Qin: Awakening, an XR immersive exploration experience, opened in Shanghai on Thursday, taking visitors on a virtual journey back to the Qin Dynasty (221-207BC).
It's one of several top-level metaverse projects in Shanghai as the city develops its metaverse industry to boost digital innovation and consumption. Shanghai will launch 10 such culture and tourism projects this year as the "Shanghai format" for metaverse development, city officials said.
The Qin: Awakening is one of several metaverse projects planned for this year.
Visitors, wearing Pico virtual reality headsets, will embark on a journey of discovery to encounter a new Qin Dynasty world, with Terracotta Army groups and mysterious caves and ancient tombs to explore in a combination of modern technology and ancient Chinese culture.
More than 10,000 people attended the trial operation in June. Thursday was its official opening, with an English service available and enriched content, organizers said.
A Qin: Awakening pop-up event was also launched in the Shanghai Film Art Center, which is decorated with Terracotta models. Users can pick up free gifts after purchasing related tickets or sharing pop-up information on social media.
People wear VR headsets to start their virtual tour.
