In light of recent developments and speculation about the Metaverse, we at the Imaginarium are excited about the potential to globally connect people in a shared virtual space, with new ways to physically and virtually interact with the world and each other.
However, we encourage people to engage with the ideas presented by the Metaverse cautiously and with a humanities-focused approach centered on accessible public spaces and cultivating a culture of collaboration, generosity, and inclusivity. The Imaginarium is not only dedicated to cutting-edge XR research and product development, but also to doing our part to ensure that the future of the Metaverse is one that is sustainable and beneficial to all.
