Abstract

More choices for your way of life! Expanded business opportunities!

Avatar Work” refers to virtual workers who work in the VR metaverse in the form of an avatar and are compensated for their work.

It has begun to attract attention as a next-generation way of working that is not limited by time, location, body, gender, or other “restrictions” on working.

People who want to work but do not have a place close by where they can put their skills and strengths to use.

People who find it difficult to go out for long distances or for long hours due to various reasons such as childcare, nursing care, or illness.

The “avatar work” style of work has the potential to help people with such problems.

This book explores business activities and future possibilities in the VR metaverse, while providing examples of avatar work being used in corporate activities and explaining the latest developments.

The six chapters are designed to provide an overview of avatar work, from basic knowledge of the metaverse and avatar workers, to case studies of companies using avatar workers, and interviews with people actually working as avatar workers.

This book is of interest to those who want to challenge avatar work from the comfort of their own home, or those who are considering new business applications of the Metaverse!
