Session: Community
Connection & Co-Creation in the Metaverse
Trust is the foundation of our relationships and communities. Virtual realities – whether 2D in zoom spaces or collaborative tools or 3D in virtual worlds like Altspace VR or games create spaces and first steps on our way to the metaverse. Here, the relationships and experiences can be participatory and increasingly immersive according to new rules. Undoubtedly, this is a challenging learning field, but also a wonderful opportunity to further develop the community concepts that already exist. After all, we live in an era of post-individualization, in which it is becoming increasingly important to build platforms for shared value creation. This applies both within the company and outside the organization.
