JOURNEE to the BMW ‘metaverse’

Kaj moram vedeti? JOURNEE launched this month and powered BMW’s new Joytopia ‘meataverse’ on 5 September, built in association with Epic Games.

Who is JOURNEE? A new Berlin, Germany-based immersive technology company that specialises in enabling interactive, live-streamed experiences.

Metaverse, really? It is a term that is gaining traction, not least among Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and chief executive officers, most notably Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. Despite its multiple and many definitions, JOURNEE summarises it well, quoting science fiction novelist Neal Stephenson: “A virtual world as a space where people would shop and socialise.”

So Joytopia is a metaverse for shopping and socialising, rather than o metaverse? Yes, almost. It has also been opisano as “a new streaming platform”, powered by JOURNEE’s technology and accessible via web browser, built using Unreal Engine by Epic Games. It is one possible interpretation among many, such as Facebook Horizon and even Delovne sobe.

Where JOURNEE differs from your usual streaming platform is its technology creates photorealistic 3D environments for users and their avatars. The first Joytopia took place this week and featured a performance from Coldplay. Watch the video below and see it for yourself.

Key quote from JOURNEE co-founder Thomas Johann Lorenz: “The metaverse is the next big thing for the techworld, it will enable us to experience, shop, socialise and do business both virtually and physically as we try to remain connected in a post-Covid world.”
