INDUSTRY
OVERVIEW
Entering the new dimension : 2D -> 3D

Technological advancements have seen unprecedented growth in recent years. From

the evolution of internet to the consumer shift toward smart phones, the rapid
adoption of cloud technology, and the growing popularity of social media, the digital
industry is disrupting every facet of human life.

And Metaverse is yet another addition to the ongoing technological revolutions. For
more than a decade, human interaction over the web was limited to 2D screens. Be it
calls, collaboration, gaming or buying, our digital experiences remained confined
within the screens. Metaverse is what redefines the concept of digital interaction.
Extending the capabilities of the digital world, and expanding the possibilities of a
static environment, metaverse is where the future resides.
