Session Title: Metaverse: The Vision for the Future

Time: May 3rd, 2022 09:00-10:15 UTC

Location: Online, Zoom

This special session is organized by Niantic x RIT Geo Games and Media
Research Lab <https://www.rit.edu/nianticgeogameslab/>.

Aims: The aims of this SIG are as follows: Firstly, to provide a platform
for researchers and practitioners to engage with the various definitions
and the ways in which the Metaverse is developing. Secondly, to discuss the
opportunities, challenges, and future possibilities in the context of HCI.

Special Interest Group schedule: This SIG will be held online (75 minutes
in total), accessible for attendees in different physical locations to
join. The first part of the SIG will be a 10-minute opening from the
session host, explaining the objectives and structure of the SIG, followed
by voluntary self-introductions from attendees. In the next 10 minutes,
organizers will present the various definitions and directions of the
metaverse development, exposing the attendees to existing discussions of
the SIG theme. Next, organizers will create three breakout meeting rooms
for the topics: opportunities, challenges, and future possibilities in an
HCI context. The discussion will last half an hour, and participants will
choose one of three topic rooms to join and contribute to the discussion.
Each topic room will have one organizer to observe and support the
discussion. After the 30-minutes discussion, all participants will return
to the main session room and present the primary outcomes, highlighting
insights from their discussion (5 minutes each topic). In the end,
organizers will raise a free discussion across topics around the metaverse
and make conclusions for the SIG.

After Conference: Participants will be invited to submit to a special issue
on the Metaverse on a special issue of the Journal of Behavior and
Information Technology (https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/tbit20; Impact
Factor: 3.29).
