Homeless in the Metaverse
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Media / Use of XR / 2023
The charity Entourage wanted people who spend time and money in the metaverse to realise that they should take care of the real world before investing in virtual worlds. To do so, with the help of people experiencing homelessness, Entourage created Will, the first homeless person in the metaverse. Will lives in various metaverses, like Decentraland, Minecraft, and Sandbox, and is the spokesperson for homeless people around the world. He’s been delivering his message on many platforms – real and virtual – and many people have since joined his battle.
