Japanese VR and metaverse developer AOMINEXT announced their plans to build a metaverse system for a fully virtual high school in Japan. Students will be able to attend the school remotely using custom 3D avatars and graduate with regular high school diplomas.\u00a0

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Student<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a press release for PR Times<\/a> published on January 9, AOMINEXT revealed that they will be creating a metaverse correspondence school system in collaboration with Yushi International High School. The virtual high school will have a three-year, credit-based course with a curriculum recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. As such, students who graduate will receive legitimate diplomas equal to those of regular high school graduates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Virtual<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Students of the metaverse high school will be provided with VR equipment free of charge and will be able to attend the school from anywhere in Japan or overseas. Students will attend the school in virtual space using a 3D avatar (that appears to be anime-styled), which they can freely customize to their liking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school\u2019s official site<\/a> boasts the opportunity to \u201cbe yourself without being constrained by your appearance\u201d and devote yourself to school without worrying about gender, looks and insecurities. An introductory video shows a virtual school building and classroom, with avatars of various appearances attending class and interacting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Avatars<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the regular high school curriculum, the school will also educate students on virtual reality and metaverse creation. To stimulate interaction, the school will organize virtual homeroom, e sports tournaments and virtual school festivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metaverse school is currently looking for potential enrollees, and will also be accepting mid-year transfers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
