SUMMARY:HRIC Tech Tuesday - The Future of Web 3 and the Metaverse
DESCRIPTION:HRIC’s Tech Tuesdays are 1 hour long monthly virtual events discussing a variety of technology and business topics in Hampton Roads\, VA.\n\n\n\nSession 25: The Future of Web 3 and the Metaverse \nTuesday\, December 13\, 2022 – 12-1:00p EST \nLed by Joe Weaver – Spatial Computing Specialist SA – Amazon Web Services (AWS) \nWeb3 is the newest version of the internet. That sounds huge\, and it is\, but the internet isn’t being uninstalled and replaced with a new version. Rather\, it’s about adding to what we already use. And don’t worry if you’re confused about AR vs. VR\, you love VR or you hate them both—there will be something for everyone. Web3 will eventually shape what the metaverse is and how we shop (AI may pick out the best VR headsets for us\, for example) and will keep our data more secure.  \nIn the metaverse\, users traverse a virtual world that mimics aspects of the physical world using such technologies such as virtual reality (VR)\, augmented reality (AR)\, AI\, social media and digital currency. The internet is something that people “browse.” But\, to a degree\, people can “live” in the metaverse.Oct 3\, 2022. \nJoin this session to hear Joe Weaver’s thoughts on where the industries are today\, and when ready\, how these advancements in technology will impact our work and personal lives. \nZoom log-in details will be emailed out to registrants in advance of the session.  \nTo learn more about HRIC and its programs\, visit our website at: HRIC Website. \nTo learn more about the benefits of membership visit: Why Join HRIC. \nJoin out LinkedIn page at: HRIC LinkedIn or Facebook at: HRIC Facebook. \nPlease share with your network to help spread the word. \nWe hope that you can join us to learn more about this very important industry direction.
