In recent years, the new crown epidemic has been erratic, which has made it difficult for offline courses to be carried out in a normal and orderly manner. A brand-new experience has come, which greatly facilitates the way of life, and at the same time, it also provides the possibility to build a more complete online virtual digital space and lays a reliable foundation. This article will analyze the characteristics of the metaverse, the pain points of modern education, and the opportunities and challenges that the Metaverse Development Company brings to modern education to conceive the future education formed by the combination of metaverse and modern education.

The virtual space of the metaverse brings people endless imagination, and to a certain extent, it will also promote the transformation of education. The concept of the metaverse originated from games, such as the familiar “Glory of the King”, “My World” and so on. In these games, the player’s energy is highly concentrated, highly interactive, timely feedback, immersive experience, role Acting, collaboration, etc. are integrated into one. Like new technologies such as virtual reality, the application of Metaverse in the field of education will also have great development potential and bring many opportunities for education. Therefore, the combination of Metaverse and education and the empowerment of education can change traditional education and bring profound changes to future education.

Traditional education needs to be carried out face-to-face, which has prevented the productivity of education from greatly improving in the past 100 years, and has become a typical case of “cost disease” in the service industry. However, the emergence of the metaverse, through the immersive remote experience mode, has greatly improved the experience, function and participation of the virtual classroom, which will greatly improve the productivity of education.

The so-called “teaching by precept and example”, in the process of education, a lot of information cannot be conveyed only through words or words, but must be conveyed face to face by teachers. This feature creates obstacles for the popularization of education.

In reality, the distribution of educational resources is uneven, and many places lack excellent teachers. The application of the Metaverse Development Services can make the content communicated face to face realized remotely. Metaverse has a richer, more vivid and immersive experience than the current audio and video conferencing in terms of powering distance education, and it can also improve interactivity more effectively.

Metaverse can break through the limitations of physical space and display richer educational content, especially a large number of experimental content limited by physical conditions. For example, the evolution and formation of planets and stars, and the growth process of organisms can all be realized through the metaverse, and this realization process can also allow students to participate in the whole process.

Many universities have made extensive use of metaverse-related technologies in some experimental courses. During the new crown pneumonia epidemic, 185 first-year medical students at Case Western Reserve University are using HoloLens and mixed reality anatomy software to learn human anatomy. Mixed reality anatomy software helps students learn about the human body in ways that would not otherwise be possible. By accessing the tiniest details of human anatomy in 3D, students’ learning is not limited by the availability of cadavers for dissection or 2D medical textbook illustrations, enabling more vivid learning of human anatomy.

The education industry has entered the metaverse, and the extended reality technology AR and VR have become indispensable interfaces. At present, extended reality technology, like big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing, is widely used in various industries. VR and AR technology, due to their characteristics of breaking the boundary between reality and virtuality, have become the most popular when the concept of metaverse explodes. The basic entrance of the education industry to the Metaverse.

The hardware equipment for metaverse teaching includes not only basic equipment such as VR, AR, and virtual gloves, but also virtual equipment developed for teaching.

realistic teaching aids. Judging from the current metaverse industrial ecology at home and abroad, there are still quite a few companies that provide equipment support.

Relatively speaking, foreign metaverse-related companies are more focused on content, while domestic companies are more focused on technology. Foreign countries, such as Apple and Microsoft, are investing heavily in the production of metaverse-related operating systems and virtual reality equipment. , China, represented by Alibaba and Huawei, are all investing in the research and development of virtual reality equipment, so as to build a better path to the metaverse.

At present, the global shipments of VR and AR equipment continue to grow, and related hardware facilities are gradually being upgraded. In the educational metaverse, VR is to create a new virtual education field, and AR is to expand or enhance the real world where teachers and students live. The former focuses on virtuality, while the latter focuses on interacting with reality.

Education is further combined with artificial intelligence and big data, presenting another characteristic of metaverse education, that is, constructing virtual teachers and virtual classrooms based on artificial intelligence calculations to further realize personalized teaching.

Under the metaverse ecology, teachers have more possibilities for teaching. They can use traditional writing or screen display methods, or they can define their own classrooms in the Metaverse Development solutions according to the characteristics of the courses.

As an important part of society, education has played an important role in every era and is indispensable in every era. The Metaverse is a reflection of the real society, an organic combination and high degree of unity of reality and virtuality. The combination of metaverse and modern education will bring great opportunities and challenges to modern education. Metaverse education will create new educational concepts and methods, and modern education will undergo major changes.
