Not just for gamers: how the metaverse might impact your life

Is the metaverse still a thing or has the world's attention moved on to generative AI?

On this episode of Radio Davos, we speak to a vice president of the consumer electronics company HTC. Pearly Chen heads Business Development & Content Partnerships for VIVEPORT a subscription plan for virtual reality gaming - immersive video games played using VR headsets.

Pearly is convinced of the potential for metaverse applications for healthcare, social care and education, and believes the advent of generative AI will make us all builders of the metaverse.
