FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a metaverse convocation?

A metaverse convocation is a graduation ceremony held in a virtual campus, where students, faculty, families and guests join as customised 3D avatars. The 3D venue can replicate the real campus or have a design of its own. Nobody needs to travel, so international guests can attend, and the MegaSpace.AI platform by ibentos scales from small gatherings to global convocations.

How many people attended the BITS Pilani metaverse convocation?

The BITS Pilani convocation, described as the world's largest metaverse convocation, had over 6,600 attendees in an interactive virtual space on ibentos' MegaSpace.AI platform. Attendees used customisable, lifelike 3D avatars, AI was used to run the event, and over 12,000 selfies were taken during the ceremony by graduates, families and guests.

How quickly can a metaverse convocation space be set up on MegaSpace.AI?

MegaSpace.AI is a no-code platform, so metaverse convocation spaces are created and managed without a dedicated technology team and can be set up within minutes. Design and functions are fully customisable for each event, and event management includes automated processes, real-time feedback and dashboards for the organising university or college.

Is there an upfront cost for the virtual space on MegaSpace.AI?

MegaSpace.AI offers free virtual land, so there is no upfront cost for the convocation space itself, and the platform has free and low-cost subscription packages. Holding a convocation in the metaverse also removes venue rental, travel and logistics costs for the university and for graduates, families and guests who would otherwise travel to attend.

What else can universities use a MegaSpace.AI virtual campus for besides convocation?

Beyond convocation, universities can use a MegaSpace.AI virtual campus for virtual admission tours for prospective students, and for inter-campus events, global competitions and collaborative projects. The same virtual campus also supports student showcases and AI-powered recruiter booths for placements, which suits institutions with students and families spread across countries.
