SK Telecom Co. is offering something new to users of its ifland Metaverse platform. Users can easily visit famous landmarks in Los Angeles and Seoul as the telecom firm recreated and added the N Seoul Tower and Hollywood signage in its virtual space.
Aside from the mentioned popular tourist spots, SK Telecom announced this week that its ifland Metaverse platform would also showcase other attractions that most people worldwide would like to visit in the real world.
As per The Korea Economic Daily, SK Telecom introduced sightseeing content so metaverse users can enjoy virtual tours that are very similar to reality. They can go to must-visit locations, including historical sites around Seoul.
People can go to the observation deck at N Seoul Tower, which sits on Mt. Namsan. They can also check out YTN broadcasting company’s outdoor studio and leave a padlock at the tower, which many local and foreign visitors do in the real world.
Avatars on SK Telecom’s ifland may also walk around the nearby Cheonggyecheon Stream and well-known hopping locations around Hongdae and Gangnam Stations. There is also a chance to go to Los Angeles and visit Mount Lee with the iconic Hollywood sign.
It was reported that the South Korean telecom firm created Mount Lee and the Gangnam area in cooperation with the Korean startup that specializes in 3D modeling and visualization, Yegaan Inc. The company was one of the participants in SK Telecom’s True Innovation startup acceleration program that was held last year.
SKT will continue to expand its tourist spots on ifland Metaverse. As of the Q3 of 2022, Aju Business Daily reported that ifland has more than 12.8 million users. SK Telecom has released ifland in 49 countries, and it supports English, Japanese, and Chinese languages.
