Metaverse Safety Week: Dive into the future

What will the next iteration of the internet look like? Many people believe it’s the Metaverse: a virtual 3D world, as big and diverse as the real world, where people can learn, work, shop, play and connect with one another. Here at LLInC we’re keeping a close eye on Metaverse progress and trends. After all, we see great potential for virtual realities such as the Metaverse for education and learning, and we regularly explore this through our XR ERA community. To better prepare ourselves for the future, we recently attended Metaverse Safety Week: the annual international awareness campaign for exploring challenges and helping to safeguard the Metaverse.
