Working in the Metaverse? Some Canadian firms are setting up shop in the virtual world
“We’re pretty comfortable now having virtual meetings and virtual conversations. So I think it’s a natural extension to try to get more human in our virtual experiences,” he said.But Peterson said organizations need to consider how they will approach things like ability, identity and accessibility in these new spaces, something EY’s metaverse lab is currently exploring.
The metaverse might seem far-fetched or gimmicky to some, but Grinhaus thinks it could become a significant tool for many professions, and increase accessibility if done right.But there are many things Grinhaus’ law firm cannot do in the metaverse, at least not yet.Lawyers have strict rules to follow. For example, they have an obligation to verify potential clients’ identities before entering into agreements that allow them to give legal advice.
The usefulness of the metaverse will depend on the business, Peterson said. As the technology improves, and the possible uses for the metaverse become more obvious, businesses need to think about what they are trying to achieve, he said. “You can kind of stretch the boundaries of the physical reality to create something that is more immersive,” said Bolla.
