Businesses have boarded the XR bandwagon in the areas of marketing/user experience as well as employee onboarding and training, largely using asynchronous simulations or immersive experiences. Early XR adoption in university courses seems to be either from a technical skill building perspective or from an angle of exploring the possibilities of immersive technologies.
Synchronous learning in VR is largely overlooked at present, yet has many untouted benefits such as the ability to recreate the magic of community, shared knowledge, and belonging, which in-person training and education offered learners for decades. Learning in VR synchronously can be a meaningful way of enhancing immersive technology adoption in academia and industry.
This panel will discuss the various dimensions of integrating VR as the post-Zoom frontier in education and corporate training.

Using VR in training and simulation is now more than a stopgap during the pandemic or a fad in the hype of the metaverse. Visionary Training Resources (VTR) and Tobii will share their experience of how VR and eye-tracking technologies convince major airlines to adopt this efficient and cost-effective pilot training approach. With Tobii eye tracking and scalable equipment of VR headsets, training and simulation are empowered by data insights for validation and evaluation. This will meet the needs of more strict and critical training and lead to a truly informed and adaptive approach. Other industries can also learn from this case and get their first movers' advantage.

The Metaversities Project is a groundbreaking initiative to bring college campuses and classes into Virtual Reality. Spearheaded by VictoryXR and Morehouse College, which began offering courses in VR in 2021, the Metaversity Project has expanded to include 10 institutions of higher learning in 2022.
A Metaversity is a digital twin of a college campus where students can gather from any physical location as avatars to attend classes conducted by their professors in real time. Each offers a virtual replica of the campus that provides a sense of belonging and connection with the school. But each campus also opens up into worlds of possibility, classrooms that may be nothing like those in the real world but instead might be oceans, planets, cellular organisms, or fictional locations.
At a Metaversity, students can conduct chemistry experiments without danger, perform dissections repeatedly to gain a deeper understanding of anatomy, and experience historical events in a visceral way.
A Metaversity brings all the promises and affordances of virtual reality to actual higher education courses. Education in the metaverse is here, now.
This panel will delve into what a Metaversity is, how it works, outcomes and success stories, and the implications of this pioneering model for the future of higher education.
