Gartner expects that there will be only one metaverse in the same sense
that there’s only one internet. No single company will own, control or develop
all the necessary technology or build its own metaverse or the metaverse as a
whole. The objective for tech product leaders, then, is to understand the
metaverse’s path and, in response, take some key steps, as the following:
- Build metaverse products
and solutions by generating a pipeline of innovation based on combinatorial emergent technologies, such as spatial
computing, rather than a single “killer app.”
- Identify metaverse-inspired
opportunities by analyzing current high-value use cases, such as gaming,
wayfinding and navigation apps, and virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality
(AR) experiences, vis-a-vis your product or service.
- Extend collaboration to
support metaverse experiences by proactively engaging with or creating an
ecosystem of standards, content and service delivery partners to address
developing aspects of the metaverse.
- Prepare for business model
transformation by assessing trends, such as superapps, composable pricing
and API monetization.

The adoption of technologies and business models associated with the
metaverse is still incipient and its implementation is fragmented. Therefore,
at this early stage it is crucial that companies are informed and aware of the
implications that these new technologies may have on their line of business, so
that they can make better decisions on how to participate and invest in the
metaverse in a more competitive way.
According to a PROCOMER research, the
Costa Rican IT sector that offers services based in 4.0 technologies, such as
X-Reality or Blockchain, just to mention a few related to the metaverse and new
digital technologies. Specifically, it is estimated that companies linked to
