Ten Metaversities Launching in U.S. this Fall in first VictoryXR Cohort

Metaverse education is taking hold at American colleges and universities in a big way this fall. This fall’s cohort finds some big names planning to roll out digital twin campuses. 

Each school will roll out a digital twin, replica campus for students to attend whether they are on campus or learning remotely. In addition, each student will receive a Quest 2 virtual reality headset for use during the course they are taking. Finally, courses will be synchronous, or multi-student, as if they were attending class on a physical campus.

“When the history of metaverse education is written, these are the schools that will be known as the metaverse pioneers,” said Steve Grubbs, VictoryXR CEO. “Remote learning is growing and these schools have decided to look for something better than a Zoom class.”

The partnership was funded, in part, by Meta Immersive Learning (NASDAQ: FB). Meta will provide Quest 2 headsets during the project  on each campus as well as funding for the digital twin buildouts. Each campus is built by VictoryXR on the EngageVR platform (LON: EXR).
