After the world of work, education is one of the sectors on which Meta is focusing for the affirmation of the metaverse that combines virtual and augmented reality. The company has announced that during the year it will launch an initiative that aims to make its Quest viewers allies in bringing schools into the future.
The new solution will give the opportunity to speed up virtual lessons, so that students can start the learning phase independently. It will also allow teachers to access tools dedicated to their work, such as the chance to manage all the other connected ones from their viewer, sending content enriched by 3D. The goal is to transform a physical classroom into a fully-fledged digital place.. New Mexico State University teaches criminal law to students in an immersive dimension, making them witness virtual crime scenes, so they can learn the best investigation techniques. “Education and training institutions represent a significant market for technology products, and we see more and more developers creating and releasing apps dedicated to this sector,” adds Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta.
