Virtual Universe
What is Virtual Universe?
Virtual Universe (VU)
VU is a next generation, epic game in Virtual Reality. It's our version of the holodeck: driving experiences that inspire and excite. It's a dynamic, artificial intelligence-driven world, powered by exciting storylines without end.
VU is a parallel universe where players can explore, experience, create & share, together.
LivingVR™
Immersion in Virtual Reality demands a graphic fidelity and interactive realism that goes far beyond today's videogames and experiences.
That's why we are pioneering LivingVR™ -- a form of Virtual Reality that leverages technologies such as Affective Computing (AC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Blockchain to deliver a level of immersion and engagement as never before.
Technology
VU Leverages multiple technologies to create an entirely new class of Virtual Reality experience.

Strengths
- A strong team with a verifiable and endorsed members and good size. A diverse and relevant skill pool represented
- Good looking demo pictures of the game
- The proposed token model seems to work well to incentivize the community and external developers to participate in the game environment development
- The roadmap steps look realistic compared to the previous development steps and the size of the team
- The project has quite an extensive network with financial, marketing and industry development partners
- A lot of open smart contract related content available for p2p review on github
Potential Concerns
- Project financial information (total valuation etc) not very clearly presented
- Quite a lot of competition in the field of virtual world games, from projects such as Decentraland, Terra Virtua, The Deep, RecRoom, Sansar & CRChat
- Very little community outreach compared to the current initial valuation
