Nadella Talks Metaverse Benefits

Satya Nadella, CEO of tech giant Microsoft, has declared his support for the metaverse, citing its potential to bring people together compared to other less interactive technologies. In a conversation with Klaus Shwab, chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), held as part of the Davos 2023 meetings, Nadella praised the benefits that using this tech brings.

Nadella stated:

For me, the thing that is most game-changing for this particular technology is the sense of presence one has, which is when you are even virtually interacting.

Nadella believes that, while Covid-19 changed the environment when it comes to meetings, forcing people to resort to video calls for these purposes, the implementation of more immersive technologies is a “very natural extension of it.” To him, this is the real impact that the metaverse and other technologies being developed currently can have on today’s society.
