The metaverse means different things to different people. But to S&P Global Market Intelligence 451 senior research analyst Ian Hughes, the metaverse is the long-term vision for the next phase of the internet.

It will not replace the physical world, so much as enhance it. While AI has taken up a great deal of oxygen in the tech investment space, the metaverse cannot be ignored. The first quarter saw a record amount of investment in metaverse technologies. Saudi Arabia is spending $500 billion on a new city that begins with designs in the metaverse. Manufacturers are creating digital twins for new factories. And enterprises are coalescing around the OpenUSD standard, opening the door for a path to true interoperability.
