What’s metaverse and how does it work?

Well, as far as the definition is concerned, Metaverse is a virtual-reality space where users can interact with a computer-generated environment. The organisers, with the help of technology experts Metaform and XP&DLAND and Spatial, will let people have a Durga Puja pandal darshan on a 3D platform.
The platform will be made in the pandal form and will allow devotees from all over the globe to enter the universe and experience the pujo. So even if people won’t be able to enjoy the celebrations physically, they can still witness the grandeur from anywhere in the world. They can also do pandal hopping from the comforts of their homes.

The organisers have planned everything and have centres around 3D recreations. People can walk around, talk to others and also click pictures. Not only this, users can make a meta-realistic avatar of themselves and can access everything via smartphones or tablets as well.

As of now, four puja pandals in Kolkata will have this facility, namely Ahiritola Sarbojanin, Deshapriya Park, Ballygunge Cultural and Tala Prattay.
