Nokia uses the Metaverse to connect remote breweries, train aircraft techs
Once known as a manufacturer of hardy mobile phones, Nokia has been working on developing industrial use cases for the Metaverse. From beer breweries on opposite ends of the globe to aircraft technicians in isolated airports, telecoms infrastructure firm Nokia has been looking for ways to use the Metaverse to aid remotely-located workers.
