Decoration and social relations are also passed to the metaverse. At least, this is what LG Electronics and the real-time 3D content creation and exploitation platform, Unity, intend. The two have aligned to develop innovative meta-homes with digital humans.
Can you imagine being able to walk around a friend’s house without having to leave yours? Or change the furniture in the living room or bedroom without even lifting a finger? These are just some of the goals of meta-homes in their most playful version, although they can also help professional sectors such as decoration and renovations.
What are meta-households?
The concept is very simple and as a background, of course, all the options that the metaverse has prepared and that still, to this day, is yet to be fully exploited. This new challenge from LG Electronics and Unity will allow you to create a digital copy of your own personal spaces, offices included of course. Allowing users to spend time in a dynamic and virtual version of this space.
In this sense, the LG products installed in the user’s real home will be available within the meta-homes. So any adjustments the user makes to the settings, features or functions of their LG devices within the digital environment will be reflected in the real world. Definitely: an innovative and comfortable control method but also a fun and new experience for the client within the metaverse.
Besides, the users they will be able to personalize their digital room by rearranging the furniture and appliances. And not only that, but also meet other meta-home users around the world. These users will be avatars or digital humans that will be able to show their help in the use of needing help with an LG appliance.
How are meta-households possible?
Thanks to the integration of LG’s speech recognition, natural language processing and contextual learning technologies, and the Unity engine -which is used in various sectors. These digital assistants will be able to communicate with almost natural language and facial expression.
“Meta-homes with digital humans will leverage LG’s advanced technologies and deep understanding of consumers and the home environment, as well as Unity’s unrivaled capabilities in RT3D and computer graphics, to deliver true innovation in the consumer experience.” customer,” says Dr. Kim Byoung-hoon, CTO and Executive Vice President of LG Electronics.
