Amazon UNIVERSITY World aims to bring metaverse into esports

Technological advances in everything related to the metaverse are increasing, and different companies worldwide are experiencing these new challenges.

This time, Amazon UNIVERSITY Esports has decided to launch a new UNIVERSITY World project. This project will bring the metaverse to all corners of the education sector and esports, establishing a connection between students worldwide.

Today’s “virtual” world

There is no doubt that the metaverse is becoming more and more a part of our daily lives. However, each discovery makes our lives revolve around the digital world, and we often do not perceive the fine line between the natural world and the “virtual” one.

In addition to digital devices with which we interact every day, many technological giants have taken the initiative to launch different virtual worlds online. These are fully immersive experiences where everyone who accesses this world can interact, through their “avatars,” with other people. Many do it for fun, to participate in games, to be part of virtual conferences, or to meet new people.

It is a virtual world where you can do practically anything you want without having all the limitations that may exist in the world we call “real.”

Amazon UNIVERSITY World

Amazon, one of the world’s largest and most successful companies, has decided to venture into this world with the recently launched Amazon UNIVERSITY World. This project is aimed at university students from 16 countries around the world.

According to the official information of this new launch, students will be able to interact with each other in an environment that will be common to all countries or simply in sections that are independent of each country. This will undoubtedly allow to organize of different communities of players around the world. Additionally, they can communicate through an integrated chat and score points to obtain rewards within the metaverse.

What UNIVERSITY World wants is that each of the users who access this virtual world can create and customize their own avatars as they see fit. They can customize it with different colors, names, gestures, or movements. All this will be visible to them and the rest of the users in this virtual world.

Future of “Virtual” worlds

Undoubtedly, the metaverse will continue to grow steadily over the next few years. Especially if more industries like Amazon venture into and invest in this area. With this, the metaverse will gradually become more accessible to more people.

Amazon University Esports said in its official statement:

“UNIVERSITY World aims to enhance the user experience for Amazon UNIVERSITY Esports students and bridge the boundaries to explore new ways to interact and test new products in a virtual environment.”

Right now, UNIVERSITY World is already available in several countries around the world, specifically in seven of them:

• KSA
