Meta to launch virtual and augmented reality in Hong Kong

According to the South Morning China Post, Meta Corporation will collaborate with coffee shops, schools, and art institutions in Hong Kong to demonstrate how metaverse can be used in real life.

Developers will create concrete examples of the coexistence of the virtual and the real through VR exhibitions and AR trainings for teachers and school students. Local NFT developers will also be allowed to share their work on Meta’s Instagram.

According to the authors of the idea, Hong Kong’s population is well versed in new technologies and uses the leading methods of earning money and learning online. That is why this city is ideal for testing new technologies and implementing original strategies.

It is at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) that architects have developed a blockchain-based system for remote tracking of the quality of student dormitory construction. E-Inspection 2.0 remotely monitors the entire process from start to finish. Based on temperature, humidity, and vibration data, the system determines the health and quality of building modules, which are affected by a large number of factors.
