As technology and its derivative ecosystem evolve, devices to support the metaverse, such as VR, are becoming more affordable than its first penetration on the market. Likewise, the supporting infrastructure, such as 4G and 5G networks, is one of the foundations to finally realize the metaverse world in the future.

Metaverse di Indonesia

Metaverse dan NFT merupakan dua topik yang tak pernah absen dalam pembicaraan khalayak selama tiga bulan terakhir ini. Apalagi usai viralnya foto NFT milik Ghozali Everyday di internet. Di kalangan pegiat teknologi, pemerintah, hingga masyarakat awam semakin menunjukkan antusiasmenya menyambut era baru digital ini.

M Cash Integrasi bahkan mulai mengantisipasi perkembangan tren NFT dengan terjun ke dalamnya. Melalui anak usaha PT Digital Mediatama Maxima Tbk (IDX: DMMX) membentuk joint venture bersama Bumilangit Entertainment untuk meluncurkan NFT Bumilangit dengan karakter Gundala dan Sri Asih secara perdana. Ini menjadi strategi awal untuk memperkuat inovasi ekosistem digital Bumilangit.

Sebelumnya, Co-founder & Managing Director Shinta VR Andes Rizky mengungkap bahwa saat ini masyarakat Indonesia sebetulnya telah menikmati konten yang sifatnya semi-metaverse, misalnya game online, meski tidak langsung masuk ke dunia metaverse yang sebenarnya

Ia menilai saat ini tinggal menunggu waktu hingga metaverse menjadi sesuatu yang mainstream, dan tren ini dapat diawali dengan NFT. Seiring berkembangnya teknologi dan ekosistem turunannya, perangkat untuk mendukung metaverse, seperti VR, mulai terjangkau jika dibandingkan awal-awal kemunculannya di pasar. Demikian juga infrastruktur pendukungnya, seperti jaringan 4G dan 5G sebagai salah satu fondasi untuk merealisasikan dunia metaverse di masa depan.
