Work has already begun for the metaverse, ‘virtual or fictional universe’, which has just entered our lives and which we will definitely experience in the future. Here, every activity we can do in real life is developed by combining Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) glasses.
In the last 10 years, artificial intelligence-based software, wearable technologies and mobile technologies that will bring the office to the home have been developing rapidly. Global technology leader Epson also works as one of the companies that offers the most accurate solutions in this field. In addition to printing machines, scanners, projectors and software, it offers solutions with robotic technologies and artificial intelligence-based wearable devices. While developing VR glasses with its AR technology infrastructure, Epson primarily designs and develops user-friendly and sustainable products.
Epson Imaging Products Manager Mustafa Akmaz talks about the studies on the metaverse: “We believed that the technologies in sci-fi movies would come true. Because we thought that people had visions of the future instead of science-fiction. For example, the first mobile phone idea was inspired by the movie “Star Trek.” I believe that it will be a part of our lives. So who knew that online shopping would increase this much, but it has happened, now it’s time to move the online shopping system to the metaverse, that is, we will be able to examine and even try the products in a virtual environment as if they were actually there while shopping remotely. I recommend it to those who are curious about this experience “Valerian and watching the movie “Empire of a Thousand Planets.” day people We think that people can spend their time (such as entertainment and art) here. Designing life as a ‘virtual universe’ may seem far away for now, but ‘Avatar’ inspires us. As Epson, we are trying to open the doors of this universe with our smart glasses.”
