Clark Atlanta University Awarded $11.8M for Knowledge Metaverse Hub

HBCU Clark Atlanta University will join the advancing metaverse with the assistance of a liberal award. EON Reality granted the private college a $11.8 million award to lay out the Knowledge Metaverse Hub inside the HBCU community.

The grant is quick to be offered to a Historically Black College and University, as per a press release.

“Clark Atlanta University remains dedicated to our scholars and equipping with the best resources and innovative technologies,” said president George T. French Jr., Ph.D.

“As we accelerate our momentum, these essential partnerships support our efforts to step into the future of interactive teaching and learning through relevant and future-focused innovations.”

The college intends to grow its instructive footprint.

The Knowledge Metaverse is a vivid world consolidating this present reality around us with the computerized data and increases of a lengthy reality or a XR-empowered universe. The idea is comparable to immersive encounters in expressions, gaming, and entertainment.

The award will permit Clark Atlanta University to further develop learning and preparing among workforce and understudies. On account of EON Reality’s work, the Knowledge Metaverse will give the means to the college to “offer training to their faculty and students augmenting traditional in-person and online instruction.”

“Partnering with a respected HBCU like Clark Atlanta University, whose graduates shape our world every year, demonstrates the impact EON-XR can have on the future of academia and the sciences,” EON Reality organizer Dan Lejerskar said.

“Clark Atlanta University is an invaluable addition to EON Reality’s network of U.S. institutions. The university brings its rich social justice history and research-intensive instruction to the Knowledge Metaverse. When a university with their commitment to social justice and deep focus on digital learning can utilize and add to the Knowledge Metaverse, the possibilities for reshaping our society are endless. I can’t wait to see how Clark Atlanta University incorporates EON Reality’s solutions into their curriculum.”
