Chula Engineering launches a short course for the public “Metaverse Technology and Applications” to expand the learning framework, and keep people attuned to technological changes to meet the future needs of Thai society.
Nowadays, technology is open to everyone to re-skill and up-skill themselves for life. Whatever you want to do, even if it is to “build the world,” you can learn and try to accomplish it, through a short course such as “Metaverse Technology and Its Applications” at the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University. Applications are now open to the general public. thai university
“Currently, technology is ready to take us into the full Metaverse, but what’s not ready is the “virtual world creator”, and we need a tremendous amount of manpower to create a Metaverse and change it for the better.” Associate Professor Dr. Gridsada Phanomchoeng, Chula Engineering professor, discusses the goals of the course and reassures interested parties that “Anyone can create” a Metaverse.
What is the Metaverse?
The Metaverse is well-known and has been widely talked about since Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Metaverse as a platform to create virtual worlds. But Metaverse is not new, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gridsada says.
“We live with technology almost all the time. Whether being at work, chatting with friends on social media, or playing games, we now exist in a very different world. Similarly, as we chat with friends, broadcast live streaming, or do various other things on “Facebook” which is also a Metaverse, we live in a different world.”
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gridsada defines the “Metaverse” simply as follows:
- People can spend a long time in it.
- It makes them happy.
- People can interact with others.
- 3D graphics are not needed. 2D pictures or no pictures at all are fine.
Why is the Metaverse important?
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen the adoption of technology to facilitate life in the New Normal, be it telemedicine, online teaching, webinars, and the Metaverse virtual world – another way to connect people in a world of diversity.
In the Metaverse, you can visit museums and get a closer look at paintings by world-class artists without having to take a plane ride or worry about the museum hours. The Metaverse extends our horizons of learning, whether it’s cooking classes, virtual operating room classes, or (virtual) trips to the jungle to learn about the ecosystem.
