Epic Games and The Lego Group will partner together to create a metaverse designed for boys and girls. The two companies intend to develop an immersive and engaging digital experience allowing children of all ages to interact with the platform.
As with the metaverse proposed by Meta, the parent company of Facebook, we still don’t know the details of this new immersive digital experience, but it seems that the two companies will develop the potential of the game in a virtual space, always in complete safety. .
As the metaverse evolves, it changes the way people meet, play, work, learn, or interact in a virtual 3D world. Here, virtual reality and augmented reality technologies have a lot to offer.
What will the Epic and Lego metaverse look like?
To understand a bit the metaverse focused on the little ones, we must remember that in 2020 Epic Games acquired the company SuperAwesome, a pioneer company in the development of technologies that allow children to interact with the digital world, always for the less 16 years old. years of age.
the metaverse Facebook, for its part, would focus on a broader audience where people of all ages would have a place, but without focusing on the specific experiences that underage children may have.
Lego and Epic Games have agreed to apply safe methodologies in the future metaverse to protect children’s right to play by making safety and well-being a priority.
In the official statement of the two companies, it is commented that the vision of this metaverse will consist of additional tools that will provide control to children and adults, so that certain actions can be supervised or accessed with prior consent.
When will the Epic and Lego Metaverse release?
We are in the initial phase of the project, now that the announcement of the collaboration between the two companies has been made public. Thus, there is no specific date of availability, as is the case with Facebook’s metaverse and other companies.
The reason it’s being discussed so early is that companies can come together and collaborate not just on performance, but also on legislation and a number of other fundamental aspects of service.
So while we may see various elements of the metaverse come to life in the next few years, we are still a long way from seeing a coexisting metaverse network capable of connecting the entire universe in a virtual world.
