SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DoubleMe is
proud to announce the launch of HoloVerse, a proof of concept
project in partnership with Telefónica, Deutsche Telekom, TIM, and
MobiledgeX.
HoloVerse is a worldwide project in which global mobile
operators will test the optimal 5G Telco Edge Cloud network
infrastructure for the seamless deployment of various services
using the metaverse.
TwinWorld, the world's first "real-world" metaverse platform
created by DoubleMe, has been selected as the testbed platform for
the HoloVerse project.
The metaverse, a combination of the prefix "meta" (meaning
beyond) and "universe", is a collective virtual shared space. Using
mixed reality technology, TwinWorld layers the metaverse on top of
the real world, hence the "real-world metaverse."
For the metaverse to exist, the platform will require creating
and transmitting large digital contents in real time using 5G and
Edge computing technologies, indicating the need for
interoperability over heterogeneous 5G edge clouds.
This project will involve Telefónica in Spain, Deutsche Telekom in Germany, and TIM in Italy, as part of the Telco Edge Cloud
consortium under the Global Mobile Operators Association (GSMA). As
a key member of the GSMA's Operator Platform Group, MobiledgeX will
be providing their Edgecloud 3.0 platform to enable 5G MEC resource
management cloud services.
TwinWorld was selected for HoloVerse due to the proprietary
technology developed by its creator company, DoubleMe. A leading
volumetric capture company focused on bringing the physical and
virtual worlds together, DoubleMe pushes the boundaries of what's
possible with 3D technology and creates simple, no-code tools to
allow anyone to create in mixed reality, in real time.
DoubleMe will integrate HoloPort, a holographic video
conferencing software, and World Engine, a real-time mapping system
that tracks the location of mixed reality contents, into the
HoloVerse project. Both of these technologies require
large-capacity and low-latency network infrastructure, and once the
initial tests are complete, all companies in the project will
jointly discover and commercialize various use cases for the
real-world metaverse.
David Moro, head of Telefónica's
network service platforms, said, "Using the TwinWorld platform, we
can test the possibility of a real-world metaverse in 5G telco edge
cloud. We will be able to provide a communication service using
this concept."
Albert Kim, CEO of DoubleMe said,
"Through this project, we plan to discover a variety of
TwinWorld-based real-world metaverse services, such as education,
tourism, and entertainment, and grow our vision on a global
scale."
HoloVerse tests will continue until the end of this year.
Since 2019, DoubleMe has collaborated with 15 global mobile
carrier partners such as Telefónica, Deutsche Telecom, Singtel,
British Telecom, and SK Telecom for the deployment of TwinWorld's
global 5G-based real-world metaverse service. Currently, DoubleMe
operates the Hologram Room, where you can experience TwinWorld in
nine major cities worldwide, including Singapore, Moscow, London, and Seoul, with domestic and overseas mobile
carrier partners.
