To the portal Cointelegraph, Nokia Oceania technical director Robert Joyce commented that “Nokia set up two labs last year to look at the metaverse and the technologies that underpin it.” According to the director, the company began a collaboration last year with an Australian university to offer a micro brewery using metaverse resources with 5G.

How digital twins work
The proposal is to use augmented reality connected to the internet to mirror the production process of an installation in another location around the world using digital twins. “They carry out joint experiments in which they brew beer, changing the process, the temperature, the times, the volumes, the recipes. They feed this entire brewing process back into the digital twin”, says Joyce.
Thus, researchers in Sydney, Australia, are able to work together with scientists in Dortmund, Germany. All from the industrial metaverse. According to the executive, “they can actually simulate brewing in the digital twin so they can perfect the beer in the digital space.”
Nokia global director believes the industrial metaverse is in evidence
During the World Economic Forum in Davos last month, Nokia's global director of strategy and technology, Nishant Batra, had already expressed hope about the metaverse, but, according to him, it is the metaverse used in the industrial sphere that will boost the scenario. “Ports have started using digital twins to track all the containers on their docks…Aerospace companies are building engines and airframes in the digital world to simulate exactly how an aircraft will fly, long before they manufacture their first mechanical part,” commented Batra.
