Unlocking the Metaverse Highly comprehensive resource providing insight into how the “Metaverse,” and digital worlds in general, can be leveraged for business success

Unlocking the Metaverse focuses on the strategic implementation of processes and the execution of Metaverse strategies, technologies, and innovations and provides readers with real world tools and strategies to succeed with market demands. The text provides a clear and concise description of what the Metaverse is and what its value means to readers and their companies.

A continuous interaction with readers inside the book’s virtual world in the Metaverse provides both structured and unstructured interactions with the highly qualified author and his guests in periodic and ongoing public events, serving as a repository of continuous learning and a sandbox for continuous innovations to be explored, analyzed, and reported.

Unlocking the Metaverse covers sample topics such as:

Construction documents and drawings, covering building information modeling (BIM), digital twins, virtual worlds, the metaverse, and level of experience/engagement measures
Specifications changing role, covering specification manuals, lifecycle, 3D geolocation specs, and 3D search
Smart contracts and tokenomics, DLT/blockchain, smart contracts, NFTs/FTs (digital building/digital asset), fractionalized ownership and digital real estate, and CBDCs, stablecoins, and crypto
Future outlooks, covering machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) as a whole, and its probable applications in gaming and robotics

Providing authoritative coverage of an important and fast-evolving industry, Unlocking the Metaverse is an essential resource for architects, engineers, and contractors, facility managers and operators, and property owners who want to stay on the cutting edge of new forms of technology and leverage them to increase business success.
