SK Telecom announced today that it will hold the world's first ultra-realistic virtual concert "Metaverse Music Festival" using volumetric technology on its Metaverse platform ifland.
Metaverse Music Festival' announced that it will be held at the Volumetric Concert Hall on the Metaverse platform ifland from 8:00 pm every day for one week from June 27 to July 3.
Although there are cases where famous foreign singers have held concerts in virtual space using game engines and computer graphics, this is the world's first live-action-based virtual concert using volumetric image capture technology on the Metaverse platform.
"At the ifland Metaverse Music Festival, we used volumetric technology that simultaneously captures 360-degree images of people with more than 100 cameras and creates a three-dimensional image based on live-action," said SKT. "Thanks to this, the audience can see the K-Pop star as huge as a building. I was able to enjoy surreal content such as performances.”
In addition, the audience who participated in the festival can move and enjoy 360 degrees at the Metaverse concert hall in the form of a sphere, and they can freely float in the air on a skyboard flying in the sky.
Meanwhile, SKT successfully demonstrated the volumetric concert demo content at MWC 2022 and received great attention from global audiences.
