Investors snap up metaverse real estate in virtual land boom

(NYTIMES) Justin Bieber performed at a live concert last month, but the show wasn't in a stadium or arena. Like recent performances from Ariana Grande, the Weeknd and Travis Scott, this concert was held in the metaverse, the online world that stretches the corners of the Internet into immersive, four-dimensional experiences. Fans from all over the globe watched Bieber's avatar sing songs from his hit album Justice. Investors were watching, too. Preparing for a digital land boom that appears just months away, they are snapping up concert venues, shopping malls and other properties in the metaverse. Interest in this digital universe skyrocketed in October when Mr Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would be known as Meta, an effort to capitalise on the digital frontier. The global market for goods and services in the metaverse will soon be worth US$1 trillion (S$1.37 trillion), according to digital currency investor Grayscale. The metaverse comprises multiple digital realms. Each is like a 3D virtual city where avatars live, work and play. But real estate investing in the metaverse still is highly speculative, and no one knows for sure whether this boom is the next big thing or t...

Watch search-and-rescue missions from home as RSAF open house goes fully virtual for first time

SINGAPORE - The Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF) open house is going fully online this year for the first time. People can now watch search-and-rescue missions and examine aircraft up close in the comfort of their homes. The online open house site, launched on Friday (Dec 3), hosts a 3D virtual exhibition of more than 25 aircraft and ground-based air defence systems, online games and a series of videos that show RSAF pilots in action. This is very different from open houses of years past when people could see and be awed by RSAF assets in person, but organisers said the constraints of Covid-19 meant they started planning for the likelihood of an online open house about a year ago. They are hoping that it will give people a fresh perspective. "You can spin the assets around, zoom in and zoom out, look at them from different angles - we try to make it a bit more interactive," said Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Chua, head of the virtual open house. "In the past, it would also have been difficult to get so many aircraft together for a physical exhibition, but we can do this online. People can click on each of them to see the specifications," he added. The open house is on till Dec...

Legend Of Mir creator tastes real money after 20 years

(BLOOMBERG) - When a twenty-something Park Kwan Ho created the Legend Of Mir more than two decades ago, he was driven mostly by his love for online gaming. Now at 48, the one-time game hobbyist is finally starting to taste the financial success that has eluded him since he founded Wemade in 2000, thanks to the release of Mir's fourth iteration in August. Based on blockchain technology, Mir 4 allows online players to convert in-game assets into tradeable crypto coins, while their avatars hunt and battle in the virtual world. While this genre is termed play-to-earn, many users also spend money to avoid hours of "grinding" to gain the resources needed to start earning crypto. Mir, based on quests that players have to accomplish in a mythical world of monsters and warriors, has drawn millions of users, who log in from countries from Belgium to Brazil and the Philippines. Shares of Wemade have surged almost 620 per cent this year, giving the company a market value of about US$3.9 billion (S$5.3 billion). Mr Park is among a growing crop of developers seeking to reshape an industry that is seeing massive wealth creation as the coronavirus pandemic fuels demand for online entertainment. Hi...

Will business travel be the same again?

elean
4 minutes

(REUTERS) - The unprecedented halt to air travel during the Covid-19 pandemic cut planet-warming emissions, saved companies billions of dollars in tickets, and benefited staff who can lose weeks of their lives on planes. As global travel picks up following vaccine roll-outs, some companies are reassessing how much flying their employees really need - and the answer is not nearly as much as they thought. The World Resources Institute (WRI), an environmental think-tank, said last year's switch to virtual working should spur firms to slash their business travel to help the world meet climate targets. Aviation is a major contributor to climate change, with the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions it produces contributing 2.5 per cent of total global CO2 emissions, and set to triple between 2015 and 2050. "If air travel were in 2018 a country, it would be the sixth largest (CO2) emitter in the world," said WRI behavioural scientist Mindy Hernandez. Deloitte's sustainability leader Kathy Alsegaf said: "It's not an easy sector to decarbonise. We're not going to innovate our way out of this. It's up to us to change our behaviour." She added that there had been "a seismic shift" in attitudes at h...

When virtual clothes are pricier than real ones

elean

(REUTERS) - People care what their avatars are wearing. When the virtual world Decentraland said users could make and sell their own clothing for avatars to wear on the site, Hiroto Kai stayed up all night designing Japanese-inspired garments. Selling virtual kimonos for around US$140 (S$190) each, he said he made US$15,000 to US$20,000 in just three weeks. While the idea of spending real money on clothing that does not physically exist is baffling to many, virtual possessions generate real sales in the "metaverse" - online environments where people can congregate, walk around, meet friends and play games. Digital artist and Japan-enthusiast Kai's real name is Noah. He's a 23-year-old living in New Hampshire. After making as much in those three weeks as he would earn in a year at his music store job, he quit to become a full-time designer. "It just took off," Kai said. "It was a new way to express yourself and it's walking art, that's what's so cool about it... When you have a piece of clothing, you can go to a party in it, you can dance in it, you can show off and it's a status symbol," he added. In Decentraland, clothing for avatars - known as "wearables" - can be bought and sold...
