Project Details

The CHSS Metaverse is a collaboration between Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland, and the Strathclyde Business School at the University of Strathclyde. The space has been conceived and developed to accommodate several different functions—it acts as a social space, a retail space, an events space, and even a space for exercise. The CHSS metaverse makes CHSS activities and events more accessible and inclusive while helping to futureproof CHSS income streams.

What is the metaverse?

You may have heard people talk about the metaverse and

wondered what it is. Well, the metaverse means different things to different people, but most would agree that it is a virtual space that moves beyond the internet we know. It does this by providing additional benefits to users, such as a sense of immersion, user agency, and real-time interactivity. The applications of the metaverse are incredibly varied and have the power to transform spaces like retail, events, education, and work.
