China Mobile's Migu builds metaverse headquarters in Xiamen

China Mobile is making a major push into the metaverse, as its digital content subsidiary Migu Co Ltd is setting up metaverse headquarters in Xiamen, Fujian province.

Migu created a strategic cooperation agreement with the Xiamen government on building a metaverse, a tech buzzword that promises a digital world created by technology such as virtual reality and augmented reality.

By leveraging its advantages in 5G and VR and AR technologies, Migu will cooperate with China Mobile's Fujian branch to build Xiamen into a benchmark for metaverse construction, and help make it a "high-quality, high-value, modern and international" city with digital intelligence.

More efforts will be made to implement key application scenarios such as building a metaverse version of Gulangyu Island, and accelerating the research on digital governance of mateverse, Migu said.
