Some students in the EU and UK will soon have classes in the metaverse. Meta, the company behind social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, announced the launch of the first digital twin “metaversities” in Europe, where students can “explore, socialise, and participate in live classes remotely” in a setting that looks just like their physical campus.
The company also announced it is providing new VR headsets to educators at over a dozen US and UK universities. The goal of the programme is to “make it easier for educators to discover interactive and engaging content,” in science, medicine, history and language arts, the company.
