Qatar Airways flies into the Metaverse
Qatar Airways today entered the brave new world of the Metaverse.
It is launching QVerse, a virtual reality experience for visitors to the airline’s website.
Visitors can now virtually tour the Premium Check-in area at Hamad International Airport and cabin interiors using their own personal electronic devices.
Qatar Air says it is the first global airline to introduce a MetaHuman cabin crew offering a digital interactive experience.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “It is exciting to embrace a technology that enables all travel enthusiasts to enjoy a unique immersive experience.”
It was developed using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, a real-time 3D creation tool, and MetaHuman Creator, a cloud-based app for creating high-fidelity digital humans.
Qatar Airways introduce a high-fidelity 3D human model named ‘Sama’.
‘Sama’ offers an interactive virtual journey, presenting the features in both the Business and Economy Class cabins through a narrated script.
