises can better understand consumer behavior through immersive, interactive environ- ments facilitating hot-state decision-making. This revolutionary approach yields more meaningful insights than conventional market research and online purchases alone 4 . Through this platform, researchers can learn how shoppers react to changes — such as product packaging, look and feel, and display campaigns — in real time to implement them quickly and efficiently in the physical world. Moreover, AI tools within the metaverse allow businesses to gain insights into loyalty, churn prevention,

and how specific demographics respond differently to campaigns or displays. This empowers them to make more informed product and marketing strategy decisions. Inclusive and equitable experiences Those at the forefront of virtual reality innova- tion should prioritize creating an inclusive metaverse (that celebrates diversity) through artificial intelligence. AI can help people with disabilities access various elements of the digital world. For example, image recognition and automatic translation enable visually impaired and hard-of-hearing individuals to interact with the metaverse easily ⁵ . Moreover, specially-abled persons can also experience the exciting possibilities of the metaverse thanks to modern technology like intelligent exoskeletons and brain-computer interfaces. Through summarization and content relevance features, AI helps disadvantaged groups (in terms of education or language) access quality information. An ethical review should guide feature selection and model development to ensure fairness, preventing potential bias. AI models should be transparent and observable to avoid misuse and mitigate hate speech, particularly those used for conversation and content moderation. These methods can ensure equal access to the metaverse for individuals of all backgrounds.

“By 2026, 30% of the organizations in the world will have products and services ready for metaverse.” Marty Resnick, Research VP at Gartner 6
