Metaverse is currently in its infancy Today , the metaverse is still in its infancy . “ Currently , it isn ’ t much more than a set of disconnected and proprietary AR and VR experiences – with a lofty vision of interconnectedness and immersion ,” explains Simon Allardice , Principal Author at Pluralsight .
Because of this , it ’ s easy to write the concept of the metaverse off as simply another technology buzzword .

“ Only time will tell if the metaverse ever does live up to its name ,” Allardice comments . “ For now , it is a useful shorth and way of describing the mostly predictive , mostly future-looking process of trying to combine all of these disparate technologies including VR , AR , artificial intelligence , pervasive cloud infrastructure , and multiplayer gaming .”
The hype might have died down , but organisations looking to harness the metaverse must ensure they have the requisite tech skills .
“ For many technologists , it ’ s a reality that organisations will begin demanding that their tech workforce has the skills needed to help build out the metaverse through increased focus on AR , VR , and related technologies ,” says Allardice .
