Are we on the cusp of mass adoption of virtual metaverse spaces for classrooms, employee training and university campuses? Will students and teachers roam virtual halls, attend virtual tutoring sessions and create humanoid/ video game avatars to engage with other students?

In this presentation, Ben Weekes, Principle Engineer at Agora, will explore key building blocks for the Metaverse/Web3 and the hurdles still to be overcome for education. We will focus on connecting and rendering people and places in real-time, spatial audio, and if immersive tech is necessary for initial deployment.

This session will include practical examples of what can be deployed today and what is still to come.
