Albert Kim and BT’s Innovation Martlesham Discuss the “Real-World Metaverse”

This week, our CEO Albert Kim was the guest speaker at Innovation Martlesham’s July Breakfast Networking Webinar Event, in association with TechEast. Watch the webinar recording below.



TwinWorld, a real-world metaverse platform over the 5G MEC


During the presentation, Albert gave an overview of TwinWorld, available now for the HoloLens 2, and discussed how the real-world metaverse will revolutionize our daily lives.


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.”


From using an avatar or hologram copy of yourself to communicate, to joining together with your friends to decorate an entire city, to traveling the world from the comfort of your own living room, TwinWorld uses the emerging power of this technology to give everyone a platform to create, share ideas and connect with others in the metaverse.


“We want our users to find new life beyond reality. We want our users to learn something, study, work, communicate and relax inside of their own mixed reality world. The most important thing is that you create your own world and share it with other people.” - Albert Kim

Our goal with TwinWorld is to empower users to create their own content using an array of our 3D capture technology and develop their own experiences to share with their friends in TwinWorld.


Albert Kim also gave a preview of our company’s upcoming projects, including an educational metaverse (metaversity) in partnership with Busan Metropolitan City, an invisible zoo at PetWorld Theme Park in Osan, Korea, and an aquarium experience at Glòries Mall in Barcelona.
