The announcement that a metaverse game service using artificial intelligence (AI) will be deployed on LG Electronics TV is attracting attention.

American AI game startup Oshoman announced in a press release on the 1st (local time) that it has teamed up with Orbit to create AI multiplayer games for LG Electronics TVs.

Orbit is one of the companies that supply content to LG Electronics’ smart TVs, and has teamed up with Oshoman for game services. To take advantage of LG Electronics’ popularity, they put the phrase “LG Electronics TV” in the press release.

To this, the hot technology of generative AI and metaverse was added, which was enough to attract the attention of foreign media. Venture Beat, a US technology media outlet, expressed it as “part of LG’s plan to make the metaverse more accessible to consumers by utilizing Oshoman’s customized AI network to provide a metaverse-like experience on TV.”

In fact, in Oshoman’s application, users can create and play their own multiplayer metaverse with prompts, such as image-generating AI. “We are very excited to be able to do this right on the TV,” said Oshoman CEO Negar Shaghaji. “All you need to enjoy our game is a text prompt.”

Orbit announced on the 15th of last month that it will build the world’s best technology platform that supports the metaverse using cloud technology, starting with LG Electronics TV.

LG Electronics is in a position that it has not been separately delivered. “It is true that Orbit and LG Electronics signed a contract, but it is difficult to confirm all the fact that partners have individually signed content contracts,” said Na Joo-young, head of LG Electronics’ public relations team.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics participated in ‘KBIS 2023’ held in Las Vegas, USA from the 31st to the 2nd of last month, and is introducing super-premium built-in ‘Signature Kitchen Suite’ and ‘UP Appliances’.
