In the first episode of the Road to the Metaverse for 2023, Ryan is joined by the General Manager of Unity’s Gaming Services, Jeff Collins.
Unity Gaming Services (UGS) helps developers create, operate, scale, and monetize their live game using a single modular platform. While UGS was built for game developers, it is also widely used by industrial clients to create custom metaverse and digital twin solutions.
With the roots of the metaverse entrenched in games, it only makes sense that UGS is the essential tool set to help businesses lay the foundation for their metaverse strategies. In this on-demand video, Jeff and Ryan will discuss the following:
How UGS can translate to the metaverse
Non-gaming use cases for UGS
The need for creating unique immersive experiences and how UGS can solve for it
The future of the metaverse through the lens of UGS and much more
Watch now on-demand.
