You work and do many things in metaverse and travel is big thing you travel too in metaverse in future.
But yes most of the life goes metaverse not much real things going on but mostly virtual life.
About work plan:
You do work first in simulation If it's successful then bots will do that according simulation later in real location in real situation from the AI gathered data and data of simulation.
You are talking about machines which work with long distance communication or long distance controles machines, which are already and thing and they do not need the metaverse in order to function properly, of course.
The whole idea of the metaverse and the way life will be digitalized thought the use of Virtual reality is rather a concept which is still very away from happening, keeping in the how expensive the such technology is and how it does not seems to be worth it when compared with the traditional media of information input.
There is a very well reason corporations like Meta actually pulled the plugin their metaverse and instead is now focused in artificial intelligence, like other companies which know better.
