-: Encounters in the Metaverse.


This audio visual installation projects the whole body of a real person
into the Metaverse instead of using an ordinary avatar.
It is then possible to communicate using audio and text-chats
with other users, seen as Metaverse avatars.

This is an unusual encounter which should provide
for interesting views and analysis
of what is the Metaverse compared to RL(Real Life).
Up to now interaction has always been through avatars,
3d models with limited facial and body expressions.

The projection of real life sized human beings
into the Metaverse is something that hasn't been done or explored
this alone is enough of a reason to start this research and explore its potential.
This research will be carried out not in labs but in RL public places
through an aesthetically pleasing sound, light and video installation.
