Lotte Innovation (CEO Koh Doo-young) announced on the twenty ninth that it would grand open the ultra-realistic metaverse ‘Caliverse’ to users all over the world.
The reason is that the metaverse platform, which was previously only available to some users, might be released to the world in web and download formats.
Calibus is one in all the representative metaverses with a high sense of realism. You may also finely customize your avatar’s facial expression and body shape by location, size, shape, and color.
This time, realistic graphics were emphasized as well. The reason is that more realistic graphics were implemented by expressing various environmental changes intimately, reminiscent of the degree of sunshine reflection appearing in a different way depending on the viewing angle and the direction of the shadows changing. Changes in day and evening time much like reality were also applied.
The play space can also be as large as the actual thing. ‘Origin City’ is about 1.33 million pyeong, which is about 6 times larger than the realm unveiled at CES 2024 earlier this yr. It’s about 34 times the dimensions of Lotte World in Jamsil, Seoul. Taxi stops have been placed in about 30 major locations to reinforce convenience of movement.
Origin City is split right into a central district where you may experience the corporate’s brand by theme, an eastern district where you should purchase various fashion-related items to your avatar, and a western district where users can create content centered around UGC Town. The play area will proceed to expand in the long run depending on the variety of users participating.
You may also experience searching for food, electronics, clothing, cosmetics, etc. at distribution channels reminiscent of Korea Seven, Lotte Hi-Mart, and Lotte Duty Free positioned within the central area. Specifically, Lotte Duty Free offers global brands reminiscent of Givenchy Beauty, MCM, L’Occitane, and Acme de la Vie of the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) Group.
Within the entertainment sector, you may experience the next-generation virtual performance content of K-pop idol Enmix and EDM DJ Alok in a concert hall that may accommodate 80,000 people. Caliber plans to expand K-pop performances based on its partnership with MBC. Through an exclusive partnership with the world-renowned EDM festival Tomorrowland, it would also construct Tomorrowland Planet, which might be unveiled inside the yr.
You may also decorate the inside of the home your avatar lives in. You may also visit other users’ houses or invite them to your individual. In the long run, we plan to update so that you could purchase virtual land and buildings.
