As soon as you enter the 'Kaiyuan Realm' Metaverse Experience Hall, the world's first Metaverse login portal commercial product 'National 'Cheng No. 1' is quite eye-catching. In this product, which covers an area of only 3 square meters, digital players wearing a headset can experience a virtual oasis world by running and walking in the room.
It is understood that this is also the first official public appearance of the product in China since the 'Guocheng No. 1' conference in May this year. In an interview with a 21st Century Business Herald reporter, Guo Cheng, founder and CEO of STEPVR, pointed out that compared with VR headsets and all-in-one machines that can only achieve visual and auditory restoration on the market, 'Guocheng No. 1' brings visual, The 'five senses' experience of hearing, touch, smell and vestibular sensation is close to 100% real immersion.
