Metaverse Applications for Business and Learning

This unit explores practical uses of immersive technologies for business, education, community engagement, and commerce. Students evaluate hardware and platform choices, learn how to run events, training, and sales in the metaverse, and address security, monetization, and user‑experience considerations—building on foundational concepts and preparing for hands‑on creation in subsequent units.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze headset, controller, streaming, and platform requirements (e.g., Meta, NVIDIA Omniverse) to recommend appropriate hardware and connectivity configurations for specified metaverse use cases
• Apply marketplace, promotion, and monetization strategies to create a basic plan for selling content or products and promoting a presence in a metaverse environment
• Evaluate business, financial, and security risks (including transaction protection and privacy concerns) associated with metaverse activities and propose mitigation and compliance strategies
• Demonstrate the design and facilitation of a metaverse experience—such as an event, training session, or community engagement—that includes onboarding processes and metrics for measuring participant engagement
