Tokyo University to start teaching in virtual reality

The University of Tokyo will offer training in virtual reality — representatives of the university will launch Todai training courses that will take place in metaverse.

According to local media, almost everyone will be able to enroll in the courses, from high school students to experienced professionals. The university representatives hope that the Todai project will help solve the problem of the shortage of qualified specialists in the field of digital transformation and Web3 technologies.

The University of Tokyo is not the only one that sees the need to increase the number of specialists in the field of virtual technologies. Recently, the Lebanese University announced the launch of a course dedicated to blockchain technologies and investing in cryptocurrencies, which is how the country hopes to fight hyperinflation. Also, the University of Cincinnati has launched two training programs on cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, and new financial technologies. And the University of Arizona is planning to issue non-fungible tokens and conduct virtual classes in the meta-universe.
