A Friendly Metaverse - Is It Possible???

Does the “metaverse” give you pause? Some envision a bright hyper-connected reality, while others understandably dread a faceless and terrifying online future. That’s because the metaverse is for the most part yet to be built with quite a bit of unknowns.

At ROOM, we believe it’s our social and moral responsibility to help define this future, to make it more human-centric and as our motto goes, to create “a better place for better days.” For this newsletter, we’ve rounded a few of our findings and initiatives on a more people friendly metaverse. Enjoy!

Recent news from South Korea caught our attention in the form of Metaverse Seoul, turning the capital into the first major city to set up a public metaverse platform. Of particular note is that it allows Seoul citizens to access official city paperwork, receive help on starting businesses or filing taxes, and to hold meetings and remote consulting sessions, as part of their first phase features. Read up on the exciting details with UPI.

Speaking of remote sessions though, our Nordic Cabin has been designed as a place to escape the hustle and bustle, a retreat to think and create. With a snowy view, a lit fireplace, and a stack of logs high enough to keep you toasty for your next meeting, it evokes a sense of warmth and familiarity. Why not try signing up together with your remote team?

An upcoming design release - stay tuned! - is our sleek Swiss Boardroom. We well understand the gravity and pressure of having to make leadership decisions that affect your entire team and their lives. To assist management, we created an aspirational space worthy of bold, confident decisions. Read up on all the design details here.

If you’re just launching a remote team or looking to break away from a traditional office environment, we’re offering a Founder Plan for just this specific purpose. It provides exclusive access to rooms and features for enabling the whole team without burning out from online work.

And sharing advice on how to successfully do all the above, is International Business Consultant Christine Hansen in our “ROOM for Thoughts” series. Tune in to her perspective on how a visual space can help the brain to relax and feel safer.

So is it realistic to think we can shape a people-centric web3 for the next generation? We’re firm believers.?? But like anything worthwhile in life, it takes motivation and teamwork. ?
