QueretaroReborn
This project proposes to generate significant changes in the downtown area of Queretaro by drastically minimizing spaces dedicated to motorized transportation, increasing pedestrian space, and condensing the city back to its center.
Building a digital twin in Virtual Reality for some of the areas, to showcase how the city would benefit from the changes, allows participans to walk in the city as if it was transformed. This represents a a critical step towards adoption, and also a key opportunity to get adequate feedback from all stakeholders.
ITU FG-MV in the metaverse
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has embraced the future by hosting their meetings in the metaverse. At the first ITU Focus Group on metaverse (FG-MV) meeting, it was resolved to organize Special Sessions and fully engage in the metaverse to enhance collaboration. This innovative approach was previewed at the third ITU Forum in Arusha, Tanzania, showcasing the transformative potential of virtual environments.
Encouraged by positive feedback, the Focus Group in October 2023 decided to further investigate using a virtual reality platform for meetings. From then until May 2024, several working and task group meetings took place in the metaverse, where experts shared insights and crafted deliverables together. This initiative set a new bar for virtual collaboration, underscoring the significant impact of advanced technology in the telecommunications sector.
