China’s Meta Holdings Group has announced the launch of an AI-based virtual music and dance marketplace called HRDR. Developed by Meta Holdings Ltd. in collaboration with research and development centers in Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu, HRDR is a comprehensive multimodal AI big data model. It focuses on virtual digital human music, dance, and virtual social interactions. The release of HRDR is a significant milestone for China as it marks the country’s first vertical marketplace dedicated to these areas.
Meta Holdings Ltd. is the exclusive owner of HRDR and the accompanying digital toolkits, as well as the The Seine River Metaverse Buildor. These tools have been developed in the Meta48 Artificial Intelligence Lab and the Meta48 Digital Intelligent Human Lab. Over the past decade, Meta Holdings has collected a vast amount of data, totaling 500 terabytes, consisting of text, audio, and video. This data comes from the long-term operation of SNH48 GROUP, a prominent youth girl group in China.
With its considerable computing power, HRDR is set to play a crucial role in implementing and applying digital/virtual humans across various industries. These include music and virtual dance entertainment, next-generation games, virtual social interactions, and digital content creation. Furthermore, HRDR will provide essential technical support for implementing PGA and UGA, as well as PGC and UGC, to promote co-creation and co-development through the Metaverse project.
The concept and name of HRDR pay homage to significant milestones in China’s virtual companionship, music, dance, and entertainment industry. It combines titles such as Heartbeat Memories (1998), the first virtual companionship and romance game in China, along with O2Jam (2004) and Audition (2005), which were the first music and dance online games in the Chinese market. The name also references SNH48 GROUP, the first large-scale youth girl group in China, taking inspiration from the Seine River.
The founder of Meta Holding Ltd. and its leadership team are committed to advancing the fields of WEB3.0 and artificial intelligence. They aim to make new contributions to the future development of interactive entertainment and cultural industries. The Meta Metaverse, developed by Meta Holding, leverages WEB3.0 and AI big data modeling technology. It aims to transform classic cultural and entertainment products such as Heartbeat Memories, O2Jam, Audition, and SNH48 GROUP into an immersive interactive social metaverse in the form of WEB3.0. The product is expected to launch in China’s domestic market in the first quarter of 2024.
The release of HRDR marks a significant step forward in China’s virtual entertainment industry. With its advanced AI capabilities and extensive dataset, HRDR has the potential to revolutionize music, dance, and virtual social interactions. Its implementation across various sectors will enhance the user experience and open up new possibilities for digital content creation. The Meta Metaverse, powered by WEB3.0 and AI technology, promises to reshape the landscape of cultural and entertainment products, offering users a more immersive and interactive experience. As the project progresses, it will be interesting to see how HRDR and the Meta Metaverse contribute to the future of interactive entertainment and cultural industries in China and beyond.
