Inkverse Launches an Metaverse Karaoke- ZEGOCLOUD

People speak with each other through voice. But conversations are complete and meaningful when we can see each other’s gestures, postures, and facial expressions. This is not easy to happen in a two-dimensional virtual space hosted on the internet.

However, real-time communication significantly improved user engagement. Inke immersive Metaverse Karaoke is a great example. This is a Metaverse-based product launched on May 18, 2022. It constitutes an upgrade from online karaoke for an unparalleled user experience. ZEGOCLOUD-powered karaoke solutions helped build this exceptional app.

Inke Metaverse Karaoke Scenarios

1) Have fun in a metaverse karaoke room as a pretty avatar

The Inke app offers a metaverse-based luxurious karaoke room. The karaoke room looks huge from a 3-dimensional perspective. It won’t become crowded even if you put 20 people into it. There is a big theater-style screen, a few lounges, and a mini-stage with spotlights. You will be endowed with a pretty good-looking customizable avatar as a user. You will enjoy moving and dancing. Also, you will see many peer users like you; some even have similar appearances. Overall, the metaverse karaoke room makes you feel like you are just in a real karaoke room.

You can speak with and see your friends in an ordinary video chat room through real-time voice and video. However, compared with our real-world conversations, there is still something missing. Yes, 3D-spatial social interactions such as posture, gesture, and facial expressions are absent. Anyway, with 2D video pictures, an ordinary video chat room can only take us so far. Things are different in the Inke metaverse karaoke room. You can run or even chase with your cyber pals for fun and sit down on one of the lounges for a quick talk. You will feel that the audio follows real-world physical rules. For example, people’s voices will fade out when you move away, and you won’t hear them if you are far away enough.

3) Your avatar’s posture, gesture, and facial expression can be synchronized with your actual movements

You can do a lot of everyday actions like what you can do in the “real world.” You can make social interactions funnier when you speak with your cyber pals through real-time voice. Rich postures and gestures make a pleasant conversation. Currently, your avatar cannot be synced with you for facial expressions. According to Inke’s product iteration plan, its metaverse karaoke product will support avatar facial expression synchronization. Your avatar will be able to sync-ed with you for facial expressions. In fact, the system monitors the critical points on your face and your vocal signals.

4) Multiple perspectives allow you to see your cyber pals from different angles

Let’s see what you can do:

Explore the metaverse from various perspectives, looking at people from different angles, such as first-person and third-person perspectives.
Rotate your view up and down, and zoom in and out as you wish.
When someone is performing on the mini-stage, you can switch their view to a close-up perspective of the stage
Feel a sense of spatial freedom and would like to explore and
play and have lots of fun

5) Metaverse karaoke offers you the same experience as real-world karaoke

Inke’s metaverse karaoke is an upgraded version of a previous online karaoke product, like Kugou KTV. You can search and select songs. Karaoke has a rich music repository. You will therefore be able to find your favorite songs. Hot or trending songs are ranked and listed in a few category panels for your easy selection. Once you select a song, the song will be listed in a queue. Once your turn comes, the system will automatically guide your avatar onto the mini-stage. A panel will appear at the top-centric part of the screen, showing rolling lyrics of the current song. You can choose to sing along with an accompaniment of pure music or actual singing. Other users in the karaoke room can wave, show likes, or clap hands around the stage. It is precisely like what you can do in a real-world karaoke room.

The following infographic draws a concise outline of typical metaverse karaoke scenarios.

Immersive Metaverse User Experience

The true meaning of metaverse karaoke is that you can live a brand new life with an Avatar.

1) Real-world-like spatial freedom brings an authentic, immersive metaverse user experience

The metaverse karaoke endows you with the feeling of being alive in a brand new 3D spatial world. Many elements add together to create an authentic, immersive user experience. Among these: are spatial movements, gestures, facial expressions, 3D spatial voice, and proximity voice. You can read someone’s thoughts by looking at his or her facial expressions. The feeling is so immersive that you won’t help but stay longer than you planned!

Like many other youngsters, you may be afraid to socialize with first-time strangers. Why is it so? Perhaps you just don’t feel confident about your appearance. Or perhaps you don’t want to show your true identity in case you encounter acquaintances. Inke’s metaverse karaoke allows you to generate an avatar initially based on your appearance. Nevertheless, you can change your facial features.

You can customize it according to your taste. Your social fear will indeed vanish.

3) Metaverse karaoke brings you the sense of a superstar with spotlight, applause, and cheers

I assume that most of you are not celebrities or superstars. The Inke metaverse karaoke offers you a stage in a luxurious big room. You will earn applause and cheers in the spotlight if you are talented and good at singing. Otherwise, never mind; chances are neither of your cyber pals is a good singer. You will feel like a superstar surrounded by fans with applause, flowers, and cheers in the spotlight.
