Education meets Metaverse 📳📚
With the onset of different online learning platforms, it was a refreshing disruption in the country’s education sector which has been crying out for reforms for a long time. The excitement, however, did not last long😑😑
However, with newer technologies fast emerging, education is set for another overhaul. And how can we miss Web3 which is ubiquitous!
Web3 has the potential to reduce the costs of education, making it more accessible to students from all backgrounds. With the integration of AR/VR and metaverse tools with education, learning is a far more enriching experience
Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach, Web3 is all about personalised and curated experiences.
However, it’s NOT all roses
Web3 is still a wild west for Edtech since infrastructure is still not stable, but we keeps our hopes high😏😏
Who knows, there will be a day in say 2035 where students attend classes through metaverse. The teacher can punish them by sending them to other worlds😂
☄️Next-generation of social experiences
Metaverse is redefining the existing social experiences, and NFTs play a crucial role. With unique NFT avatars, users can prove their identity among various avatars available in the virtual space.
Brands can use their NFT avatars to interact with targeted audiences, discuss the perspectives of their projects with like-minded people, and thus solve many problems.
Owing to the NFT avatars, social media users can meet the avatar of their connection or social media friend rather than having a text-based chat or video call. 😇
🚀Property Ownership: Virtual Real Estate
📌With NFTs, users can have full ownership of their virtual lands and spaces in the metaverse.
📌Blockchain based tech enables users to prove ownership of the asset and develop their virtual real estate as they wish.
📌You can do a lot from reselling land, renting land for passive income, building structures like online shops on the existing land, to even hosting social events.
Need say more?🤭
Metaverse is currently in its early stage, and its horizon is constantly expanding with big corporations investing in this technology and launching various feasible use cases.
Everyday, a new Metaverse projects are being launched with distinctive attributes. It signifies the coming version of the Metaverse, which will be much more advanced and functional than the metaverse we explore today.
