Retail and E-Commerce: The metaverse is poised to redefine retail and e-commerce by offering immersive shopping experiences. Imagine browsing and purchasing products while wearing a headset, seeing items in a virtual environment before buying them. Companies like Nike are developing platforms that allow customers to design avatars and shop seamlessly within a virtual space, akin to playing a video game. Virtual stores promise a more personalized and engaging shopping experience compared to traditional e-commerce platforms.
