DESCRIPTION:Join us for an enlightening webinar with Jeewika Ranaweera on 
 “Enabling the Metaverse: The Role of Photonics in Immersive Worlds.” D
 iscover how cutting-edge photonic technologies—displays\, sensing\, imag
 ing\, and optical connectivity—are shaping the future of immersive digit
 al environments. Learn how photonics intersects with AI\, digital twins\, 
 and XR to build scalable\, sustainable\, and inclusive metaverse experienc
 es.\n\nThe metaverse is redefining how we work\, learn\, and connect—and
  photonics is at the heart of it. From ultra-high-resolution displays and 
 holography to LiDAR mapping and energy-efficient data centers\, photonic i
 nnovations are powering the next generation of immersive experiences.\n\n
 🔹 Explore how light-based technologies intersect with AI\, digital twin
 s\, and XR.\n🔹 Gain insights into the opportunities and challenges shap
 ing the metaverse.\n\nSpeaker(s): Jeewika Ranaweera\, \n\nVirtual: https:/
