Preparing Students to Create the Metaverse

1. Session overview

The metaverse is here and it is being powered by real-time 3D technology. As businesses across industries such as automotive, construction, manufacturing, retail and beyond seek their next competitive advantage, many are embracing immersive, interactive 3D experiences.
