will be held in a specially designed\u00a0amphitheatre events space.<\/p>\n<p>It pledges to incorporate &#8216;everything that Clockwise is well known and loved for&#8217;, listing &#8216;stimulating design, varied spaces and a strong focus on wellbeing to enhance productivity&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>However, the organisation says: &#8216;Visually the metaverse will be infinite, with a collision of abstraction, symbolism and versions of hyperrealism.&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Clockwise says the space will work much like its\u00a0physical Clockwise offices operationally, it will be a &#8216;place where the usual restrictions around sqft and limitations of physical buildings don&#8217;t apply, where practical considerations such as weather and maintenance are unnecessary &#8211; a sort of Clockwise utopia&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The campus will incorporate elements from Clockwise&#8217;s real-life spaces, for example, an infinite moat nods to Clockwise Bristol which overlooks the canal, as working alongside water is known to have a calming effect and reduce stress.<\/p>\n<p>Workers will enter the\u00a0Clockwise Campus as a personally-designed avatar and &#8216;connect with people from different working worlds in a way that has not been done before&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The space will be accessed via a web browser, so users can attend meetings, events, or engage socially with others.<\/p>\n<p>According to Clockwise COO\u00a0Alexandra Livesey: &#8216;We are very excited to unveil our plans to launch our Clockwise Campus, the first ever workspace in the metaverse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Available to our members as an additional space for them to utilise, the Clockwise Campus will also be accessible by the wider public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;By design this will facilitate further business connections and entrepreneurial collaboration &#8211; in a whole new digital dimension.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>She added that the space will also be used to host events which will focus on &#8216;leadership, innovation and wellness&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clockwise collaborated with\u00a0architecture and design studio MoreySmith on the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Its Principal Director and Founder,\u00a0Linda Morey-Burrows, described its ongoing collaboration with Clockwise to work on &#8216;such a unique and future-gazing project&#8217; as\u00a0&#8216;incredibly exciting&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>She added:\u00a0&#8216;We were particularly inspired by the opportunity to add human elements into the meta world, by incorporating designated spaces for social interactions&#8230;we look forward to seeing Clockwise avatars from across the world coming together in this virtual space.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12486245\/First-office-open-metaverse-claims-utopia-free-limitations-physical-space-people-work-meetings-using-personalised-avatars.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First office to open in the metaverse claims to be a &#8216;utopia&#8217;
