Products and vision
Metaversum was known for developing and operating the 3D mirror world Twinity[4] as well as the former urban style sharing social network Yumondo.[5]
The vision behind the main product Twinity[6] had been to build realistic replicas of cities in 3D.[7] Berlin, Singapore, London, Miami and New York City were launched in Twinity. Twinity members can create personal avatars, explore real cities virtually, move into a 3D home, or chat with a friend.
Metaversum was financially provided by international venture capitalists[8] and Balderton Capital, formerly Benchmark Capital Europe,[9] was one of the major investors behind Metaversum.[10] Metaversum also previously received funding from the Interactive Digital Media Programme Office hosted at the Media Development Authority of Singapore.[11]
