PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites for this programme. Prior knowledge on any of the topics is not required. 

Overview

Web 3.0 and Metaverse - two terms that are generating a lot of hype and excitement in the world of business technology right now. Although they are related in several important ways, they both describe different concepts. So, let’s take a look at the difference.

The Metaverse is not to be confused with Web 3.0, which is the third stage of development of the World Wide Web. The Metaverse refers to a virtual reality-based parallel internet world where users can interact with each other and digital objects in a 3D space. It's an extension of the internet into a three-dimensional virtual world. It is an immersive, interactive, and social platform where people can create avatars to represent themselves, buy and sell virtual property, and interact with other users in real-time. Web 3.0 is more about blockchain technology and concepts, including digital identity, smart contracts, and decentralised applications (dApps).

This module allows participants to demystify Web 3.0 and the Metaverse, deepen their understanding and learn about its applications and business opportunities.
