Japanese virtual reality and metaverse developer, AOMINEXT , has revealed
its plans to build a metaverse system aimed at a completely virtual
high school in Japan . According to a press release published in PR
Times earlier this month, AOMINEXT will carry out this project in collaboration
with Yushi International High School.
The virtual school will offer a three-year credit-based course, with a curriculum recognized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan. The highlight of this project is that students will be able to attend school remotely using customized 3D avatars and graduate with regular school diplomas.
The key details are:
- The
three-year course will be credit-based and recognized by the Japanese
Ministry of Education.
- Students
will be able to attend school remotely using personalized 3D avatars.
- Virtual
reality equipment will be provided free of charge to students.
- The
diplomas awarded will be equivalent to those of graduates from regular
schools.
In addition to the standard high school curriculum, the
virtual institution will also offer education in virtual reality and metaverse
creation. Students will have the opportunity to participate in various
virtual activities such as class reunions, esports tournaments, and virtual
school festivals to stimulate interaction.
The registration process for the metaverse school is already
underway, and transfers will be accepted mid-year. With this innovative
approach, the virtual school seeks to offer students the opportunity to “be
themselves without being limited by their appearance” and dedicate themselves
to their studies without worrying about gender, appearance and complexes.
