Metaverse: Who Will Be Excluded from Higher Education?

Abstract

The premise of this paper is that using the metaverse for higher education presents a new inclusivity challenge. The paper presents a counter-example to the argument that the metaverse will increase accessibility. This paper argues that visually induced motion sickness has the potential to become a new form of disability discrimination. This barrier is one that needs addressing if access to the metaverse becomes more prevalent in higher education.
