Qatar Airways flies into the Metaverse

Friday, 25 Apr, 2022 0

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.
