Metaverse

designing safe and inclusive virtual immersive environments.
"By 2026 a quarter of people living on Earth will be spending at least an hour a day in the Metaverse and 30% of the organizations in the world will have products and services ready for the Metaverse1"
Research lies at the roots of discovery

Letting people to seamlessly access the Metaverse by guaranteeing social equity and diversity and opportunities to attract representations of diverse communities are the ultimate goal to design a Metaverse that works for all of us.
