The 20th International Learning and Technology Conference - (L&T 2023)
The Edtech and The Rise of Metaverse
26th January 2023 - 4th Rajab 1444
Effat University, Jeddah, KSA
The Metaverse is the popular term used to describe what many expect to be the next significant paradigm for using digital technologies and networks to interact and collaborate with others and have virtual experiences of all kinds. It’s the convergence of several technologies such as blockchain, augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D reconstruction, and artificial intelligence, which can create the experience of an immersive, three-dimensional environment where users interact with their surroundings and shared space.
Worldwide, the Metaverse market reached $46 billion in 2020, the market size is predicted to reach as much as $800 billion by 2024. The amount of money spent by institutional investors to acquire virtual land in the Metaverse World continue to set new records. Locally, Saudi Arabia plans to spend billions of dollars in the blockchain and Metaverse technologies. Saudi Arabia’s new Metaverse will help design $500bn city in Real Life (IRL) where NEOM will be shaped by “digital twin” virtual world.
Many believe the Metaverse to be the next critical paradigm for how we utilize digital technology and networks to connect, cooperate, and enjoy virtual experiences. Teaching in a Metaverse platform means textbooks are replaced by integrated video gaming style challenges that require students to apply learned skills to compete. It may also promote safety so that traditional classroom instruction simply cannot. Furthermore, due to the growing number of individuals working remotely, there is an increasing need for new connections and communication modes, such as virtual 3D and the Internet of Everything (IoE), and remote communication and collaboration.
The 20th International Learning and Technology Conference aims to be a meeting point for specialists to explore recent breakthroughs and discoveries to make the Metaverse experience more immersive. This conference will bring together decision-makers, academics, scientists, practitioners, professionals, and top keynote speakers to stimulate discussion on the latest developments in Metaverse and related technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), Internet of Everything (IoE), Robotics, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Non-Fungible Token (NFT), etc.
Join us and explore new collaboration opportunities, cultivate your social and knowledge networks, and compliment your core experience!
