Stepping into the Metaverse: ASU at the forefront of expanding virtual opportunities abc15
TEMPE, AZ — It's a word and a world we hear more of these days: the Metaverse. It's the next frontier of living life online, conducting business virtually, and expanding education. Arizona State University is at the forefront of exploring this virtual world and is already opening up a world of possibility in the Valley.
There are certainly aspects that are entertaining, like the ability to put on a virtual reality headset and conduct a meeting anywhere in the world, like Paris, all while listening to Parisian life unfold around you. But there are other ways that it could change life for the better."You could put on a pair of glasses and your grandmother could be sitting there with you, clear as day, as if she were really there.
Another project in the works is a scavenger hunt, utilizing augmented reality like Pokémon Go, to help a new student get become familiarized with the campus. They've also created the Career Arcade, which could be the future of internships or even career day experiences for middle and high schoolers. It offers a chance to fully immerse yourself in simulated experiences, even in space.
