FROMSEOUL Co., Ltd. (CEO Choi Hyun-se) announced that it will participate in CES 2024, which will be held in Las Vegas, USA from Tuesday, January 9th to January 12th (Friday, local time) next year.
FROMSEOUL (hereinafter referred to as FROMSEOUL) has developed VR avatar market studio ‘EDEN’ to provide solutions for creating various avatars. It provides a web platform for easily creating personalized avatars and an avatar system SDK for developers, and proposes standardized avatars that adapt to various virtual environments in the rapidly growing avatar market. FROMSEOUL emphasized that it is maximizing the utility of avatars in the fields of VR games, metaverse, and virtual streaming.
At CES 2024, ‘EDEN’ will also be featured. This is a solution that simplifies 3D avatar creation through a user-friendly web-based interface. It has the advantage of allowing users to easily customize their avatars without understanding professional software such as Blender or Unity. We also provide an SDK that allows you to easily integrate the avatar UGC system into business services. Another feature of the avatars created in EDEN is that they provide seamless integration with various platforms such as VRChat and virtual streaming services.
FROMSEOUL began its activities in Vietnam through the ‘Vector Mars Vietnam Accelerator Program’ in the second half of 2023. Starting with the Southeast Asia region, we are providing avatar solutions to Metaverse blockchain game companies, and by discovering B2B needs, we plan to focus on Metaverse, games, and social service fields that require 3D avatar production. In Korea, we conducted a PoC with SM Culture Partners, an affiliate of SM Entertainment, for K-POP content solutions and developed metaverse content targeting global fans.
Rather than being complacent, FROMSEOUL selects games and the metaverse platform as its target in the US market. Various games and metaverse platforms can use EDEN to provide users with avatar customization features. In addition, Vtubers can use EDEN to create their own 3D avatars and create streaming content. Content production and marketing companies can also strengthen the interaction between customers and brands and provide fresh experiences through content production and marketing using avatars.
FROMSEOUL said, “EDEN aims to integrate avatar markets, studios, and hubs, and seeks to build a system where users can purchase avatars and link them with various platforms. “We will expand the inflow of users by linking with the global metaverse platform and streaming platform,” he said. “By facilitating the use of avatars in various digital environments such as metaverse, VR, and AR, we will provide users with a wider range of choices and customized experiences.” “We will provide it,” he said.
