As part of the development of the metaverse project, the economic capital will host technology giants such as Google, Microsoft, Disney Research, Facebook and Magic Leep. The choice of Zurich by these behemoths is due to its proximity to the ETH Zurich, which is brimming with computing geniuses. In Zurich, some 4,000 Google employees are already working on the development of platforms designed to support the dimensions of the virtual world. Meta (formerly Facebook) is thus about to recruit nearly 150 employees in order to refine the related work. As for Disney Research Zurich (DRZ), considered to be the only laboratory linked to a European university, it will endeavour to model human faces. Other major groups mentioned above will work together to put this virtual project into practice.
