Emirates Airlines is bringing the future of blockchain and virtual reality to Dubai's Expo 2020. The airline has announced that they will be converting their pavilion into a Web3, NFTs project center for all things crypto-related!
Emirates Airlines is the UAE's largest carrier. It has announced the launch of its own non-tradable tokens (NFTs) to help improve revenue and customer engagement.
The airline also revealed plans to transform its pavilion at Expo 2020 in Dubai into a Web3, NFTs, and Metaverse project hub.
"Expo 2020 Dubai is set to be a transformative event, with the Expo Centre turning into an innovation hub. Visitors will have access not only exhibits but also workshops and events throughout this pavilion's grounds as well! It will be place where the airline's metaverse and NFT projects will be developed."
Emirates Airlines is at the cutting edge of aviation innovation. The airline is the first to use web virtual reality on its Emirates app and website. This allowed people to have an immersive 3D experience and see his cabin.
Potential customers can use this technology to find available seats and reserve their preferred products online. Before checking in, passengers can also explore their seats using the 3D seat map.
In addition, the airline became the first to have a VR app in its Oculus store. Users fly in a realistic environment on Emirates A380s and the Boeing 777-300ER Gamechanger.
Users can explore the cockpit, "turn on" the shower in the Shower spa, and "take" items from the In-car lounge using this app.
Given its openness to innovation, it is not surprising that it has adopted cutting-edge technologies to further improve its services. We'll look at how NFTs and Web3 technology can be used.
