- Access into a virtual 3D world, accessible via laptop or desktop, integrated into GeniusU, Genius Group’s Edtech platform.
- A central hub for students to meet their Genie AI, and discover their talents, passions and purpose in order to personalise their learning journey.
- Four virtual campuses: Entrepreneur Campus, Investor Campus, University Campus and School Campus. Each campus contains a vibrant community, lead mentors, course content, GEMS (student credits), and a calendar of live courses and events.
- A Partner Portal for faculty and community partners to get certified and utilise GeniusU’s AI driven tools to build their global classrooms and offer their courses.
Genius Metaversity has partnered with Vatom, who has provided the virtual environment and 3D platform together with virtual world-building tools in both Genius Metaversity 1.0 and 2.0, and with GeniusX, who is providing the architecture and design of the campuses, partner portal and global classrooms in Genius Metaversity 2.0.
Roger Hamilton, founder of Genius Group says: "We are excited to build on our partnership with Vatom Labs and to welcome GeniusX who are bringing their innovative designs to our Metaversity. GeniusX has built a leadership position in virtual worlds for learning with the Retreat App on the Meta Store. With the partners we have assembled, together with the current AR/VR projects and plans our partners have with well known entities in this space, we are excited to be working with pioneers in the new world of gamified, virtual learning. We believe the future of education is in personalised, gamified, immersive learning, and Genius Metaversity is a key part of our plan to strive to remain at the cutting edge of the advances currently taking place in Edtech.
Eric Pulier, founder of Vatom says: “Genius Metaversity is exactly the kind of project that Vatom’s platform and set of tools have been designed for. We are excited to integrate our world building tools and avatars with GeniusU’s partner portal, campuses and Genie AI. We also see potential in being able to extend Genius Metaversity’s campus model to companies building their own global classrooms to train and certify their teams and customers.”
Nick Janicki, CEO and co-founder of GeniusX says “This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to apply our unique learning methodologies into Genius University, which was first showcased in the Meta VR store.
