Vket Cloud is HIKKY's proprietary metaverse development engine that enables the creation of a "Web metaverse space" that can be accessed from a Web browser with a simple URL click.
The metaverse space created with Vket Cloud is platform-agnostic, allowing anyone, both individuals and corporations, to freely create their own ideas. Since its launch in April 2023, the service has already been used by more than 1,500 people.
The two newly added plans will make the use of the metaverse even more accessible and will be offered in a format more tailored to the needs of users.
Features of the ‘Business Plan’
The Business Plan provides features that support the creation of new business models utilizing the metaverse, such as two types of venue templates that allow users to immediately launch a Metaverse space without special knowledge and a function for making reservations for visits. In addition, a function for integration with an e-commerce site (Shopify) will be implemented by the end of 2023. This will enable low-cost entry into the metaverse business and expand the possibilities of using the metaverse for various purposes, such as shopping, business meetings, and conferences, besides holding events.
◆Commercial features available with Business Plan
・Template World
This function allows you to select a world template from two types, business meetings and gathering, and immediately launch the Metaverse space. Template worlds are equipped with a screen sharing function that allows you to replace images and videos in the world by yourself from the administration screen.

Features of the ‘Basic Plan’

You can create worlds in cooperation with your friends, interact with your friends, and hold events to build a community. The Basic Plan is offered at a reasonable monthly fee so that it can be used easily by many creators and private circles.

What is Vket Cloud?
Vket Cloud is HIKKY's proprietary "Web Metaverse Development Engine" that allows anyone to create and use their own unique metaverse.

Various plans are available to suit your needs, from the Free Plan, which allows you to easily create a Metaverse for free, to the Business Plan, which focuses on business use such as the management of a Metaverse store.
