This project reinforces the role of the UCAM in the development of new technologies, such as the metaverse, and positions it at the forefront in the development of advanced technologies through its Vice President for Research and its study programs in areas such as computer science, telecommunications engineering and the humanities.
UCAM professors and students have been working on research projects on the metaverse, developing new ways of interacting in virtual worlds and creating tools to improve the user experience in these environments.
In addition, the University is collaborating with leading technology companies to apply this research and development to actual products and services. These collaborations help ensure that advances in the metaverse are available for application in a wide variety of fields, from entertainment to education to medicine.
UCAM plays an important role in metaverse research and development, especially in educational applications. In the last two years, more than 2,650 of its students have already had immersive educational experiences and more than 228 hours of teaching have been generated in the metaverse. The potential of this technology to improve the teaching experience is very important and key in the digital transformation strategy of UCAM.
