Samsung Unveils New Metaverse World ‘My House,’ Attracts Over 4 Million Visits In Less Than 1 Month

After Samsung’s official release of its own metaverse service My House on Jan. 6, the company has exemplified huge success on the platform, attracting more than 4 million visitors in less than a month.

A collaboration with Naver’s 3D avatar platform Zepeto, My House was launched at CES 2022, an annual tech show, where the South Korean multinational electronics corporation elaborated on its plans to innovate on some of their technology products and also draw in more younger consumers.

Soon, Samsung users will be able to decorate and personalize virtual homes from furniture, appliances, and other electronic products. 

The metaverse is an online, 3D universe that comprises multiple different virtual spaces. Technology experts deem this as the “future of the internet,” with a total market value of nearly $15 trillion as of November 2021.

Era Of Immersive Digital Experience

Samsung is explicit in its plans to scale up its partnerships with other industries to catch up with the fast momentum of cryptocurrencies and the metaverse.

“With the success of My House as our foothold, we are looking to engage more aggressively with millennials and Generation Z by optimizing customers’ metaverse experience,” Young-hee Lee, head of Samsung’s Global Marketing Center, said.

In Decentraland, the tech giant has already opened a virtual version of its flagship 837 stores located at 837 Washington Street in New York City’s Meatpacking District, Manhattan. Meanwhile, the virtual store – dubbed Samsung 837X – will be available only for a limited time.

The virtual store will give users the experience of digital adventures through “Connectivity Theater and Sustainability Forest” and a mixed reality live dance party hosted by DJ Gamma Vibes.

“This is one of the largest brand land takeovers in the history of Decentraland,” Samsung said in a statement shared with The Block on Thursday.
