Based on these technologies and know-how, Caliverse is developing a metaverse with realistic graphic visuals and a unique interactive system. In a virtual shopping center, a VR shopping host kindly explains the information users need, and in a virtual concert hall, it provides a realistic experience with more than 65,000 audiences. We plan to sell land, buildings, and avatars made with NFT, so users can create their own avatars and interiors with editing tools, and enjoy various UGC such as karaoke and DJing.
Caliverse’s Metaverse (VR version demo and 3D TV) allows you to experience the gorgeous visual metaverse developed with Unreal engine 5 through VR devices. In a virtual space, you can meet staff and avatars, listen to explanations, and play virtual shopping centers, virtual stages (K-POP, DJ EM), etc.
A Caliverse official said, “The existing Metaverse was designed to combine creative freedom and games, so it was thought that there were limitations in expressing shopping or entertainment performances. Accordingly, based on realistic and beautiful graphics, we wanted to create a metaverse where real people can coexist, creating a platform with more convenient shopping, impressive entertainment, and an intuitive community. “In addition, we wanted to create a more attractive virtual world through new sensory experiences through VR devices as well as 3D TVs that allow you to enjoy 3D without glasses,” he explained.
