Integrating SLAM Technology in Metaverse Augmented Reality Boosts Asia Pacific Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Market
AR offers a diverse array of experiences, each with distinctive features and applications, contributing to its increasing versatility and popularity. Metaverse augmented reality primarily refers to the integration of AR technology within the framework of the metaverse. The metaverse is a combined virtual shared space that brings together the aspects of online gaming, virtual reality, social media, augmented reality, and other immersive technologies. The metaverse concept is an interconnected digital universe where individuals can relate with each other and with digital objects in real time.
Metaverse AR undertakes the capacities of conventional AR and expands them into the virtual world of the metaverse. It acts as a connection between the physical and digital realms, allowing users to experience AR not only in their immediate physical environment but also within the virtual spaces of the metaverse. Leveraging technologies such as SLAM and GPS, AR encompasses virtual content to the real world, allowing continuous interaction with digital elements. SLAM is beneficial in navigation apps, interior design, and industrial applications, enabling the overlay of virtual information onto the real-world environment without specific markers. The concepts of AR and the metaverse are rapidly gaining global interest as the future of technology. In 2022, Epic Games received US$ 2 billion in funding from Sony and KIRKBI to advance Epic's metaverse expansion plans. In 2022, Autodesk, Inc. acquired The Wild, a cloud-connected, extended reality (XR) platform, which includes its namesake solutions, The Wild and IrisVR. Through the acquisition, Autodesk aims to meet the strengthening demand for AR and virtual reality (VR) technology advancements globally. In May 2024, Magic Leap signed a multi-faceted, strategic technology partnership with Google to bring a wider range of immersive AR/VR experiences to its end users. The developing SLAM technology and its increasing application in AR, VR, and the metaverse are offering positive opportunities in the market.
