Despite its buzz, the “Metaverse” is often misunderstood. Since Facebook, or should we say "Meta," brought the idea to the forefront, it has been difficult to articulate it to our friends, families, and colleagues.
This is where Metinburgh steps in, boldly carving a new path. They're pioneering the world’s first Virtual Reality Tourism experience, seamlessly merging the real and virtual worlds.
No longer do we need to wake up at the crack of dawn, catch a flight, and physically travel to different destinations.
This is the true essence of the "Metaverse" – the ability to seamlessly walk from one city to another, all without leaving the comfort of your living room.
To truly appreciate this revolutionary concept and its awe-inspiring implications, we need to get to the roots of how Metinburgh works and what they’re building in this space.
As the name suggests, Metinburgh draws its inspiration from the historical city of Edinburgh, Scotland. But what exactly is it?
Simply put, Metinburgh is capable of creating a “virtual twin” of an entire city – a comprehensive digital landscape where visitors can explore, shop, and socialize. The beauty of Metinburgh is its accessibility: it can be streamed to any Internet-enabled device – from VR headsets and computers to tablets and smartphones.
Metinburgh offers people worldwide the opportunity to visit their dream cities, socialize with others, and delve into the city’s top cultural, artistic, and heritage spots. From enjoying performances at cinemas and music venues to browsing fully functional shops and malls (where real and digital goods can be purchased with both traditional and cryptocurrency), Metinburgh turns the concept of tourism on its head.
This streamed VR tourism platform is a world first, making beautiful UK cities available to anyone, anywhere in the world, and ultimately encouraging more people to visit these locations in person!
Metinburgh thrives on bringing people and communities together, all whilst learning the history and principles of what is Scotland today, and how it’s a place of wonders for many that is unknown to them.
For the public sector, “Metinburgh provides the opportunity to extend the skills in Creative Industries, leverage Scotland's education heritage and lead in 21st-century tourism”. It’s ****designed to deliver a virtuous cycle led by experiences and enhanced by NFTs.
Everyone yearns for an escape from the routine, a respite from their daily worries. It's human nature to seek out new places, experiences, and knowledge. Metinburgh aims to cater to this inherent desire through the intricate fusion of blockchain technology, NFTs, and the metaverse.
Any project that ventures into the uncharted territories of the web3 space faces the complex task of integrating blockchain technology into its structure – whether that's a project, game, or app.
Metinburgh embraces this challenge head-on, with a vision to reshape the traditional tourism industry. Their bold strategy? Digitally recreating physical landscapes and transforming them into immersive adventures that users can embark upon from the comfort of their homes.
In upcoming updates, Metinburgh plans to utilize Enjin’s technology stack in the ecosystem for NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens).
These unique NFTs will be used for memberships, rewards, adventure trails, and virtual/physical utility for everyone wanting to get on board and experience a wave of web3 technology being used in the physical world.
