Over a dozen Universities - including Imperial College London; the University of Glasgow and the University of Leeds - will ensure regular touchpoints with educators who are trialing VR and XR prototypes and programs in their own classrooms, and enable us to improve our products ahead of an official launch. The beta test will give university partners early access to a range of apps and features that bring students closer to otherwise expensive or out of reach educational experiences.
Through these metaversities, educators and students at the University of Leeds in the U.K., University of the Basque Country in Spain, and University of Hannover in Germany will be able to explore, socialize, and participate in live classes remotely - all within an immersive environment that mirrors their physical campuses.
This is a long-running, and long-term push for Meta, with the company initially launching a pilot program for VR in education with 15 U.S. universities; its progress marks a significant step toward integrating VR into classroom settings on a larger scale.
