Metaverse is the post-reality universe, a perpetual and persistent multi-user environment merging physical reality with digital virtuality. In this thrust we formulate a unique design of the metaverse which merges blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and gamification for learning in the spatial web (Web 3.0).
Metaverse & Blockchain for Learning at SUTD is creative socio-spatial platform, where students are not only learners of digital content, but also its potential creators/owners and co-creators/co-owners of the assets, thus learning and gaining real world life-skills. It presents them with a new means of expressing themselves and allows SUTD to support them in a meaningful, fun and AI-powered manner.
