Latest Industry Trends
Phygital Convergence
In 2025, the "phygital" model-which blends physical and digital experiences-is gaining serious momentum in the metaverse space. Global brands like Shiseido have opened hybrid facilities such as Shiseido Beauty Park, where consumers interact with beauty science in person while accessing AR-enhanced virtual zones. Similarly, Cirque du Soleil launched "Parallel!", a digital backstage metaverse experience offering immersive exploration of live shows. These real-world touches are augmented by virtual interactivity-letting users navigate 360° backstage, follow performers, and engage across physical and digital boundaries seamlessly.
AI Integration
Generative AI is transforming virtual worlds by personalizing avatars, driving dynamic storytelling, and automating narrative elements in real time. Platforms have begun incorporating AI tools like "MagicCraft," which turns natural-language prompts into editable 3D objects-drastically lowering the barrier for creator-generated content. Meta's internal research also launched "Project Warhol," where participants are paid $50 per hour to capture facial motions and conversations. The result: lifelike NPCs in Horizon Worlds that respond intelligently to users, enabling interactive social scenarios and hyper-realistic avatar expression.
Blockchain & Decentralized Identity
Blockchain has moved from trend to infrastructure. Somnia, a high performance Layer 1 blockchain launched in February 2025, supports sub-second transactions and under $0.01 fees, enabling real-time avatar identity and collectibles storage. NFT based avatars are proliferating: in 2025 alone, over 12 million identity NFTs have been issued for use as digital identities or membership tokens. Platforms like The Sandbox are deploying decentralized IDs and NFT wearables that users own and transfer across environments-paving the way for interoperable virtual economies and persistent digital identity.
Immersive Events & VR Concerts
Live immersive events continue to drive engagement: virtual concert platforms such as AmazeVR raised $9.5 million in 2025 to scale high fidelity CG concerts featuring global stars. These VR concerts, accessible via Quest and cinema-based VR buses, offer up-close performances interactive in nature. Meanwhile, the broader immersive entertainment market-which covers VR concerts, sports viewings, and AR experiences-was valued at $114 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $442 billion by 2030. Major music acts and experimental events are drawing tens of thousands of participants into shared virtual spaces simultaneously.
