Description
Advances in technology are bringing, and often accelerating, change in almost all areas of life. The metaverse, or new internet, is associated with a whole range of new-age technologies: virtual, augmented and augmented reality, 5G communications, the internet of things, the semantic web, blockchain technologies, 3D modelling, web 3.0, and more. How will these even more engaging technologies affect business opportunities for companies, how will they change public services and the regulatory environment, and how will they change people's daily lives? These and many other important questions remain unanswered today. What is clear, however, is that harnessing the potential of the Metaverse will require new ways of working, new skills and new knowledge. What matters is not just the need to adapt to the new online economy but the capacity to take a leading role in shaping the future.
Our focus in exploring the evolution of Metaverse is on people and the interplay between people and technology: what will communication, business and innovation look like in the internet of the future? The ability to combine expertise from different disciplines gives us an advantage in tackling complex issues and the ability to address change from a technology user perspective. As a university, we see our neutral position as an opportunity to bring together a range of partners and stakeholders and to take a leading role in shaping the knowledge and practices of the new internet economy.
