Metaverse is not only about games and entertainment. Virtual and augmented reality technologies are applicable in many sectors, including education. Especially the Covid-19 pandemic has changed many perspectives and systems; for example, offline learning shifted online.
No matter how skeptical we are about it, schools or universities are also expected to greatly benefit from the metaverse, using its immersive abilities to make virtual learning environments more lively and create more engaging learning for the student.
RANS Entertainment – the owner of intellectual property, VCGamers – the blockchain infrastructure developer, Shinta VR – the developer of the metaverse world and UpBanx – the financing and liquidity partner, will collaborate with the School of Business and Management (SBM) of the Bandung Institute of Technology in developing the world of education in the metaverse. SBM ITB’s mission is to educate students to become innovative and entrepreneurial leaders and develop and disseminate business and management knowledge to advance business, government, and society. This mission can be realized in the metaverse world.
“The collaboration between SBM ITB and Ransverse will be conducted in stages. In the early stages, we will activate virtual incubation activities for SBM ITB startups and organize workshops and classes. The next step is creating metaverse versions of several labs at SBM ITB, such as the Technology Management Laboratory or MOT Lab, Incubator, Makerspace, etc. The purpose of this collaboration is to explore educational activities using new technologies to be more relatable to students while also increasing the learning experience for students. We hope that this collaboration can accelerate the development of the digital entrepreneurship ecosystem at SBM ITB,” said Dina Dellyana, the Director of the GreaterHub SBM ITB.
RansVerse is the first metaverse in Indonesia using blockchain technology as the foundation to connect the physical and virtual worlds. Various items in RansVerse will be in the form of NFT. Players are provided with a RansVerse Builder where they can create & design their NFT, such as houses, costumes, vehicles, etc., which later can also be traded on the VCG marketplace using $VCG Tokens. We also plan to expand our partnerships with brands, content creators, gamers, and game developers to establish an inclusive platform for the local and international gaming communities.
In addition, the RansVerse Initial Land Offering (ILO) Wave 1, most awaited by $VCG holders, will be officially opened to the public at 21:00 WIB on May 30, where $VCG holders will finally get the opportunity to buy virtual land in this ‘R’ shaped archipelago and are neighbors to the celebrity couple, Raffi Ahmad and Nagita Slavina. Technically, prospective buyers can access the website (https://ransverse.vcgamers.com/maps); by connecting the cryptocurrency wallet via trust wallet, metamask, safepal, or wallet connect, they can directly select and buy white land.
