Can you imagine that soon we will be able to access completely different worlds whenever we want to? The metaverse is at the moment most known in the field of computer games but more and more big tech companies are investing into the development of the metaverse. In the metaverse, we would be able to build cities, attend concerts and meet friends in a digital world. Can you imagine that you could meet up in a café or own a house in a parallel world?
TalTech Legal Lab invites you to join our event and become a part of our network! The open seminar will take place on November 3, 2021.
Among other questions, we will try to find answers to the following:
- What kind of technological progress is needed for metaverse to become a part of our everyday lives?
- Can we own property in the metaverse?
- What will be the implications of having a separate identity in the metaverse?
- Would metaverse mean the end of nation states?
