Hey there!
If you missed our virtual rendezvous on March 22nd, don't worry, I've got you covered.
It was a blast diving into the metaverse with some cool folks like Shannon Pierson from the University of Cambridge, Michelle Lim from Cambridge Consultants, and our tech guru, Julian Clover from Cambridge 105.

So, picture this: we're hanging out in this digital wonderland where avatars roam freely through immersive 3D experiences. Yep, that's the metaverse and spatial computing!
And let me tell you, it's shaping up to be quite the adventure.
Now, you know me – always banging on about accessibility and inclusivity in tech.
Well, in our chat, I shared some thoughts on how we can make the metaverse a friendlier place for everyone.
With the Metavethics Institute, we're all about championing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Safety (IDEAS) in this brave new world.
We talked about the highs – like how the metaverse could revolutionize socializing, gaming, and learning – and the lows – you know, the ethical stuff, privacy concerns, and making sure nobody gets left out.
But fear not!
We've got some nifty tools and research up our sleeves to help us navigate these choppy waters.
Because let's face it, building a metaverse that's welcoming to all is the ultimate goal.
Even though our virtual hangout has wrapped up, the convo doesn't stop here.
Let's keep the metaverse chatter going and work towards creating a digital playground where everyone feels at home.
