"Digital Frontiers: Healthcare, Education, and Society in the Metaverse Era" ed. by Yu Chen, Erik Blasch

This volume explores how the merging of AI, XR, blockchain, and Web3 technologies is changing every aspect of our lives. In a world where physical and virtual realities increasingly converge, this book provides essential insights into the technologies that are fueling this transformation and their major social implications.

Step into the Metaverse and explore the digital frontiers reshaping our world. Learn how new digital therapeutics are changing the way we deliver personalized, noninvasive medical treatments, and discover how VR environments stimulate learning and enhance procedures and diagnostics. The new reimagining of culture and education through fashion, learning, and human-AI interactions via digital twins, virtual agents, and machine learning is bridging geographical boundaries by manifesting globally connected citizens or communities. Underlying these changes are some of the foundational technologies building a truly open community metaverse. Layered views of reality are possible due to AR and data integration, and new models of social and economic utility are made in the material world due to blockchains and decentralized systems.
Whether you work in tech or healthcare, education or policy, whether you are one of many who should be concerned about the near future or just curious to know how it all unfolds, this book will give you a clear view of what opportunities and obstacles lie ahead.
