“In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic brought about a global crisis while also spurring the development of many new scientific and technological advancements. To facilitate online teaching during the pandemic, Dr. Yanjie Song, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Information Technology at The Education University of Hong Kong, and her research team developed a 3D metaverse platform called Learningverse. This platform provides a collaborative educational and training environment. Users only need an ordinary computer and a webcam to easily access an immersive online environment and interact with other users in real-time. Additionally, the platform’s applications are not limited to teaching; it can also provide high-quality services to institutions and enterprises in fields such as real estate, tourism, public services, and cultural arts……”
