Can the Metaverse foster a more inclusive society? The metaverse holds immense potential to reshape how we work, play, and interact with brands, but it also offers a unique opportunity to build a more inclusive society. By learning from the mistakes of Web 2.0, we can ensure that marginalized and underrepresented communities are protected and represented in this virtual space. Initiatives like the World Economic Forum’s collaboration with major tech companies and inclusive events via Metaverse platforms show that it's possible to create spaces where everyone belongs. By embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion at every stage, the metaverse can truly be a place for all. #Metaverse #Inclusion #AI #Blockchain #Web3 https://lnkd.in/dxGBdd5A

Innovation should enhance human capacity, not replace it, The expansion of our reality must be rooted in enriching lives and experiences. GatherVerse Virtual World Symposium. The Future of technology is—Artificial, Spatial and Immersive. We are entering an age where intelligence takes new forms. A time where earth is no longer limited by the material layer. The augmented and immersive sphere abides. What will it mean to exist in hyper-real environments built by man and machines? The future of interaction is unfolding across industries, education, and civilization. Each space reflects possibilities we’ve yet to fully comprehend. We’ve never been this way before. Consider how these technologies affect us all. As we build, we must ask: What will relationships, communities, and experiences become in these extended environments? The question is no longer if we will interact with virtual layers but how we will operate within them. This is beyond big-headed avatars and uncanny settings. The future of immersive intelligence is arriving. Every perceptive layer of Earth can be extended. The world has become machine-readable. How will this benefit all of humanity? Our GatherVerse Virtual World Symposium addresses this and more. We’ve assembled global minds to bring narrative and meaning to this collective expression. Hear their insights. Consider their experiences. It is time for us to assemble. Please share widely. Join us. One to another, May our gather be well. *links in comments* #thankful #grateful #gatherverse #xr #ai #community #spatialintelligence #metaverse #HumanityFirst  Jenni Ogden Jens Kull Ruth D.

We had a wonderful discussion with travel technology leaders Sam Simmons and Graeme Stevens around the Future of Travel & Technology to close out our August activities at the MTA. Some key areas of the talk include a look into consumer trends, the recent Skift Travel Trends report, the importance of incentives, the issues facing the travel sector including mass tourism and the two guests gave insights about their projects MintPass and SITE Network. These conversations are important as we transition to a more hybrid future of travel, add more layers of technology, focus on continuous learning and offer room for collaboration between all who are working to make the travel sector more sustainable in the long term. #travel #tourism #hospitality #technology #digitaltransformation #web3 #metaverse #VR #AR #XR Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/exvvTNhN
