Abstract
Merdeka Belajar (the freedom to learn) in Indonesia emerged indirectly with the COVID-19 pandemic. Merdeka Belajar is a form of learning that aims to create an innovative, non-restrictive learning culture. With this idea, the development of online education is growing rapidly from online meetings to a virtual format and the development of online resources, rapidly available and broadly accessible. Social virtual reality (SVR) refers to popular 3D virtual spaces in which multiple people can engage with one another. This research aims to develop an SVR application as learning media by implementing Meta Avatar SDK with voice chat and lip sync features to mimic facial expressions. Based on the performance testing results, the application can render at an average of 76 frames per second. Based on the results of trials to 14 respondent, we measure satisfaction and interest level using the PIECES (performance, information and data, economics, control and security, efficiency, and service) Framework. The average value of interest is 4.19 and the average value of satisfaction is 4.13. This proves that the respondents are interested
