This article in edCircuit is a reprint of a press release. "Avantis Education today announced the launch of Eduverse – a ground-breaking new online platform that gives students access to a K-12 metaverse." The only ground-breaking here should be the burial of the idea that this is in any sense the 'metaverse' - it's just a bunch of VR scenarios made available for private access by school classes. These are called 'expeditions' and are either 360-degree photos or 3D models, both well-known and we--established technology. Most of this is promotional; the real money is in Avantis' ClassVR headsets. None of this is new; beware people wrapping older tech in new 'metaverse' clothing.
