Oorbit, which operates a metaverse platform, has teamed up with LG Electronics to bring interoperable virtual worlds to LG TVs. Through this partnership Earbit and LG will bring together immersive games and experiences and make it easy for consumers to interact in the metaverse.
LG’s endorsement of the metaverse is worth noting, as there are many metaverse skeptics out there. The metaverse is getting a boost at CES 2023 where LG made the announcement as many companies are talking about it and it’s the top topic identified by PR Newswire for CES press releases.
“We’ve been working on the hardware, network and software layers to create the metaverse for almost a decade — it just wasn’t called the metaverse back then,” said Pooya Koosha, CTO and co-founder of Oorbit, in a statement. “Our proprietary technology is the connective tissue that connects virtual worlds and makes it easy for developers and brands to bring their experiences into the metaverse. Scaling up our technology for millions of LG TV customers is the next step in making the metaverse accessible to everyone.”
Using cloud streaming technology, Oorbit users can enjoy super high-fidelity interconnected virtual worlds and experiences, including virtual concerts on Pixelynx’s Elynxir and AI generative multiplayer games in Auxworld by Auxuman.
“At LG, we pride ourselves on driving innovation and providing consumers with new, personalized experiences that make it easy for them to interact,” said Jung Sung-hyun, head of the content services division at LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company, in a statement. statement. “And we’re excited to now achieve that again thanks to Oorbit’s vision to provide open access to metaverse experiences in one place on our TVs.”
Users also maintain a lasting digital identity that they carry from experience to experience. That makes achievements and purchases portable between worlds.
“LG has the vision and reach to help Oorbit make the metaverse more accessible to more people through their Smart TVs,” Ash Koosha, CEO of Oorbit, said in a statement. “Imagine playing with a card you bought for one game and taking that same item to a concert where it becomes your backstage pass. Translatable digital property is possible with virtual worlds connected via Oorbit. Our goal is for users to access limitless streams of entertaining content through the devices they already own. Our partnership with LG will dramatically accelerate our journey towards that goal.”
Oorbit is building the world’s leading technology platform that makes many metaverse experiences available in one place. Users travel between interoperable virtual worlds with a single identity and digital property to discover games, entertainment, creative spaces and more.
Oorbit’s platform makes it easy for developers and brands to bring their digital worlds and experiences to more people on screens they already own. Content hosted on Oorbit’s platform is interoperable and linked as a web of interactive content and virtual worlds, and the process of bringing new content from developers, brands and publishers to the metaverse is virtually seamless.
