360Channel raised its corporate mission as "Bring new technology closer and make people amazed." Since the dawn of the 'VR era' in 2016, we launched a VR video streaming service and have released various products across the XR spectrum.
In the XR market, new devices emerge one after another. However, when devices are released first, the selection of compatible software is often limited, users might be prevented from fully enjoying those devices. For developers, supporting various devices and platforms individually poses significant challenges in terms of continuous operation and maintenance.
In 2022, 360Channel released its proprietary metaverse system called "WEBmetaverse", which was designed to be universally accessible via browsers on smartphones, PCs, and VR devices. This innovative design significantly reduced development and operational costs. Furthermore, while specialized for use via web browsers, it achieves high graphic quality and usability comparable to dedicated apps.
With the recent introduction of new devices such as Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, and PICO 4, an environment that enables to offer more immersive experiences has been established. 360Channel instantly embarked on developing support for these new devices.
Please enjoy the WEBmetaverse, accessible worldwide, from any device, and without downloading apps. Dive into this seamless and immersive virtual experience, easily available from any device.
WEBmetaverse offers its services through browsers, eliminating the need for app market applications and reviews. Normally, each app market has its own set of review standards, requiring specific adjustments, which can increase development time and man-hour. With our solution, the same program operates across platforms, allowing us to successfully reduce development efforts by more than half. Additionally, as long as there is a standard network environment, it can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Furthermore, there are no platform usage fees even when offering paid services, as the service is delivered through web browsers. WEBmetaverse is available as an OEM service, which can be customized according to corporate needs. It also allows for flexible adaptation to new device trials and service offerings.
