Metaverse is a virtual reality technology that has now become one of the newest technological trends, which is believed to have a significant impact on human life in the future. Many global technology companies, such as Facebook, Google, and Microsoft, have utilized this technology. In Indonesia, several companies such as Gojek, Tokopedia, and Traveloka are also starting to adopt metaverse technology. Considering the great potential of the metaverse, it is very important for Indonesian human resources to know and master this technology, as well as utilize other technologies that can be combined with the metaverse.
In order to prepare Indonesian human resources to be ready to work in the metaverse industry, we plan to hold training for pupils and students. This training aims to introduce metaverse technology, encourage participants to produce good work, and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills. Apart from that, there is written work and preparation of papers related to metaverse, which is expected to make a positive contribution to the development of science and industry in Indonesia.
Metaverse Academy is an ITB Metaverse Lab initiative program designed to explore and develop potential metaverse technology in the context of education and research in Indonesia. Through a series of activities such as Pre-Metaverse Day and Metaverse Day, this program aims to introduce and educate the younger generation about this technology.
