Meta worked with US-based VR specialist, VictoryXR, to create a virtual campus with buildings and facilities for the University of Maryland Global Campus. Virtual students can put on a headset and enter the virtual university, with access to five metaverse courses, including blockchain, biology and astronomy courses.
In the future, Meta aims to increase the number of universities to 100.
