Enterprise training center appeared on Metaverse...SSG.com opens "SSG Town"

SSG.com announced on January 7 that it will open a virtual reality training center called "SSG Town" on the metaverse platform "Gather Town" and start introductory training for new employees in the first half of 2022.

Unlike "Zoom," a video conferencing platform, Gather Town can create its own characters like online games and travel around a certain space.

Like a real training center, SSG Town has an auditorium, educational space, game room, and terrace room, so it can make trainees experience a high sense of immersion.

Participants can enter a virtual conference room and talk to characters around them, give a lecture on the podium of the classroom, or play games together. It is getting popular as a service that can replace offline centers for visually giving the feeling of being gathered in a specific space.

In order to maximize physical interaction, SSG Town, a virtual training center, like a real training center, consists of an "auditorium," a "learning room," a "game room," and a "terrace room" to increase immersion.

A total of 100 people can enter the auditorium, the largest space, and stages and podiums are provided so that they can be used for training, seminars, and in-house events.

The learning room, an educational space, has arranged desks and chairs in groups of eight to optimize training and workshops for new employees so that members can communicate and learn effectively.

In addition, the game room is equipped with "Gamification" such as "OX Quiz," "Racing," and "Photo Zone" to capture both fun and educational effects, while the terrace room is decorated with a rooftop cafe feeling so that employees can rest freely and exchange such as "Online dinners."

Song Yu-ri, an SSG.com's talent development team, said, "We planned Metaverse Training Center in consideration of the non-face-to-face transition of in-house education and events due to strengthening social distancing. We expect to use various events and workshops in addition to introductory training."
