The MEMS role in the Metaverse
In this presentation we will share our vision on what the “Metaverse” could mean for the MEMS & Sensor community.
In the first part we will present the global MEMS market and the main device trends.
Then, in the second part we will try to explain what Metaverse means for Yole Group and how we understand it, as well as the type of MEMS sensors and actuators that could potentially be used in that context.
We will give an overview of the various Metaverse “layers” from the application to the software to the hardware, and eventually show the potential role of MEMS.
