In 2007, Japan’s virtual idol Hatsune Miku pioneered the UGC model in the virtual idol industry, leading to the rise of more virtual idols by 2012 with organizations like Hololive and PLAVE adopting the PGC model using motion capture and real-time rendering.

MEET48, a new virtual idol platform, integrates AI, Metaverse, and Web3 technologies to encourage user participation and creativity, disrupting traditional virtual idols with a focus on fan engagement and cohesion.

MEET48 leverages AI-generated content and a self-developed large model to train virtual humans in music and dance, offering AI tools for easy creation and demonstrating a significant advantage in data resources compared to existing models.

With over 24,000 UGC videos uploaded and a growing fan-driven community, MEET48 empowers fans to become ‘idol creators’ and ‘partners’ in the virtual idol ecosystem, bridging the gap between virtual and real idol experiences.

MEET48’s Web3 platform, with a transparent voting system and NFT features, is on track for mass adoption, leveraging its connection to SNH48’s large fan base to potentially dominate the Web3 market with upcoming global events and expansion to Japan.
