An article that was published not too long ago claims that a judge who works in a court in Colombia recently presided over the first legal hearing to take place in the metaverse. According to the court, the process appeared “more authentic than a video conversation.”

According to a report made public by Reuters on February 24, on February 15, the Administrative Court of Colombia’s Magdalena carried out a court case in the metaverse, involving participants involved in a traffic dispute.

The complaint that was launched against the police lasted two hours, was filed by a regional transport union and will continue “partially” in the metaverse. It is not out of the question that the verdict will also be reached in the metaverse.

A virtual room was occupied by the avatars of the participants, and the magistrate, María Quiñones Triana, wore a black tunic suitable for the process.

It has been said that Colombia is one of the first countries in the world to experiment with legal proceedings in the metaverse. According to a comment obtained by Reuters from Quiñones, he described the meeting as “more authentic than a video conversation.”

This comes as a result of a recent study conducted and published by CoinWire on January 16, which indicated that 69% of respondents think that the metaverse will ultimately affect social behaviors as a result of new forms used for leisure and activities. This is due to the fact that 69% of those surveyed think that the metaverse will ultimately affect social behaviors as a result of new forms of leisure and activities.

If this is taken into account, then, in Hackl’s view, “the way we socialize will be profoundly affected by the metaverse.”

The experiences in the metaverse were available for guests to participate in the world economic forum which took place in January of this year. Conference participants were offered the opportunity to participate in the “Global Collaboration Village,” which was the name given to the forum’s own immersive 3D digital sessions. These sessions were available to them throughout the conference.
