Over the past year, several universities set out to launch their own metaversities to provide students and professors with “digital twin” campuses, where students can attend courses using Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headsets provided through a partnership with VictoryXR and Meta announced last summer. The partnership initially involved Morehouse College in Georgia, the University of Kansas School of Nursing, New Mexico State University, South Dakota State University, Florida A&M University, West Virginia University, Southwestern Oregon Community College, California State University, Alabama A&M University and University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), where students are now using the technology to attend a handful of courses from anywhere. The initiative also announced a new cohort of metaversity projects in March, bringing in schools such as Loyola Marymount University in California, Cal State Northridge in California, Indiana Wesleyan University in Indiana, Metropolitan State University of Denver in Colorado, Florida A&M University in Florida, Lorain County Community College in Ohio, Jackson State University in Mississippi, North Carolina A&T State University in North Carolina and Northern Virginia Community College, among others. -- Government Technology
