Continuing to spearhead technology firsts in the country and the region, Dialog Axiata PLC, has launched ‘Futureverse’ – Sri Lanka’s first fully immersive, interactive and experiential Metaverse where people can shop for Dialog products and services, socialise, attend events, and play games in one persistent virtual world.

Futureverse is an immersive and interactive virtual world where users can create their own custom avatars. This virtual world will enable visitors access to all Dialog products and services available at any Dialog Experience Centre, socialise with friends, watch movies, take part in workshops, visit exhibitions, and more. Powered by immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Extended Reality (XR), the Futureverse, from Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider, extends a seemingly borderless digital realm that delivers endless experiences and possibilities, where visitors can experience a unique virtual world filled with abstract landscapes and objects. Futureverse is a fun way to spend free time while interacting with friends virtually through voice or chat.

Group Chief Operating Officer Lasantha Theverapperuma said: “With the Metaverse being a part of web 3.0, the next evolutionary stage of the internet, we are pleased to introduce ‘Futureverse’, heralding a new virtual world which has the power to transform every aspect of our daily lives, including how we socialise, work and play. As the trusted digital companion of Sri Lankans, Dialog remains committed to pioneering innovations in the digital space to empower our people, industries, and the nation at-large, to drive inclusive growth.”
