Roundtable: Towards a responsible metaverse
Technology companies are currently investing massively in their vision of ‘the metaverse’. This development comes with great promises and opportunities, but our research into immersive technology and harmful behaviour online also exposes serious social and societal risks.
This round table centres around the question ‘how to design a socially responsible metaverse based on public values’? Earlier during the conference week, the Rathenau Instituut will engage with citizens in public dialogues to collect their views, needs and concerns when it comes to a future metaverse. We would like to share these insights with tech entrepreneurs, developers and designers in the round table on Thursday as a starting point for a meaningful discussion on the topic.
If you work on immersive technologies and want to attend the roundtable, please register for one of these timeslots on Thursday 1 December in the Hudig zaal at De Doelen, Rotterdam.
