"3rd International Symposium on Meta-X: Advancing Collaboration and the MetaMuseum Vision"
The Meta-X Symposium series continues to explore the post-metaverse concept, which utilizes existing metaverse technologies to create a "3D spatial web" that connects the physical and digital worlds. This concept fosters new forms of interaction and shared experiences, transcending traditional spatial and temporal boundaries. By harnessing the power of the metaverse, the symposiums aim to facilitate long-distance connections, provide immersive experiences, and enable access to real-world information through digital environments. This vision sets the foundation for creating the MetaMuseum, where virtual and physical spaces blend to offer innovative, interactive cultural experiences.
The 3rd International Symposium on Meta-X will take this collaboration further by focusing on enhancing research cooperation and educational frameworks between KAIST and NYU. The symposium will prioritize real-time network connection testing to ensure seamless technological integration, enabling concrete advancements in the MetaMuseum vision. Furthermore, a field study of New York's Art Museums and Exhibitions will provide valuable insights into creating sustainable user experiences and effective UX scenarios for MetaMuseums. Through these discussions and practical explorations, the symposium aims to define clear steps for advancing the MetaMuseum concept.
