"Metaverse actually has many uses, but maybe humans are not yet ready to accept it."
The telecommunications infrastructure company Nokia, which is still widely remembered as a mobile device manufacturer, has taken advantage of the metaverse to help its employees in remote locations.
According to Robert Joyce, Chief Technical Officer of Nokia Oceania, the company has signed an agreement with a university in Australia to launch a 5G-connected microbrewery through metaverse technology.
In addition, the Nokia company in South Australia is also using metaverse to help Cessna plane technicians at remote airports, where it can have audio instructions in its ear on how to change a wheel or an engine part.
Nokia has a 5G-connected Microsoft HoloLens that can instruct Cessna workers on how to service the aircraft based on augmented reality (AG)*.

In addition, aerospace companies are in the process of building engines and fuselages in the digital world to study how the aircraft will fly.
Joyce also said that spending on the metaverse industry by next year will be five times more than it is now, adding that the use of metaverse will grow even more in the next five years.
This is because he believes blockchain has the potential to play a big role in the metaverse or payment and transfer of digital assets.
