COLOPL Inc. Holds Its First Company-Wide General Meeting in the Metaverse

Known for titles like Shironeko Project and Quiz RPG: The World of Mystic Wiz, COLOPL Inc. held its company-wide general meeting, "Kickoff & Awards," in a metaverse space.
Its group company, 360Channel, Inc., independently developed the event's metaverse system, WEBmetaverse, which features ultra-low-latency live streaming of under 0.2 seconds and proximity-limited voice chat.

Approximately 750 people participated in COLOPL Inc.'s company-wide general meeting, including full-time employees, associates, contract workers, and part-time staff.
Upon entering the metaverse space, participants transformed into cat avatars from the title, Meow Meow Travel Acres.

Executives, including the President and CEO, delivered speeches on a special stage, which also hosted award presentations for outstanding teams and individuals.
Seeing everyone appear as cat created a surreal sight while fostering a strong sense of unity.
The comment section beside the stage buzzed with activity.

The event concluded with a Coin Mini-Game.
Participants who collected the most coins scattered across the virtual space received luxury prizes from the company.
The competition showcased the lively excitement expected from a game developer.

While corporate events like this typically involve renting out a hotel venue and gathering everyone together, COLOPL Inc. used its proprietary system to pull off an event infused with entertainment elements.
Participants shared positive feedback such as, "It was fun because even remote workers were able to share a sense of spatial presence," and "Online streams can sometimes feel one-way, but holding it in the web metaverse made it easy to post comments, and it felt great to experience participating alongside all the other cats (employees)!" This event serves as a great model for effective metaverse utilization.

360Channel, Inc. operates its metaverse service, WEBmetaverse, as a high-quality platform that requires no app installation.
The WEBmetaverse Official Website also features a demo that anyone can try out, so be sure to check it out.
