Saudi Arabia launches innovative metaverse platform

The Saudi Ministry of Culture has unveiled the world’s first national “metaverse” platform, powered by the cutting-edge Generative Media Intelligence (GMI) artificial intelligence system, the authority announced.

The innovative platform merges cultural richness with digital innovation, creating a dynamic digital realm where users can engage in a wide range of activities and attractions that mirror real-life experiences, such as the Founding Day celebrations.

The platform is designed to showcase a wealth of cultural attractions, including the History March, and sectors dedicated to music, art, history, culinary arts, and crafts. It also features mini-video games and a Performance Center that broadcasts live events, including the Foundation’s Day Beginning Symphony concert, directly on the Ministry’s metaverse platform.—Gulf news
