The Metaverse and the Real World

UN Entity:

UNICRI

SDGs:

All

Innovation Area:

Digital Transformation
The metaverse is a digital universe characterised by the interaction of physical, augmented and virtual reality in a shared online space. Many tech companies are working to build this metaverse, but it is not yet clear how the metaverse will evolve and materialise in practice. The event will discuss questions such as: How fast will the metaverse impact daily life? How will society interact with and within this virtual world? In a world where hate speech and cyberbullying already run rampant online, should we anticipate similar trends?
