Stories that have caught our eye about what is going on in the Metaverse right now.
- Microsoft moving away from Hololens and XR hardware - with Palmer Luckey's Anduril taking it forward for military use in the US Army's IVAS project, which we cover in The Military Metaverse
- Open-Verse has been set up as an EU funded project to promote "open, and ethically responsible European Virtual Worlds" and metaverse companies
- Schools use virtual reality to tackle gang culture - BBC News report of a project in a Birmingham school around knife crime - sounds very similar to a project we did in Lanarkshire in 2010 on knife crime and youth culture - creating NPC avatars that intimidated the player avatars was a challenge, but we did it.
- Not a great fan of out-of-world editors, but Meta has launched a desktop editor for their Horizon Worlds which may offer the potential for more democratic creativity and more interesting worlds to be created, might even give it ago myself.
