The school’s metaverse was built by LG Uplus to cater to tech-savvy college students.
South Korean telecom provider LG Uplus, a subsidiary of LG, recently launched a metaverse experience at Yonsei University in Seoul.
The Yonsei metaverse, aptly dubbed “Meta Yonsei,” features a recreation of the university’s Sinchon campus complete with traversable landmarks such as the school’s auditorium and library, as well as tiered access to digital resources and private meeting places for faculty and students.
Unlike many metaverse experiences, Meta Yonsei limits many of its features to verified students. While it appears prospective students and other outsiders can virtually walk around the campus to view its features and landmarks, access to peer meeting tools and certain areas within the metaverse is limited to registered students.
