The project aims to create a complete virtual, 3D school, enabling students to interact with each other, with mentors and virtual objects in an immersive environment. “We want to provide users with a variety of engaging and diverse experiences in the virtual space, to foster bonds better than even in real-life classes. There are many educational institutions interested in this technology, but their determination for real-life application is not as strong as FUNiX, a fully online school,” CEO World@Meta Luke Liu said.
As an online school, FUNiX is always a pioneer in applying new technologies. FUNiX is the first school in Vietnam to provide ChatGPT premium accounts for all students, and to host a ChatGPT Hackathon to encourage students to take advantage of AI tools in their learning.
Most recently, FUNiX also equipped students with an AI audio filter for optimal digital learning experiences. Building a Metaverse school is expected to promote cross-platform creativity for FUNiX students, according to CEO FUNiX Le Minh Duc.

"FUNiX is always looking for new ways, new technologies to provide our students with better experiences. We believe World@Meta has the technological strength to be our partner in this new endeavor,” she said.
Representing DTS Group, an investor of World@Meta and a partner of FUNiX, Chairman Truong Gia Bao expressed belief that the project would actualize an online school’s dream by building a virtual campus for FUNiX’s over 20,000 students. In the future, FUNiX will be able to move to Metaverse all current learning activities, such as: Welcome Ceremony, Commencement Ceremony, Job Fair, etc.
After an open discussion, the two companies signed a partnership agreement, according to which World@Meta will build a virtual school for FUNiX in the form of: Using avatars for demo, with integrated basic user interface.

Metaverse is a concept of a virtual universe built based on virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) technology, multi-dimensional graphics, AI, algorithm system, software and hardware to create a special social platform. Metaverse allows users to take advantage of an internet connection and interact in the virtual world in the most realistic way.
