Extended reality technology is a part of “the metaverse” – a materializing virtual/physical world that seems perpetually here and perpetually around the corner.

How Dropp Is Building a Real-World Metaverse From Digital Twins
The social aspect of the metaverse has incredible potential to change how we live our lives. The problem is that right now, most social “metaverse” platforms are in VR – meaning that they can only change our lives while we’re wearing a headset. This creates a potential disconnect between our physical and virtual lives rather than an integration. Dropp has a different idea. .udae18bd50c1dddd0d5d4132828be5cd2 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#FFFFFF; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .udae18bd50c1dddd0d5d4132828be5cd2:active, .udae18bd50c1dddd0d5d4132828be5cd2:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .udae18bd50c1dddd0d5d4132828be5cd2 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1.05; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .udae18bd50c1dddd0d5d4132828be5cd2 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#000000; text-decoration:none;

Using augmented and virtual reality technologies, customers can “wear” digital clothing and accessories like they would their traditional, tangible counterparts.
