EducationVerse

Inspiration

While researching upcoming technology we stumbled upon Meta. Meta is changing the world into more of a digital world. Which is seen as helpful, especially during the times of COVID. Those who felt deprived of connecting with others were students. As current college students, we felt that virtual reality connected with Meta will help us stay connected and still get a quality education. The solution is called EducationVerse. Message #general We created a solution for KPMGs Prompt

What it does

The Educationverse is the new way of accessing education online and feeling connected with your university, peers, and professors. Professors will be able to stream live reducing the number of times they need to upload lectures or redo them, while students can ask real-time questions. Students would also benefit by doing virtual reality office hours with professors and much more

How we built it

First, we will get Meta's permission to use their servers as they already serve a wide range of customers and will be able to handle any security breaches along with large amounts of interaction. From there we created a few prototypes of how accessing the metaverse would be through the university. The way we created the prototypes was through software known as FIGMA.

Challenges we ran into

A few challenges we ran into is that we have little to no coding skills. Therefore, we had to rely on our words to express our vision. However, we were able to at least show a prototype of how it would work as we had some familiarity with FIGMA. The Metaverse is a fairly the concept that is still in the developing stages, therefore finding an abundance of research for it to get a better understanding of how it works was a challenge. But by watching videos created by meta and their idea we were able to get the gist of how Meta would work.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Two of our team members were familiar with designing and were able to design from scratch a Logo and a Prototype. From this, the rest of our teammates were able to learn the basics of the software. We also learned how to effectively manage our time in order to explain our idea which we believe will be used for generations to come if t is fully developed.

What we learned

We learned that virtual Reality is limitless, and anything can occur within the platform. For example, EducationVerse pushed our team to do more research on how Metaverse operates and the science behind it. We learned that virtual reality plans revolutionize the future by allowing people to witness things that they would not be able to see in person. Virtual Reality plans to step over boundaries and grant individuals the life they want to live.

What's next for EducationVerse

The main reason for us creating this solution is to shift the way of traditional learning to a virtual remote setting that allows people to stay in the comfort of their homes while receiving the college experience. We want any University to pioneer this endeavor and show the world that this is feasible. Schools should be not subjected to one way of learning. There should be more options to receive education and VR is one that we plan to explore. Our long-term goal is to get EducationVerse in every major institution globally and in order for this to happen, EducationVerse must be successful at the University that volunteers to make this work.
