El Metaverso Como Herramienta Lúdica Para la Prevención de los Riesgos de la Mina Antipersonal, Municiones sin Explosionar y Artefactos Explosivos Improvisados Para Estudiantes de la Facultad de Derecho USTA – Tunja.

Abstract

This article explores the use of the metaverse as a gamified learning tool for law students at the Santo Tomás University in Tunja, Colombia, to teach preventative measures against the risks posed by antipersonnel mines, unexploded ordnance, and improvised explosive devices. To this end, it proposes the use of virtual environments to simulate situations involving these devices and train students in decision-making, applying their theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios and effectively and safely reducing real-world imminent dangers.

The article also describes the mined territories in Colombia and their impact on fundamental human rights, actions that ultimately constitute serious violations of International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law. Finally, it describes key concepts of the metaverse and the decentraland platform, on which the minefield will be created as a gamified tool for the teaching and learning process.
