Metaverse
The library has always been home to our knowledge, dreams and imagination throughout the collections and programs libraries offer their communities.
The Metaverse has been around for decades.
With emerging technology and creation programs we're able to create portals into virtual worlds where people can interact with each other on a level playing field. Creating A Metaverse Library conjures up a myriad of possibilities and opportunities to explore.
We are constructing an immersive environment that is "home" to many different experiences and places for interaction. This "home" will host a community's Lost Stories built by high school students working with SJSU
students in the Mozilla hub.
