The metaverse in education market is poised for growth, driven by the growing demand for virtual learning. Virtual learning entails learners participating in a digitally-based curriculum, with instruction delivered by professors via online video or audio. In the context of education, the metaverse enhances the quality of virtual learning environments through the utilization of virtual and augmented reality technologies. For instance, as of May 2023, data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a US-based federal entity specializing in education data collection and analysis, revealed a significant increase in the adoption of distance learning. In 2021, approximately 9.4 million American students, equivalent to 61% of all undergraduate students, were enrolled in at least one distance learning course, marking a substantial rise from 36% in 2019. Furthermore, 28% of American undergraduate students, representing around 4.4 million students, enrolled in distance education courses in 2021, compared to 15% in 2019. Consequently, the surging demand for virtual learning is a driving force behind the growth of the metaverse in the education market.
The rising demand for corporate training is poised to drive the growth of the metaverse in education market in the future. Corporate training involves the process of instructing employees through various learning programs and activities, aimed at enhancing their knowledge and skills. Metaverse in education plays a crucial role in corporate training by enabling the creation of immersive learning environments, integrating storytelling and role-playing, offering AI-driven assistance, and establishing digital spaces that traditional training methods cannot replicate. For instance, a survey conducted in July 2022 by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), a US-based professional human resources membership association, revealed that more than half (55%) of surveyed employees expressed the need for additional training to enhance their job performance. Furthermore, over 76% of workers believed they were more likely to remain with a company that provided continuous training opportunities. Consequently, the growing demand for corporate training is a driving force behind the expansion of the metaverse in the education market.
Concerns regarding privacy and safety within the metaverse have the potential to significantly impede the growth of the metaverse in education market. The absence of regulatory frameworks to enforce privacy standards in the metaverse is a prominent worry. Given that the metaverse is a relatively new concept, it lacks specific regulations to safeguard the privacy and security of users. This dearth of privacy and safety measures may result in users being hesitant to participate in virtual environments, ultimately limiting the adoption of metaverse technology in education. As an example, in 2021, a report from Arkose Labs Inc., a US-based company specializing in online account security and fraud prevention, revealed that metaverse businesses encountered 80% more bot attacks and 40% more human attacks than other online businesses during the same year. Consequently, apprehensions related to privacy and safety are acting as a deterrent to the growth of the metaverse in the education market.
Prominent players in the metaverse education market are actively concentrating on the development of advanced solutions, particularly in the realm of mixed reality, to maintain their market standing. Mixed reality, an immersive technology, seamlessly integrates physical and digital elements to facilitate interaction between the two. For instance, in November 2021, Microsoft Corporation, a leading technology company headquartered in the United States, introduced Microsoft Mesh. This innovative feature blends the productivity tools of Microsoft Teams with the mixed-reality capabilities of Microsoft Mesh, enabling individuals in different physical locations to engage in collaborative and shared holographic experiences. Mesh builds upon existing Teams features like together mode and presenter mode, enhancing collaboration and immersion in remote and hybrid meetings. Users of Mesh for Teams can enter virtual environments using personalized avatars, fostering innovative interactions in virtual meetings.
In April 2022, Unity Software Inc., a software development company based in the United States, formed a partnership with Meta Immersive Learning. The collaboration aims to expand the realm of VR (virtual reality) education, promote immersive learning experiences, and enhance the diversity of the XR (Extended Reality) creator workforce. Through this partnership, the two companies intend to eliminate barriers to accessing immersive technologies, ushering in new opportunities for individuals to learn and develop within the metaverse.
