As participating as digital artwork design will be, for brand spanking new customers, accessibility remains to be a problem. Throughout the business experts highlight education as a key issue to interrupt down limitations to entry. 

Casimiro advised Cointelegraph that creating accessibility and academic parts to digital occasions is crucial to maintain customers engaged. 

“In the long term we need to always come out of the metaverse with actual knowledge. I am a big believer that we need to use the metaverse as an instrument of communicating knowledge and making it accessible to people.”

Interactive artwork galleries, poetry readings and digital performances are the next frontier in metaverse engagement. In July, metaverse infrastructure firm Condense released new technology to live stream IRL events into the digital world.
