This month, a Colombian court held its first legal trial in the metaverse.
The court case involving the parties involved in the traffic conflict was reportedly heard on February 15 in Metaverse, as reported by Reuters on February 24.
Avatars are used to represent the attorneys and defendants involved in the case.
The case is “more real than a video chat,” said Magistrate Maria Quinones Triana in a new report, wearing a black legal robe.
Hakim compared it to Zoom, where he said, “A lot of people turn off their cameras, you don’t know what they’re doing.”
The Colombian court held a hearing on Metaverse on February 15, 2023, allowing parties to appear via VR or video and use avatars or characters. The court ruled that “the use of technology such as Metaverse does not constitute a violation of due process” and instead:… https://t.co/NhsrYhLJTA

Court Proceedings In The Metaverse
More than 70% of respondents to a study published by CoinWire on January 16 believe that the metaverse will eventually affect social habits due to new techniques used for leisure and activities, resulting in virtual hearings.

Metaverse is a term used to describe an immersive and interactive virtual world, like a continuous virtual reality. Think of it as a digital space that you can enter and explore, just like in the real world.

Virtual Hearings: A Long Road Ahead
It may include everything from social networking and online gaming to e-commerce and education, and is expected to become a major part of digital life in the coming years.
Professor of public policy at Colombia’s University of Rosario Juan David Gutierrez points out that there is still a way to go before the metaverse is used in courtrooms.
“You need some special equipment for this, which is not available. And this leads to the question of accessibility of justice and equality,” he told Reuters.

In Dinosaurs And Avatars – Seriously?
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, virtual court hearings and other meetings are becoming the norm.
As governments around the world go into lockdown, businesses start using Zoom’s video conferencing platform instead, increasing their stock prices and increasing their company’s value.
Meanwhile, viewers questioned whether using the metaverse of cartoon characters was appropriate for a courtroom environment.
“I think it removes the seriousness. If I want to see myself in the character of a dinosaur, is that acceptable? ask the viewer.
