Beyond being touted as the future of workplace meetings by Microsoft’s Bill Gates, the metaverse could also become the future of learning. VictoryXR, an educational company providing virtual reality and enhanced reality solutions, has joined forces with Meta Platforms Inc. in order to open 10 metaverse campuses throughout the US by 2022.

The Iowa-based firm is working under Meta’s recently-launched “Immersive Learning” platform to rollout VR campuses that are suitable for remote learning. To build detailed versions of existing campuses, the company will use digital twin technology. It will enable remote students to access immersive and interactive campuses. With Meta Quest 2, students will be able attend classes, navigate and socialize on campus.

Steve Grubbs is the CEO of VictoryXR.

Morehouse is able to use its digital twin campus as a key part of the creation of the metaverse. The addition of historical landmarks like King Chapel or the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center is a great step in making Morehouse a reality. It is an amazing experience for staff and students.

VictoryXR wants to help make VR learning possible. Back in spring, the company collaborated with Morehouse College in Atlanta to launch what it dubbed the first “Metaversity.” Following the success of the initial rollout during the first semester, Morehouse plans to introduce more VR classes for upcoming semesters.

Grubbs feels confident that VR will continue to be a part of education.

“Within five to seven years, every college, university in the world will have at one level or another a metaversity. That is why we’re pioneering it and are advancing best practices. What happens in 2022 will in many ways define the future of education.”

Meta recently changed its brand name (NASDAQ:) from Facebook to reflect a complete shift into metaverse.
