Colombian judge applauds the initiative
According to details from the proceeding, the two aggrieved parties were represented with avatars. The presiding judge was also represented with an avatar, but she had a black robe depicting her status in the metaverse. Notably, Colombia becomes one of the few countries where this feat has been achieved, with the presiding judge telling reporters that the feeling was excellent.

Analyst predicts future integration of Web3
According to an author and proponent of the Web3 ecosystem, the metaverse will witness more infusion in the coming years. She mentioned that the ecosystem is well-placed to enable people to interact across all spheres of life. This means that people do most activities that even the physical limits them from doing. For example, the dating sector could witness a major boost from the metaverse as people can date other people across different castes and countries without being available in their locations.
This way, the socialization aspect of our lives would be impacted positively. The recent forum held by the WEF also featured the good that the metaverse can do across different industries. The forum also featured a Web3 experience where participants were taken through the real-life feel of the metaverse.
