You Can Now Visit Burj Khalifa – In The Metaverse!

A replicated digital twin of the world’s tallest building – Burj Khalifa – can now be seen in the metaverse. Cloud-based event management platform Eventcombo, the brain behind the innovation, claims that this experience is accessible with a regular device and a keyboard. This means that the users will not require headsets, gloves or any other VR hardware to watch the iconic skyscraper in the digital world. 

During their visit to the Burj Khalifa in the metaverse, individuals will be able to witness a 360-degree view of Dubai and roam around the building. As observed in the demonstration video, virtual avatars are seen walking around the different areas of the building, taking the elevators, walking around the corridors before entering the viewing deck, and offering replicated views of the city.

“While pandemic forced the world into isolation, it also led to advancement and accelerated adoption of the metaverse. Although digital has become the new normal, metaverse is facilitating physical and real-world interactions in digital spaces, to elevate experiences and bridge the real and virtual worlds,” said Eventcombo.

The move was made with an aim to become a pioneer in the immersive virtual world.
