The 1st International Symposium, "Meta-X: Towards the MetaMuseum," aims to explore the potential of the post-metaverse concept applied to MetaMuseums for new connections, communication, and shared experiences. The concept of the post-metaverse refers to the use of existing metaverse technologies in real-world, creating a "3D spatial web" that transcends the boundaries of space and time. By harnessing the power of the metaverse, we can connect people in a distance, share experiences, and access relevant information/content about real-world objects/locations through the metaverse. Especially, a main theme of this symposium is augmenting the Museum in Daejeon with a realistic 3D model of the Museum in NY and enabling immersive experiences of Museums in New York, with a particular emphasis on facilitating shared experiences through avatars. Through the subsequent discussions, the symposium aims to thoroughly explore collaborative opportunities between KAIST and NYU over the next 4-5 years and concretize the vision of the meta museum.
