Saudi Arabia has achieved a significant milestone in the field of technology by introducing the National Virtual Universe platform, becoming the first country in the world to do so. This unique blend of the virtual and real worlds offers a vivid 3D experience shared among all users. The goal of the Virtual Universe in Saudi Arabia is to transform various sectors, from business and education to healthcare and tourism.
Metaverse Platform: Bridging the Virtual and Real Worlds
The Saudi Ministry of Culture has made a groundbreaking move by unveiling the Metaverse platform. This marks a cultural revolution, where the platform is supported by advanced Generative Media Intelligence (GMI) technology, built on Oracle’s Hyperledger Fabric 2.5 blockchain, along with other intelligent technical support systems.
Integrating Culture and Art
The virtual universe aims to seamlessly integrate cultural and artistic domains into the digital transformation process. The Metaverse platform also showcases Saudi Arabia’s achievements in music, art, history, culinary culture, and craftsmanship. Additionally, it features mini electronic games, virtual performance centers, and even virtual symphony concerts.
Discovering Heritage and Culture
Furthermore, the Metaverse platform includes a designated “Historical and Cultural Zone” designed to encourage a global audience to explore Saudi Arabia’s heritage and culture. Users can access this platform via mobile phones, virtual reality (VR) headsets, computers, and other devices. Millions of people, regardless of their location or preferred technology, can easily participate and immerse themselves in Saudi Arabia’s unique culture.
Experts believe that Saudi Arabia’s Metaverse platform will create new economic growth opportunities, attract foreign investment, and contribute to the nation’s overall development.
