Building emotional intelligence and soft skills in the metaverse

Spatial computing tech and the immersive nature of the metaverse can help enhance emotional intelligence (EQ) and collaborative skills across the workforce. In this interactive workshop – which is designed for virtual reality novices and veterans alike, and combines in-person conversation with metaversal exploration – Stanford University wellness & technology educator Caitlin Krause leverages the science behind EQ to demonstrate how VR can improve teamwork and soft skills.

As founder of extended reality design studio MindWise, Caitlin incorporates research in creativity, neuroscience, design thinking, technology, communication, and media to promote compassionate, empathetic connections at local and global scale.
