This document is a report on a session held by Egon Zehnder’s Directors Development Program titled 'Metaverse, AI, and Robotics: A Glimpse into the Future of Finance.' The session, led by Harsha Kikkeri, focused on the implications of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and robotics on the finance and insurance sectors. Kikkeri emphasized the importance of creating an accessible digital infrastructure to overcome the limitations of physical space and time. He introduced HoloSuit, a full-body motion tracking suit that enables users to interact with holographic representations in both virtual and real environments. The report outlines various use cases of HoloSuit in training and operational contexts, including its application in medical training and banking. Kikkeri also discussed the potential of utilizing these technologies to redefine banking practices and enhance customer interactions, advocating for a collaborative approach between humans and technology to foster trust in financial services.
