[Announcement] “The World of XR and the Potential of the Metaverse as Envisioned by NTT QONOQ”

For the online symposium on Wednesday, December 21, we will be welcoming Mr. Mikio Iwamura, Director of NTT Konokyu Co., Ltd.

The metaverse has rapidly gained prominence as a key term that foreshadows the future. As various companies seek to enter the metaverse space, NTT Docomo has established a new subsidiary, “NTT Konokyu,” to consolidate the NTT Group’s XR businesses and focus on XR.

How will the metaverse evolve in the future, and how will it impact our lives, businesses, and education? What kind of world is the NTT Group envisioning? Mr. Iwamura will speak on the topic “The XR World NTT QONOQ Aims to Create and the Potential of the Metaverse.” We hope you’ll join us.
