Creating an Innovative Show Experience in the Metaverse
In recent years, a range of virtual reality products, including Apple’s first Mixed Reality (MR) Vision Pro, were introduced, underlying a growing attention and demand for a “glimpse into the future”. Sing!Meta is a virtual reality version of Sing!China, breaking the rules bounded by a seasonal programme, or location and time limitations imposed on contestants, becoming an all-season entertainment platform. Participants can now immerse themselves in the virtual stage for audition, performance, and engage directly with other viewers and contestants.
