Visitors who experienced the metaverse showed continuous reactions such as 'amazing' and 'fun'. Furthermore, there was a growing sense of anticipation for the future era, where they could experience the metaverse, which they had only seen in the media until now, and feel it approaching more closely than expected.
One visitor at the exhibition said, "I found it amazing to directly experience the metaverse, which I thought I would only use as an avatar in a virtual world," adding that "it was great to be able to vividly experience things like travel and attending concerts, which were difficult due to COVID-19."
In addition, within the exhibition hall, you can encounter '360xcon,' a 3D exhibition solution from 'Data King' that utilizes user-created 3D graphic voxel engines for creation functions and social networking technology using 3D avatars to create one's own space and engage in social networking within the metaverse platform.
The booth from 'S-Pin Technology,' the official CSP distributor for Microsoft Korea, allows visitors to experience mixed reality devices used to build metaverse environments as the sole domestic distributor of Microsoft's HoloLens(2).
The special experience hall 'Meta Arena,' located in the center of the exhibition, draws particular attention. Meta Arena utilizes New Normal metaverse technology to offer buyers and visitors various and special experiences and demonstrations about the metaverse.
At Meta Arena, companies leading various businesses by applying metaverse technologies are introducing new worlds of the metaverse to visitors, including ▲Snowdoc's metaverse live performance and NFT art works ▲Emotionwave's artist producing metaverse platform 'AIMPLE' and 'Perfect Musician' ▲Studio X's virtual human 'Loji' and Onmind's virtual human 'Sua'.
A representative from Metaverse Korea said, "This Meta Arena special exhibition hall has prepared customized special exhibits that match the level of the industry and general visitors regarding the metaverse in line with the digital transformation," adding, "In particular, we plan to operate various contents to revitalize future new industries such as virtual humans, metaverse platforms, and cultural tourism innovation."
