Metaverse or virtual dating is a nascent concept in India, and Mingout hopes to create a dating revolution and make it accessible, fun and immersive.
Metaverse meetings — or virtual meetings — have gained traction especially during the pandemic, when physical gatherings have been restricted and the virtual world has offered a safer and efficient option to socialize.
Mingout conducted over 1,000 virtual dates over the past year, but the metaverse integration can provide some of the most immersive and interactive experiences for this generation’s bachelors and bachelorettes.
The metaverse combines several technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, machine learning, blockchain technology and artificial intelligence.
