Diwali, the festival of lights, is around the corner. We all have seen so many events celebrated in various metaverses worldwide and wondered why big festivals like Diwali are not celebrated there. However, cultural nuances are paramount to any technology, and a homegrown Indian metaverse brand is perfectly poised to host such an event.
Finally, we have the World’s First Diwali on Metaverse! The celebration will happen on AltWorld — India’s own Social Metaverse platform, between the 22nd and 24th of October.
People can join and experience the festival in an exciting new way with Diwali-themed decorations and various activities to sparkle the festive vibe. People can create 3D Avatars that look like them and dress up in ethnic clothing. They can also burst crackers with their friends & family, all virtually in an eco-friendly way.
What is the AltWorld?
AltWorld is a platform for users to play and create immersive 3D social experiences across genres. It is building a social-gaming Metaverse that hosts casual 3D experiences created by developers or users.
AltWorld recently hosted its 1st event property, Fan Jam — A “Meet & Greet” event line with some of India’s biggest gaming influencers. Excited fans who follow these influencers on platforms such as YouTube & Instagram interacted directly with these influencers on the AltWorld app. Around 10,000 fans joined the platform to meet their favourite gamers, and a staggering 2L+ people witnessed the event on YouTube.
Subham Boundia, Co-founder at AltWorld, says “A strong component of user experience in any industry is the culture connect of the target audience. A virtual Diwali experience inside metaverse is our attempt to bring an Indian phenomenon into the wave of 3D content consumption for socialising in virtual worlds.”
