Enabling Technologies in Digital Reality

In less than a decade we’ve moved from early versions of smart glasses like Google Glass to virtual reality gaming headsets like Oculus. This takes us ever closer to a digital reality that is often referred to as the metaverse--and as we look for investment opportunities around the metaverse, we’re focusing on it as an enabling technology.

At William Blair, our active culture creates a dynamic environment in which we are continuously evolving in pursuit of better client outcomes.
