The metaverse is a term used to describe the virtual world that is emerging as a result of the convergence of various technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and the internet. This digital world is becoming more and more popular, and it is estimated that by 2025, the metaverse will have over 1 billion users.
One of the key features of the metaverse is the ability for users to create their own digital identity through the use of 3D avatars. These avatars are essentially digital representations of the user, and they can be customized to reflect the user’s personality, preferences, and style. Upland has integrated Ready Player Me avatars into the metaverse allowing players create their own 3D avatar that best represents them.

According to a recent survey, 62% of GenZ and 60% of Millenials say that their digital self is what they care more about than how they are perceived in the physical world. This high percentage of people recognizes the value of having a digital representation of themselves in this virtual world.
There are several reasons why people feel that creating a digital identity using 3D avatars is important. One reason is that it allows users to express their creativity and individuality in a unique way. In the metaverse, users can create avatars that are unique and reflect their personality, which is not possible in the physical world.
Another reason why people feel that creating a digital identity using 3D avatars is important is that it allows them to connect with others in a more meaningful way. In the metaverse, users can interact with each other through their avatars, which can make the virtual world feel more personal and engaging.
Additionally, the metaverse is becoming an increasingly popular platform for commerce, entertainment, and social interaction. Having a digital identity in the form of a 3D avatar can make it easier for users to participate in these activities, as well as make it easier for them to find and connect with like-minded individuals.

With the value placed on this by Millenials and GenZ, it is clear that the metaverse will continue to grow and evolve in the coming years. As the metaverse continues to develop, it will be interesting to see how the use of 3D avatars continues to shape the digital world and the way that people interact with each other.
