Frequently asked questions
What technologies does the Metaverse911 Technology explained section cover?
The Metaverse911 Technology explained section offers plain guides to 3D modelling, artificial intelligence, assisted reality, augmented reality (AR), digital twins, the metaverse, mixed reality (MR), NFTs, prompt engineering, virtual reality (VR) and Web3. Each guide explains what the technology is, how it works and where industry uses it.
What is the difference between AR, VR and mixed reality?
Virtual reality (VR) replaces your surroundings with a simulated environment through a headset. Augmented reality (AR) overlays digital elements onto the real world on phones, tablets and AR glasses. Mixed reality (MR) goes further, so virtual and real elements sit together and respond to each other. Metaverse911 has a plain guide to each.
What is assisted reality?
Assisted reality uses hands-free smart glasses, such as RealWear, to show information to a worker while they keep their hands free for the job. The Metaverse911 guide explains how these devices work and where assisted reality helps in manufacturing, field service and remote assistance.
What is a digital twin in manufacturing?
A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical asset, such as a machine or plant, that is kept up to date with sensor and IoT data. The Metaverse911 guide explains how digital twins work, where manufacturing and other industries use them, and how Metaverse911 builds them.
Does Metaverse911 explain Web3 and NFTs for businesses?
Metaverse911 publishes plain guides to Web3 and NFTs for businesses. The Web3 guide covers blockchain, smart contracts and decentralised apps and where businesses use them. The NFT guide explains how blockchain proves ownership and where NFTs are used, from supply chains to ticketing, and how Metaverse911 teaches them to brands.
