The Colombian judicial system conducts metaverse experiments

After recently holding a trial in the metaverse, Colombia has established itself as a leader in novel methods of conducting judicial procedures.

According to a recent story, a Colombian court recently staged its first judicial trial in the metaverse, with the court magistrate stating that it seemed “more genuine than a video chat.”

According to a Feb. 24 Reuters article, the Magdalena Administrative Court of Colombia staged a court case in the metaverse on Feb. 15 involving parties to a traffic issue.

The two-hour lawsuit, which was launched by a regional transport union against the police, will “partially” advance in the metaverse. The judgement might be rendered in the metaverse as well.

The players’ avatars appeared in a virtual courtroom, with Magistrate Maria Quinones Triana wearing black robes.

Noting that Columbia is one of the first nations to attempt judicial processes in the metaverse, Quinones told Reuters that the experience seemed “more authentic than a video chat.”

According to a recent study conducted by CoinWire and posted on January 16, 69% of respondents feel that the metaverse would ultimately alter social habits owing to new leisure and activity techniques.

The author of Into the Metaverse: The Essential Guide to the Economic Possibilities of the Web3 Era, Cathy Hackl, told Cointelegraph on January 31 that the “physical world side” of the metaverse would “appear” within the next decade.

The World Economic Forum touted metaverse experiences in January of this year. “Global Collaboration Village” 3D immersive digital sessions were available for attendees to experience the forum.
