Could virtual and augmented reality be the future of learning? Alan Smithson, founder and CEO of MetaVRse, certainly thinks so. We caught up with him for a chat.
Interview- MetaVRse

Q: Tell us about MetaVRse.

A: The future of learning is spatial. Technologies such as spatial computing, computer vision, 3D scanning, photogrammetry, virtual, augmented and mixed reality are being bunched together now commonly know in enterprise as extended reality (XR). When applied to learning, training and education, these technologies have been shown to increase retention rates, decrease training times, increase focus and enhance performance across the board. For example, learning science in a zero cost, multi-million-dollar virtual lab (Labster) or practising surgery multiple times before ever seeing the patient (OssoVR).

MetaVRse helps organisations find, curate, manage and create XR solutions across their enterprise in a secure, easy to deploy solution that provides one point of access for all things spatial learning.

Q: Tell us about some of your past projects, and things you’re working on now.

A: Over the past four years, we've built all sorts of XR-related projects such as the VR Photobooth for Samsung's launch of the GearVR, Gear 360° camera and an AR Sandbox for Kubota Tractors so you could dig with a toy tractor and as you change the topography, the projection changes. We built an augmented reality teleportal for Adobe and Genesys to show a visual representation of their new AI engine. We even built an AR app for the launch of HBO's Westworld, which was super fun.
