Meta, the social media behemoth, is helping 10 universities launch their metaverse campuses, donating headsets and paying for the virtual reality spaces.
As part of this plan, the university will offer five courses in the metaverse campus that will come at no additional cost when compared to non-immersive courses. However, the university is limited by the number of headsets it can loan to students.
One of the objectives of Meta’sproject is to increase the access of students to these technologies by partnering with organizations and universities. Part of the $150 million investment Meta is making serves to deliver headsets in partnership with Victoryxr, the company that is designing the metaverse campuses.Meta has also helped universities pay for the design and construction of these spaces, which can cost $50k for a five to seven-building campus.
