Nearly fourth-fifths of young to middle-aged Australians are ready to embrace the metaverse

Imagine putting on a VR headset – a pair of goggles that lets you step into a 3-dimensional virtual world – where you can move about and interact as naturally as you would in real life.

Q: How interested would you be in meeting other people to shop / socialise / work in such a virtual 3D space as opposed to meeting them in real-life?

Interested = % of respondents who indicated "very interested" / "somewhat interested" to shop OR work OR socialise in a 3D virtual space.
Not interested = % of respondents who indicated "not at all interested" / "not very interested" to shop AND work AND socialise in a 3D virtual space.
