Hyundai wants to bring Mars to the metaverse so you dont have to go there – Business Insider India

What it wants to do is create a digital twin of yourself which will be a robot at home doing your chores or experiencing things on your behalf. Hyundai gave this example of accessing your digital twin in the metaverse and feeding or hugging your pet at home even if youre away. The same can be applied in factories where the user guides the robot in the metaverse to work on things in the real world.

A more futuristic example given by Hyundai was the possibility of people experiencing what its like to be on Mars without actually being there. In a video showcased by Hyundai, a father and daughter are seen experiencing the red planet through a Boston Dynamics Spot robot thats physically present there. Spot who is on Mars who will scan the planet collecting real-time data and imagery for your digital avatars to experience in the metaverse. Hyundai also envisions this technology to let you experience how a sandstorm feels with real-time wind data collection and even touch rocks and other objects.

This is only a concept for now and we dont know when such a metaverse experience will actually be possible. But it does give us a peek into the future which seems exciting but scary at the same time.
