Accelerate your metaverse and Web3 strategy with EY capabilities

With a market estimated to reach $800 billion in two years, the metaverse has the power to transform all industries. Organizations that address the innovation potential now will be well positioned to harness the opportunities that it will unleash.

EY has been rated a Horizon 3 – Market Leader in Metaverse services providers. HFS defines the term “metaverse” as any virtual space or augmented reality in which users interact with digitally generated or enhanced environments and other users, often via digital versions of themselves.

What does it take to build a virtual world?

Designing a meaningful metaverse experience is no small feat. Since June 2021, the EY Cognitive Human Enterprise team has been building a virtual world. The team’s aim is to apply the full diversity of human imagination to make a virtual world as welcoming, authentic and intuitive as possible.

Taking an innovative approach, the team launched an artist-in-residence program and made it a key part of its metaverse design practice. Meet our artists-in-residence by exploring the videos below.
