The Incheon Meta Campus consists of a project room where students can create with coding, an exhibition room where students can display their creations, an education center with meeting functions, and a classroom space where classes can be held, and Newcle has already built a creative editor (3D content authoring tool) that can be used within this metaverse with Incheon Meta Campus.
