Telangana to launch space-tech framework on metaverse

Telangana government will unveil its space-tech framework through a metaverse platform on April 18. The blockchain technology led metaverse platform is created by Hyderabad-based technology firm Gamitronics.

The announcement will be made on the platform — PartyNite — at a SpaceShip walk through event, the company said in a statement.

“PartyNite is a Metaverse platform which is a seamless combination of the physical and the virtual world. It is certainly the next level internet experience and a very immersive one at that,” Rajat Ojha, CEO – Gamitronics said.

According to him, one can have easy virtual access to the whole event not just as a viewer but also as an experience of being present live. That is the kind of user experience we are trying to create for the government representatives and the audiences who join in. 

“I believe a spaceship setting is the best place to talk about Space-Tech policy. It is an absolute honour to host the government and ISRO,” he added.

The Space-Tech policy will serve as a launchpad for the state to move into a higher orbit and facilitate its emergence as a commercial hub for all space-related products and services. The policy will focus on promoting domestic production of launch vehicles, satellite systems and subsystems, ground equipment manufacturing and other facilities.

According to the statement, S Somnath, chairman of ISRO and KT Rama Rao, IT and Industries Minister of Telangana will be present at the launch to interact with the audience in the metaverse. The event will also feature virtual avatars of the government and civil body representatives who will be announcing and interacting on the platform. 

Two spaceships are being designed for the event. The Audience Spaceship will allow real-time chair selection and limited interaction with the dignitaries while they will be able to view the new policy guidelines, the users can click their pictures as well.
