The Guinness World Record for most people using virtual reality currently sits at 1,867 participants and was recorded back in 2017, when the metaverse did not exist.
The world’s largest virtual reality (VR) in-person event is scheduled to take place in Madrid in a bid to launch a new metaverse.
The event will take place on August 27 at the WiZink Center in Madrid and will be hosted by MundoCrypto, a cryptocurrency training academy that operates in Spanish-speaking countries.
The event will see 7,500 guests attempt to break a world record in the VR category and also try to create a new world record category that involves the Metaverse. The event will begin at 17:00 CET on Saturday and will run until midnight, streaming out to over 100 countries in English and Spanish.
Mani Thawani, the founder of Mundo Crypto, speaking after the announcement, stated:
“My team and I are proud to have played a key role in driving mass adoption of crypto over the past three years through our online educational courses. The time has come to bring the crypto community to our hearts for a unique physical experience in the metaverse. Why not be brought to a special place in Madrid, and break a world record at the same time?”
