Current discussions of the metaverse and the increase in VR adoption make this an opportune time to consider how data can, is, and could be employed in virtual reality and immersive environments. In virtual reality, people exist as data. These data provide opportunities for research and innovation, but also commodification and surveillance. As part of the DSI@UTM’s focus on Responsible Data Science, the Data and the Metaverse event seeks to imagine future possibilities, challenges, and implications of data creation, collection, analysis, and deployment in the metaverse.

Join us to explore the future of data and the metaverse. Leading researchers and practitioners will present on the metaverse from varying perspectives of information practices, social interaction, public policy, as well as computer science and design. The day will include opportunities for break out discussions, as well as an opportunity to experience virtual reality.
