Mindful Metaverse: Digital Wellbeing in Social and Spatialized Contexts

Speaker: Caitlin Krause

This one hour session explores the future of healthy digital experiences in the context of the metaverse. We will take this concept of a shared, spatial, social environment beyond the “M” buzzword du jour and look at how intentional digital choices can lead to positive, full-life flourishing – without having to discard all forms of technology. Caitlin Krause is an award-winning experience designer in XR (extended reality), and she specializes in building and leading mindful social experiences in virtual and augmented reality. Hear Krause talk about her learnings and research involving the metaverse, demystify terms, and experience a group meditation in a digital garden.
