Step into the future: Exploring the Metaverse as Nerds with the University of Twente

To expand our knowledge about virtual reality and explore the exciting possibilities of the Metaverse, we recently had the privilege of collaborating with the University of Twente. Two teams from Nerds & Company had the opportunity to visit the university's campus, where, in total, nine of our colleagues immersed themselves in the virtual realm. Thanks to Meta Horizon Workrooms, we gained an understanding of just how immersive a Metaverse experience can be. With customisable avatars, different sets of locations and dynamic meeting environments.

Following our virtual reality experience, we engaged in an extensive discussion about the social and ethical implications that arise in this digital environment. At Nerds & Company, we believe it is important to fully grasp how virtual reality and, specifically, the Metaverse might impact us and our customers in future products and services and this collaboration helped us do that in a fun and exciting way!

The virtual reality experience has inspired us as Nerds regarding possibilities in future scenarios. At Nerds & Company, we are driven by a passion for pushing boundaries and embracing the future. Our collaboration with the University of Twente shows our drive to stay at the forefront of technology and explore new frontiers and has given us a great first look into the world of virtual reality.

As a final note, we’d like to give our thanks to Hakan Bektas, Dr. Robin Effing and Marissa Okkerman from the University of Twente for hosting the wonderful virtual reality event.

We at Nerds & Company do progress driven design & development and to put it simply, we’d like to believe that we are really good at it. Don’t just take our word for it, take a look at our cases to see what we have worked on. Looking for a fully invested partner to reach your digital goals? Get in touch
