Since Meta (Metaverse, Workplace by Facebook, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus / Reality Labs, etc), Microsoft and Dropbox announced their plans for the metaverse, I have updated the stand-alone blog post: Sales Enablement in mixed reality 3D / AR / VR.
Now, these updates are also reflected on the latest version of my overview of the market size (expected $10Bn USD in annual revenue 2023) and I made it clearer on how to submit edits/changes via a quest that has already gotten great use.
