Metaverse, which increased its popularity after the social media giant Facebook changed its name to Meta, attracts attention in many countries of the world.
While the metaverse craze continues unabated, innovative steps are coming from countries in this field.
Recently, South Korea, one of the strongest countries in Asia, announced that they would establish the virtual city of its capital, Seoul. With the project called “Metaverse Seoul”, people living in the city will be able to tour the city virtually.
After the country’s interesting steps in the Metaverse space, Meta’s South Korean representative, Jung Ki-yung, said at a press conference that the country is one of the best environments for the Metaverse to develop.
Jung stated that South Korea fits comfortably into the Metaverse space, as there are companies such as Oculus Quest that produce original VR devices in the country.
According to a report by the Korean Ministry of Science, the country’s VR market grew by more than an annual average of 36% in 2018, proving that South Korea is a good environment for the Metaverse space.
Emphasizing that the point of focus in the metaverse field is to create a suitable Metaverse ecosystem for users and content developers, Jung stated that Meta has made great efforts to build the metaverse ecosystem.
Finally, Jung added that virtual goods created in the Metaverse will be widely accepted through NFT technology, which aims to make them workable on various platforms.
