VRARA Member Get Real was recently nominated as a finalist for an award from media firm LAVNCH/code for a metaverse homecoming experience they created for their client (University of Maryland Global Campus) last fall. See details and VOTE! Voting for the award is now open and runs through Friday April 5th at 11:59 pm ET.
University of Maryland Global Campus’ (UMGC) Homecoming 2023 – Reach for the Stars involved design elements that literally can not be replicated in the real world. The fact that it was hosted in the metaverse meant that there were no real physical boundaries or limitations to the potential of what could be delivered to the client. The combination of limitless design possibilities and the metaverse truly delivered an out of this world experience for all who attended.
The journey with UMGC showcased Get Real’s ability to blend creativity with technical prowess to deliver a unique virtual immersive experience to the UMGC team, students, and alumni. The project underlined why Get Real continues to innovate using immersive technology to foster stronger ties between key members of its clients’ community.
The engagement metrics supported the success of the project, highlighted by:
Over 2,200 visits to the Welcome Area (Hub) yielding over 39,000 total user minutes.
Over 1,100 visits to the Networking Lounge, with an average of 24 minutes spent in the experience per visitor.
Over 13,000 total user minutes spent in the Celebration Zone during the live DJ event.
Support your co-VRARA member and cast your vote for them before Friday, April 5th!
