Facebook broke news in 2021 that it is creating an umbrella company through which it is poised to create a virtual reality. Living life through avatars in a new world has long been the subject of science fiction; now, though, technology is moving closer to making virtual reality, well... a reality.
Data privacy + security experts Dan Ayala and Gary Price joined METRO’s Davis Erin Anderson for a discussion on what the Metaverse could mean for library services, how we might prepare for a new mode of human interaction, and how data privacy issues could fare as folks begin to imagine life as citizens of the Metaverse.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How and why data privacy issues will be impacted in virtual reality settings
- How library services might change should virtual reality become a thing
- The implications for a continued shift in how humans interact with the internet
