Metaverse questions? We have answers.

The metaverse is a rich, persistent, interactive experience featuring co-creation and fully functioning shared economies. As one type of shared immersive experience, the metaverse is an always-on digital environment where visitors can shop, socialize, train for their jobs, play games, take classes, attend meetings, have cultural experiences, and more.

An immersive experience pulls you into a digitally created, often three-dimensional world where you can interact with other visitors, virtual objects, and your environment. Some bring visitors into a fully enveloping virtual reality experience, whereas others take an augmented reality approach, mixing virtual experiences with the physical world. Other immersive experiences may be delivered through the web and other platforms.

The metaverse is one type of immersive experience. It’s unique because it’s an extensive, shared, interactive, always-on virtual world with a fully functioning economy that operates in real time.

The metaverse and shared immersive experiences present important business opportunities, similar to the digital transformation that’s moved much of commerce online over recent decades. The metaverse has the potential to improve customer experiences, build brand awareness, improve communications, and create new economies. Today, immersive content creation tools are already streamlining product design and digital asset creation.

As the metaverse and other shared immersive experiences develop, there will be many opportunities to expand, shift, and evolve the way you do business. Today, companies can prepare for the metaverse by bringing 3D and augmented reality (AR) skill sets in-house. Businesses are already using 3D technology to speed up product design and marketing asset development.

For example, find out how Ben & Jerry's used virtual photography to eliminate travel, food stylist, materials, and location fees.

Brands can start by developing a clearly articulated strategy for how they want to engage in the metaverse, including the types of immersive experiences and content they want to create. Take your deep customer and market understanding and find ways to create value for your customers in this rapidly developing digital space.

Brands can also start developing 3D and shared immersive content creation skill sets now to avoid playing catch-up later on. You can use these skill sets today to bring remarkable efficiency to product design and marketing workflows — and you’ll gain the technical proficiency you need to make the most of the metaverse as it becomes an everyday reality.

Laying the groundwork now for participation in the metaverse and shared immersive experiences will help businesses make the most of the opportunities that will arise. Today, businesses are already using 3D technology to speed up product design and marketing asset development. These businesses will be at an advantage because they’ll have already developed the skills needed to participate in metaverse and immersive experiences — and they will have 3D assets on hand and ready to go when the time is right.

For nearly 40 years, Adobe has helped creative people and brands adapt and succeed through major technological shifts. The development of the metaverse and other immersive experiences is the natural evolution of our leadership, starting with our legacy of desktop publishing and digital imaging, then in personal, content-driven marketing experiences, and now in 3D content creation.

We’ve invested significantly in bringing in new talent and technology in the 3D and immersive field, including with the acquisitions of Mixamo, Allegorithmic, and Medium. We’re committed to helping our customers build the tools, capabilities, and processes they need to succeed as experiences become increasingly immersive and shared.

At Adobe, we believe that everyone should be able to create and participate in the metaverse. We’re committed to providing 3D and immersive creativity tools that allow anyone to express their point of view.

The metaverse will work best for visitors, creators, and brands if experiences share a common set of open standards that let everyone know what to expect. Creators and brands should be able to create and co-create an asset once and distribute it everywhere. We support and contribute to developing the leading 3D file standards, including Universal Scene Description (USD), one of the leading 3D/immersive file formats for authoring, and Graphics Language Transmission Format (Gltf), a standard file format for three-dimensional scenes and models.

Gaming opportunities are set to grow as metaverses become part of our everyday lives. Creators can use Adobe tools like Substance 3D and Aero to create shared immersive experiences and 3D digital assets. As metaverse gaming grows, Adobe is committed to developing 3D and immersive creativity tools that everyone can use to express their point of view, in gaming and beyond.

Changing the world through digital experiences.

Great experiences have the power to inspire, transform, and move the world forward. And every great experience starts with creativity.
