Digital Safety in the Metaverse - MSIM Capstone Project Sponsored by Microsoft

Microsoft | University of Washington

▶

Web 2.0, the current internet generation, embarked on a digital age, connecting people worldwide. The metaverse is the next level of the internet generation, bringing more possibilities for user engagement in a virtual space. With infinite possibilities, drawing boundaries in our research was essential to enable relatability with our audience and arrive at systematic conclusions. Since the metaverse is immersive and presents new opportunities that have not been fully explored, we developed three scenarios in which users will likely engage in virtual healthcare, online dating, and gambling. We'll examine the potential risks of the metaverse and risk mitigation strategies for general users, service providers, and the legislature because you, as the user, have limited control over the metaverse to reduce risks related to digital safety. <br> Role: Researcher and Writer
