Metaverse Developer ViLab Partners With Squid Game Special Effects Maker

ViLab Limited, a Hong Kong-based metaverse developer, today announced its partnership with Gulliver Studios, the effects creator behind Netflix's hit series Squid Game.

The company announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a technology that can be used to create virtual identities.

ViLab and Gulliver Studios will try to cooperate in three main areas. These were stated as developing three-dimensional (3-D) web and mobile applications, creating computer-generated images (CGI) in VILAB's BetterArena, and creating virtual idols.

BetterArena is known in the metadata database as VILAB's own space, which hosts events, including virtual concerts.

“One of VILAB's main goals has been to develop technology to create virtual identities that can be adopted across all metaverse platforms,” Ginny Q, one of VILAB's founders, said in a statement.

Since the company's inception, ViLab has been developing human-related virtual technologies for changing faces, lip syncing, and voice cloning.

Based in South Korea, Gulliver Studios has created visual effects for numerous films and television shows, including Squid Game, which is currently the most watched program in the world on Netflix. The visual effects company is expanding its research and development activities towards the field of virtual reality.

In addition, last month, the South Korean game developer Netmarble partnered with the Internet giant Kakao to launch a virtual K-pop girl group called MAVE, whose members will consist of artificial intelligence gamers.
