Abstract: | By leveraging auto-ethnographic methods, this project positions the researcher’s personal experience as an East Asian queer person to highlight the struggles faced by East Asian queer immigrants in Toronto, especially in the context of masculinity and gender expression. The project employs foresight methods to outline emerging trends of embodied experience in the metaverse. The project includes a virtual reality (VR) experience that highlights my personal and cultural issues surrounding body image, racial stereotypes, and avatar embodiment. This project also collects feedback from audiences of the VR experience to provide recommendations on how to achieve a more inclusive future in the coming era of the metaverse. |
