A new generation of virtual reality (VR) training simulations is poised to transform legacy just-in-case classroom training in the US Navy into just-in-time training on ships and submarines. Affordable stand-alone VR can multiply reps and sets of immersive practices before sailors apply real-life skills.
"Learning through hands-on exercises at the moments of need, people can build muscle memory and cognitive mastery in the presence of peers and experts. XR promises to accelerate learning at scale, saving lives, sharpening skills, and flattening the learning curve."

Technological terms are frequently imprecise. Different people mean different things by them – and the metaverse is a case in point. For many, it’s a word that describes a virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) world inhabited exclusively by gamers or early adopters on social media platforms.
The problem with this conception is that it limits the scope of what the metaverse is, or of what it might be. These virtual or augmented worlds need not be constrained by current, consumer-oriented applications. They also have significant commercial potential. The metaverse can transform the way business works.
If the metaverse is an imprecise term, let’s begin by attempting to define it. What does it mean?
In a survey conducted by HFS Research, for more than 20% of respondents, the metaverse was the same as VR and AR, and 5% had no idea what it is...
Si bien es cierto, que el Metaverso no tiene aceptación en el ámbito educativo superior. Aunque, hay algunas escuelas y universidades realizando interesantes eventos inmersivos. No obstante, el sector laboral está viendo oportunidades empresariales en la industria de la capacitación, adiestramiento, upskilling y reskilling. La Metaverse University es la primera institucion de educación superior en descentralizar el metaverso educativo. Los datos hablan más que las percepciones...
The latest McKinsey research shows that the Metaverse has the potential to generate $5 trillion in value by 2030. It can’t be denied that virtual reality isn’t going anywhere.
The Metaverse is the yet-unsettled Wild West of the digital world. Its potential for brands to reach new audiences in unprecedented ways is unmatched.
It’s crucial that your plans for 2024 include a content strategy in Metaverse marketing initiatives.
A new study from the University of Bath has found that it is the emotional response, rather than high quality graphics or a wide field of view, that makes people feel immersed in a believable VR environment.
In their study, researchers from the University of Bath's Departments of Computer Science and Psychology investigated for the first time how technical and human factors interact to influence users' sense of presence in a VR environment.
"Immersive reality technologies have emerged as transformative tools for enhancing learning experiences. Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) are three distinct but interrelated technologies, each of which offers unique and effective opportunities for supporting learning."
"Immersive reality technologies, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)... offer a wide range of applications that enhance engagement, comprehension, and practical skill development."
We’ve all heard about how the metaverse is this otherworldly place that will transport us out of reality. But what if the true impact of the metaverse will be how it changes the real world?

Three things executives and their teams can do now to prepare
El metaverso se ha desinflado bastante durante los últimos meses, pero la tecnología continúa siendo extremadamente válida para impulsar diferentes sectores. Ahora, las tecnologías de metaverso como la Realidad Virtual (VR) y la Realidad Aumentada (AR) están abriendo nuevas puertas en el ámbito educativo, y desde Facebook nos cuentan cómo. El metaverso es una evolución
Virtual Reality typically evokes futuristic connotations, with talk of the metaverse and high-priced headsets feeling distant for most consumers. But in recent years, VR has gained a foothold in an area with far more practical implications: job training.
More and more employers are using VR to train their workers, from store clerks to doctors to jet pilots. While the technology is still in the early stages, the platform has drawn praise for being able to provide trainees with something close to real-world experience, simply by putting on a headset.
Este artículo evidencia nuestros planteamientos. Están sacando el DI, eLearning, EdTech, IAG y Metaverso de las Universidades. La Educación Corporativa de las empresas está moviendose al ritmo de cambio global. Mientras, la mayoría de las Universidades se mueven muy lentas y lo que hacen es mejorar su infraestructura existente...
Juan Domingo Farnós Algunas universidades han lanzado una plataforma de aprendizaje digital de vanguardia que permite a los estudiantes trabajar, estudiar y vivir en un mundo virtual e inmersivo: ¿Como son estas plataformas? Visión general de cómo podrían ser estas plataformas en diferentes aspectos si se desarrollaran o se implementaran en el futuro. Entorno virtual…
Pero, ¿qué es exactamente el metaverso?Atendiendo a su etimología, metaverso es la combinación resultante del término “meta” (más allá) y “verso” (derivación del universo), es decir, se definiría como la convergencia entre el mundo físico y el digital.La tecnología, la innovación y la apuesta de las grandes plataformas son fundamentales en este proceso. Para poder adentrarnos en esta realidad paralela son necesarios, en primera instancia, un avatar como representación digital del usuario físico y unas gafas de realidad virtual (VR) con las que obtener una experiencia más sensorial y realista.España tiene claro este concepto. Un estudio elaborado en 29 países por Ipsos, en colaboración con el World Economic Forum, le sitúa como el primer país europeo con mayor conocimiento del metaverso -el 63% de la población está familiarizado con el término-, once puntos por encima de la media en todo el mundo, fijada en un 52 %.Entre las oportunidades que genera, el mayor impacto en España se prevé en el ámbito de la educación y formación virtual (63%), seguido por el entretenimiento (61%), los videojuegos (57%), las reuniones de trabajo (55%) y los recursos relacionados con la salud (54%).No obstante, dicho informe fija a Europa como el continente con menor conocimiento sobre las oportunidades relacionadas con este nuevo ecosistema, algo que llama la atención en potencias económicas como Alemania y Francia, donde apenas un 30 % y un 28 % de su población, respectivamente, comprende la implicaciones que puede generar el mundo virtual.
The exploration of augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) technologies in higher education is a fascinating and timely subject. It's encouraging to see institutions like UC Berkeley critically assessing the potential of these technologies while also considering important factors such as privacy, accessibility, and security. As AR and VR continue to evolve, their integration into education could lead to transformative experiences for both students and educators, opening up new horizons in teaching, learning, and research. It will be exciting to see how these technologies shape the future of higher education.
