London [UK], April 19<\/strong>: A unique 3 week long online course has been launched for design students which is focused on designing entertainment venues in the metaverse. Design Futures Foundation (DFF), USA, in collaboration with Dezact, UK & Avani Institute of Design, India, has launched the online course titled \u2018MetaPlay\u2019 to promote the potential and viability of emerging technologies like parametric design & modeling tools, and augmented reality\/ virtual reality tools. This one of its kind global online course is scheduled to be organized in 3 phases over three weeks. MetaPlay is set to be a micro design studio equipping the participants with actionable digital and parametric modeling skills and exposure to the game engines and CGI tools within the AEC industry.<\/p>\n

At MetaPlay, participants will learn hands-on skills on digital world-building directly from industry\u00a0experts. The list of the instructors includes names like Akshay Goyal (Founder of Tron Labs and\u00a0Partner at Architron Group), Ping-Hsiang Chen (Senior Architect at Zaha Hadid Architects),\u00a0Vineeth T K (Educator at Avani Institute of Design), Cherylene M. Shangpliang (Designer at\u00a0Zaha Hadid Architects, London), Zehao Qin ( Design Systems Analyst in Applied Research +\u00a0Development (ARD) group at Foster + Partners, London). In addition, at the end of the 6-day\u00a0workshop, students are expected to design and build architectural scale projects within a virtual\u00a0environment. The final jury and exhibition work will occur on the concluding day and will consist\u00a0of experts like Mayur Mistry, Richard Chou, Saenawee Chatameteewong, and Amit Gupta.\u00a0Students from multiple countries are slated to join this global design workshop and by\u00a0participating in the course, the students will not only receive a behind the scenes exposure of\u00a0how to create entertainment venues for metaverse and crypto futures but will also be certified as\u00a0Metaverse Designers.<\/p>\n

Talking about this unique workshop, Akshay Goyal, the Co Founder of Design Future\u00a0Foundation (DFF) and Dezact, shares, \u201cCurating this global scale workshop in partnership with\u00a0Avani Design Institute is a matter of absolute honor to us. In the post-pandemic world, the Web\u00a03.0 revolution has triggered an immense interest in smart contracts, virtual metaverse platforms and all things NFT.\"\"<\/p>\n

Virtual worlds such as Decentraland and Sanbox have seen a flurry of\u00a0activity and metaverse has emerged as an disruptive technological trend slated to transform our\u00a0societal futures by impacting the way we live, work and play. Over the next decade, people will\u00a0seek more and more immersive virtual experiences, pushing consumers and brands into the\u00a0Metaverse. In such a scenario, the MetaPlay course expects to trigger a game-changing\u00a0enabling experience for the virtual designers and developers of this future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ping-Hsiang Chen, Director and Co Founder of Dezact London said \u201cCovid19 has catalyzed the\u00a0process of Metaverse adaptation. As it presented the world with unprecedented operational\u00a0challenges, the world embraced many cultural shifts quicker than anticipated, and Metaverse is\u00a0one of them. As a result, several tech giants all across the globe are now on the move to\u00a0creating Metaverse for users. Within this frame of reference, MetaPlay course is a platform for\u00a0the next-gen digital architects and designers to learn the ins and outs of Metaverse from experts\u00a0in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vineeth TK, Faculty at Avani University highlighted \u201cAvani Institute has been at the forefront of\u00a0experimentation and international collaboration in the Indian Context. The MetaPlay course was\u00a0brought in with a similar spirit and will allow virtual designers, architects, and developers alike\u00a0to explore the digital modeling tools and gaming industry workflows to upskill themselves to\u00a0design for future virtual worlds. The course will enable the participants to create an immersive\u00a0digital environment that accommodates people in a shared virtual world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Design Future Foundation (DFF) is a non-profit organization that believes in the potential of\u00a0design in solving global problems and creating a massive impact in our rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n

Operating at the intersection of design & emerging technology, DFF engages with\u00a0organisations, academia and professionals to explore the impact of design beyond its bracketed\u00a0boundaries.
