TOP 6 industrial Use Cases of Metaverse for CSP’s 5G monetization
Product design and engineering
- Augmented reality (AR) and extended reality (XR) are already being used in the industry to accelerate the design and prototyping of new products.
- Company is using it to stream and work on 3D graphics.
- It reduces product development costs and improves time to market.
- It allows engineers to visualize their own 3D CAD models and work collaboratively on them.
- It can be used for design reviews, assembly checks, and for training as well.
- It will save the cost from not having to build and ship so many real prototypes.
- Team can evaluate the prototypes first virtually from different location.
- Here, travelling cost will also save.
- Another cost saving factor is durability of 3D graphics. Physical prototype may break if we use them frequently.
Hands-on training
- One of the major use cases for metaverse technologies is training. Trainer can provide training to trainee across the without traveling to the training location.
- It is only possible by using virtual reality (VR). It is more like practical and hands on experience by using VR technology.
- It is also possible to make visible for invisible one for the training point of view.
For example, 5G base stations where radio waves propagation is invisible but in VR and AR they can be made visible, so trainees can better understand capabilities like antenna beam-forming.
Surgery planning and support in Healthcare
- We can imagine the potential of the metaverse technologies in healthcare by looking at stunning VR-guided operation to separate Brazilian conjoined twins Bernardo and Arthur Lima in August 2022.
- We are still in the early stage of massive adoption of the remote surgery.
- Holo-light is providing a tremendous surgery focused AR and VR solution and Enhatch is already started to use the solution and proving the value in the operating theatre.
- Enhatch AI software solutions use 2D scans of bones and body parts and make them into 3D objects. The AR and VR solution can be used to visualize these 3D scans and use them for training and proper planning for surgery.
- VR solutions are being used by Enhatch for providing a virtual training room. Surgeon can plan the surgery efficiently with the help of virtual image of the relevant body part overlaid on the real one.
- AR and VR technology solution will be used massively subject to regulatory approval.
- AR and VR solutions that are cloud based provide several benefits like ability to comply data protection regulation as the data is always stays at cloud storage. The data is never stored in local device, so minimizing the risk of data loss.
Employee on boarding
- Pandemic has taught us many things including remote work and remote employee on boarding from across the geographic locations.
- New employee welcoming and socialisation of new employee with colleague is become difficult. We can remove these difficulties with the help of metaverse technology.
- It is not just like video conferencing, it will provide much more immersive experience. Each member will join using VR headset and will see other member as an avatars.
- It is possible to project full 3D hologram in AR glasses and all the members will feel they are present in the same room. 5G deployment with edge computing will make this possible.
Virtual services for hands-on work
- One of the critical use case of metaverse is virtual guidance for field worker like rescue workers, field technicians and fire-fighters etc.
- Experts from any location can guide them using AR and work can be done without traveling to that particular location.
Networking, socializing
- We have already experienced the remote working.
- We have realised the missing of socialization in the workplace and being connected with colleague.
- Metaverse will provide sustainability benefits as well as better ways to network and collaborate.
Are you ready with the new revolution?
All the use cases mentioned above are started using by the various companies across the domain. Metaverse is already in the market and it just matter of time and regulatory approval when metaverse market will boom. Metaverse is already delivering benefits like lower costs, faster time to market, and a greater sense of inclusion.
