The Metaverse is a virtual world in constant change that constitutes an exceptional opportunity. This technological universe has transformed the way we interact, unlocking endless exciting possibilities.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has unveiled a training initiative for astronauts using virtual reality (VR) headsets and Metaverse technology to prepare them for life on a lunar space station.
During virtual reality tests, astronauts simulate everyday tasks on the Gateway space station of the Artemis missions. These tasks include science experiments, retrieving supplies, and preparing meals. NASA uses astronaut feedback and virtual reality models to improve the safety and comfort of the space station’s interior design.
Health and Metaverse: The Lucrative Shift
According to a study by the consulting firm Markets and Markets, the astronomical growth that the Metaverse will experience applied to health will be from $9.5 billion in 2023 to $79.6 billion in 2028.
