Blockchain, Internet-Of-Things, and Ubiquitous AI for Metaverse
Dates: 11 Dec, 12 Dec 2023 | 9am – 5.30pm | Online
Duration: 2 Days
Course Overview
The metaverse is a new topic. Therefore, executives and experts who know enough about the Metaverse and how to handle that currently are scarce. Any Metaverse skill would be welcomed by the job market at least for a decade. The ICT industry, business, and service sectors, all need Metaverse experts, in particular, experts who know how to gain from other disruptive technologies (e.g. AI, IoT, and Blockchain) in the metaverse. Upon completion of this course, participants would be able to:
- Articulate the applications of ubiquitous AI (UbAI), IoT, and Blockchain in the Metaverse
- Realise the merits of applying disruptive technologies in the Metaverse
- Recognise roadmaps of implementation of disruptive technologies (Blockchain, IoT, UbAI) in the Metaverse.
This course is part of the Professional Certificate in Infrastructure of the Metaverse.
Course Description
During this course, participants will be introduced to the applications of Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and ubiquitous Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Metaverse. The metaverse is a very new technology. It is attempting to give more role to the virtual world. As the origin of the Metaverse is Information and Communications Technology (ICT), its fusion with other modern disruptive ICT technologies may be a considerable advantage for the Metaverse community. We are going to show students how Ubiquitous AI, Blockchain, and IoT can be employed in the Metaverse. The applications, tools, and methodologies will be described and practical aspects would be devised too.
Minimum Entry Requirement
- Diploma holder
- Basic ICT knowledge
- Basic Metaverse knowledge
