summary
Claims that real-time 3D already powers practical learning: Unity is used to build a virtual lab/digital twin of a university days before COVID forced remote study, an arena trains staff in a warehouse with Oculus headsets, and UPS runs VR driver training for safety. Creators sell metaverse goods (an 18‑year‑old’s 3D sneaker collection nets about $5M NFT drop; virtual fashion pieces fetch €10k), content is preserved via volumetric capture holograms, and tools are free Unity for students worldwide.
