User experience and user interface (UI/UX) are central to the Web’s business strategy. But it often raises questions about equity. Here’s hoping the metaverse gets better.
The metaverse may be in pieces, but developers are working on ways to make it accessible to all.
Consider this: you put on two real -time (VR) glasses and are immediately taken away…. In this world, you can live as an avatar, but your actions and deeds in the real world, captured by experts, are translated. Along the way, you and other users develop a community, connected by digital personas that everyone can participate in through games and platforms.
That is, in short, the idea behind the metaverse: a digital reality that is always seen by real world observers. In most minds, the metaverse is used for play and fun. But that vision is limited, because the metaverse can integrate with augmented reality (AR). And it’s better to use it than to play. The metaverse can be used for mental health training, professional meetings, health care and professional activities.
For India, a country with a large number of users in video games, social media, e -commerce, and more – the nation is expected to play a major role in the emergence of the metaverse and its re -growth. In addition, Indian IT companies are expanding their metaverse suite to enable more efficient and faster business growth. If this trend continues, the coming years will see a more comprehensive presentation of metaverse data by Indian companies to give their share in the development of the metaverse. It is hoped that India will lead the design, development, and implementation of Metaverse technology in the future.
The metaverse can bring significant benefits for first -time users. These benefits include business opportunities for professionals, access to health care for people in remote areas, and employment opportunities for programmers or technicians.
Many scholars are beginning to say that, as the metaverse grows, it is important to build with diversity, equity, and inclusion in its foundation to ensure the separation of interests. of nascent technology.
“Different voices need new features that can tell important stories and share relevant information through AR (augmented reality) and VR,” said IEEE Senior Member David Krum. “This knowledge can teach us all about each other. This knowledge can also be shared with small users so that they can see their knowledge and the stories that are shared.
How is METAVERSE developing now?
The structural layers of the metaverse are in the form of augmented object and actual reality, but none of the segments are available.
“Depending on what you look at, the metaverse is either too close or too far away,” says IEEE member Todd Richmond.
Many parts of the metaverse, for example, are used in online gaming games. VR systems also facilitate the movement of users. But most of these powers were not combined into one.
“However, these areas need to be integrated to become a key metaverse platform,” Krum said. “It will take time and work for a team of developers to implement, integrate, and test standards and systems to serve a wide range of immersive experiences.”
THE RELEASE OF THE PAPERS IN PRAISE
The cost, Krum and Richmond say, is likely to be one of the biggest barriers to entry.
“Areas that are supposed to be highly dependent, as a matter of fact, are not accessible to many in developed lands, and are not accessible to most developed lands at all,” he said. part of Richmond.
And the technology and the speed of the internet are just two reasons. Krum notes that more people with more income are more likely to access the metaverse, as users are required to access a space between 6 feet and 6 feet per a truly immersive experience.
But in addition to the cost, there are other problems.
“Finding people with sensory or movement problems is a serious problem,” Krum said.
ACTIVITIES IN THE PAPER
Although the development of the metaverse is in the early stages, some very good practices remain. Fixed captioning is more common, Krum said, as are other ways to interact with systems and the ability to choose difficult levels in the game.
“VR often uses information as a primary sensory medium, so it can be difficult to convert visual information into other forms of activity. However, audio information can be very powerful, and that’s a good thing. developers allow developers to build a wide range of visuals designed to become 3D audio.
In a recent blog post, Richmond argued that user experience and user interface (UI/UX) are central to the Web’s business strategy. But it often raises questions about equity. He thinks the metaverse will be better.
“We’re working on a series of initiatives to address this called EI/EX – Equitable Interfaces, Ethical Experiences,” Richmond said. “Inspired by UI / UX design, we believe that questions of balance and ethics should be at the center of the design of technology capabilities in the metaverse (and beyond).
