Apart from elaborating on the immersive experiences in the metaverse, Bhushan said its principles were – “Persistence/Continuity.

“In the metaverse, when someone walks out and then comes back, it’s not the same. Just the way when we step out of a retail outlet and go back after some time, the business has happened and more people came in and the stock has probably run out, purchases are done. It’s the same way in Metaverse,” he said.

“Interoperability – A particular experience can be enjoyed using multiple devices. So, you use an app on your smartphone and then you use the same platform using your computer and you want it exactly where you left it,” he added.

The attendees at the session also got to know about MetaSpark, a tool that can bring multiple things to one single page – a dashboard.

Further, the session was backed by various case studies by Zwift, Byju’s, Lakme and several other brands.

The case studies revealed how these brands are using AR and metaverse to woo more and more consumers and provide them with an immersive experience through their platforms.
