The technology world is upside down. What is this metaverse that you hear and read about everywhere now? Why can it change the world? What are the opportunities for teams, companies and our lives?
If you’ve always wondered the same thing, we invite you to attend the guest lecture on Monday, May 9. The lecture will be held by the two experts Ben Keller and Ricardo Müller. 
Topic
Metaverse – What is it / How does the Metaverse work at all / Opportunities & Risks.
“We will explain our vision of the Metaverse as the next iteration of the Internet. For us, it’s important that we build for the Metaverse, we don’t build the Metaverse. We will outline what this means to us from aspects like inclusion, responsible innovation, etc. And we’ll also outline initial use cases for specific industries based on Metaverse-realized technologies like AR/VR and Mixed Reality World to inspire students and start a discussion at the end.”

At Startplatz, MediaPark 5, second floor.

May 09, 2022, 4:20 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
