The Media Majlis at Northwestern University in Qatar will be conducting an exhibition of an in-depth look at one of the most important topics of today, the metaverse, at its seventh exhibition, MetaWhat?

This multi-faceted exhibition takes the audience on a journey through today’s digital landscape across five thematic installations.

• MetaWorld- unpacks the seven distinct layers that make up the metaverse, representing different phases that work together to create a holistic experience for users.
• MetaPurse- where the audience can gain knowledge about what they will need in their ‘purse’ to navigate the metaverse and how we will begin to communicate differently.
• MetaCreate- where visitors are encouraged to participate, build and create in a dedicated space, from playing Fortnite to learning how to (low)code,
• MetaExperience- a captivating data visualization that offers a glimpse of the growth and development of virtual land sales.

As they enter the exhibition, visitors will also be introduced to five specially created avatar personalities. Digital screens, hologram NFT displays, and virtual and augmented reality are only some of the other tools used to present the content.

This exhibition will include a weekend of talks, panel discussions, showcases, walkthroughs, and experiences to commence in October.

Visitors will be provided with English and Arabic glossary of words and phrases related to the metaverse and Web3.

Note: The exhibition will take place from 23 August - 7 December 2023, Sunday to Thursday only.
