Abstract
While the academic community tries to define and experiment with the metaverse, businesses and institutions seek to build their representation in the metaverse. Many educational institutions build meta-campuses and move online classes into virtual environments beyond simple videoconferencing. This paper describes our experience building a university metaverse, highlighting the technical, human, and organisational challenges we have encountered through two major events. Considering the issue of real-time communication and scalability in the web-based metaverse, we also present an analysis of video streaming in virtual reality (VR) platforms: Meta's Workroom, Spatial, and Mozilla Hubs.
