The University of Southern Denmark has launched the SDU Metaverse Lab, which is an interdisciplinary research, academic and impact-generating organization. The Metaverse Lab is focusing on creating experiences and technologies that enable people to shape and engage with 'the future'. The lab combines researchers, companies and organisations on interdisciplinary projects such as gaming, health, robotics etc. and the academic environment is designed to facilitate collaboration and technology transfer.
The Danish Technical University (DTU) is another research institute with increasing focus on the metaverse. DTU Space is helping Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen ahead of his second space mission. DTU is proposing a project in which Andreas Mogensen will test a Virtual Reality mental health system for astronauts.
Denmark is also a leading global centre for breakthrough sound technology. To support this, the government has founded the Danish Sound Innovation Network – a hub for research institutes, businesses, public organisations, policy makers and professional users. Key areas of expertise include human perception of speech and sound, hearing and hearing loss, loudness, computer-aided speech, music recognition, signal processing and optimised transducers.
