The one experience which grabbed the most attention during the expo was the fantastic use cases of augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/ VR) and metaverse. While metaverse production companies like Canvas Land seemed set to thrive on applications and advisory services of this new tech, a company called STEPVR exhibited the "world's first" metaverse gaming portal, Gates 01.
