The book sets out the potential for financial services in metaverses and the 'always-on' immersive internet, beginning with a look at the technologies needed to make these metaverses useful for business. It describes the ways in which new markets will function and the digital assets that will be exchanged in transactions between online identities.
This book develops a comprehensive and practical model of the Metaverse and the nature of those new transactions in a business environment. It has a clear view of virtual worlds and it provides both a simple taxonomy for digital assets and a tried-and-tested model of digital identity that will provide a better understanding of the opportunities that exist in the many metaverses where we will work, rest and play in the near future.
