Drone footage and the metaverse create a new world of tourism experiences!
The fusion of drones and the metaverse brings new tourism experiences and contributes to regional revitalization
Vma plus Inc. (Head office: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Toru Tsuda), which plans and directs content for the Metaverse Web3, is pleased to announce that it has signed a business partnership agreement with DRONE/47 (Head office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Norio Suzuki), which introduces Japan's tourist spots through drone footage.
Drone footage and the metaverse bring new experiences and excitement
Vma plus Co., Ltd. and DRONE47 have been deepening their collaboration for some time, such as releasing "Metaverse x Drone ~A World with Tokyo Tower~", a drone footage of Tokyo Tower as live streaming content at the "Meta Festival 2023 Summer Battle" event held simultaneously at Tokyo Tower and the Metaverse venue in June 2023.
Through this business partnership, Vma plus Inc. will utilize drone footage within its metaverse platform, "Vma plus Station," to develop a new world of experiences.
Users can explore difficult-to-access locations or high-altitude tourist sites through drone footage from within a virtual space. In addition, it has become possible for users to share their travel experiences, discover new tourist spots, and create a forum for exchanging travel information.
By combining technology, we aim to provide visual experiences that are difficult to achieve in reality, bringing users a variety of emotions and experiences, and thereby creating opportunities for them to visit tourist destinations.
How will we contribute to regional revitalization?
It is expected that the combination of drone footage and the metaverse will become a new marketing method that will convey the appeal of local areas to more people.
Users who enter the virtual space will feel as if they are there, and will be able to experience the local scenery and culture, and experience the food and atmosphere of the region, even from a remote location. This new approach will further enhance the excitement of visiting the area in person, and by gaining a deeper understanding of the region's merits and charms, it will provide more opportunities to spread the word about it to family, friends, and on social media.
This new marketing method, born from the combination of technology, can be used by local governments and those aiming to revitalize their local areas as a new tool to more widely communicate the attractions of their local areas and attract more people to visit.
By formally entering into this business partnership, we will expand the new possibilities of drone footage and the metaverse. Please look forward to our future joint ventures.
What is DRONE/47?
By introducing Japan's tourist spots through drone footage, you can experience the attractions that cannot be fully conveyed through photographs. If you actually visit the places, you will be even more impressed.
We hope to encourage many people to visit Japan's tourist spots, experience the splendor of the region and the warmth of the people, and make them want to visit again, which will contribute to the local community. Our mission is to deliver excitement to people all over the world.
What is "Vma plus Station"?
The Metaverse is a 3D space that can be easily accessed from a browser without the need to download a dedicated app. In the Metaverse, you can control your own avatar and enjoy shopping and live streaming while communicating with users around the world using EC, voice calls, chat, and translation functions.
