On the sidelines of the celebration honouring students who won local and international awards, the Centre of Excellence and MSA TICO are excited to announce the launch of the multidisciplinary project "Metaverse Capsule."" This project is a unique collaboration between three important faculties at MSA University: Arts and Design, Engineering, and Computer Science under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Ghada Abdelhady, TTO director and AL Mai Othman, faculty of Arts and Design. Centre of Excellence is so proud to present this innovative project that brings together a wide range of skills and knowledge.
The project is a pioneering investment in the field of entertainment and communication technology. It aims to create a unique experience for isolated individuals. We know that social distancing can lead to isolation and social exclusion, and that is why we designed the "Metaverse Capsule." The main goal is to enable isolated individuals to interact with their families and friends in a realistic way. By sitting on an innovative chair and wearing a virtual reality headset, they can immerse themselves in virtual worlds that offer engaging interactive experiences.
This experience is based on Unity technology. The chair's motors are controlled by signals from the program, which enhances realism and makes individuals feel as if they are interacting with the virtual world around them.
MSA president: Prof. Dr Khayri Abdelhamid, the head of the Centre of Excellence and the Dean of the faculty of Arts and Design, Prof. Dr Tarek Saleh, and the head of MSA TICO, Assoc. Prof. Samer Ibrahim honoured the teamwork from the three faculties:
