The concert was the first in ENGAGE Link, which is divided into locations called Plazas, including Entertainment Plaza, Education Plaza, Creative Plaza and Central Plaza. The plazas offer access to the metaworlds of pioneering enterprise, educational and creative entities.
David Whelan, CEO, ENGAGE XR said: "While there have been music performances in the metaverse before, the Fatboy Slim concert took things to the next level with many different areas to explore, visuals and audio that enhanced attendees' senses making the event an almost hypnotic experience. The Fatboy Slim concert demonstrates the versatility and capabilities of VR and how corporations to creatives can build their own worlds within ENGAGE to be used for entertainment, business engagements and so much more. It also shows that VR concerts can be hugely successful, and in the future opens up a new revenue stream for us."
