London [UK], April 19: 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 ‘MetaPlay’ 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.
At MetaPlay, participants will learn hands-on skills on digital world-building directly from industry experts. The list of the instructors includes names like Akshay Goyal (Founder of Tron Labs and Partner at Architron Group), Ping-Hsiang Chen (Senior Architect at Zaha Hadid Architects), Vineeth T K (Educator at Avani Institute of Design), Cherylene M. Shangpliang (Designer at Zaha Hadid Architects, London), Zehao Qin ( Design Systems Analyst in Applied Research + Development (ARD) group at Foster + Partners, London). In addition, at the end of the 6-day workshop, students are expected to design and build architectural scale projects within a virtual environment. The final jury and exhibition work will occur on the concluding day and will consist of experts like Mayur Mistry, Richard Chou, Saenawee Chatameteewong, and Amit Gupta. Students from multiple countries are slated to join this global design workshop and by participating in the course, the students will not only receive a behind the scenes exposure of how to create entertainment venues for metaverse and crypto futures but will also be certified as Metaverse Designers.
Talking about this unique workshop, Akshay Goyal, the Co Founder of Design Future Foundation (DFF) and Dezact, shares, “Curating this global scale workshop in partnership with Avani Design Institute is a matter of absolute honor to us. In the post-pandemic world, the Web 3.0 revolution has triggered an immense interest in smart contracts, virtual metaverse platforms and all things NFT.
