Minverso, the first mining metaverse in the world, integrated powerful experts in the mining area as advisors, in order to contribute to its development and continue to improve the company. This new human contribution serves as a guide to respond to industry problems, addressing key issues related to technological transformation.

The new people in charge of advising Minverso are Nancy Pérez, director of the National Mining Company (ENAMI), director of Innova Chile CORFO and former manager of Excellence in Projects of the National Copper Corporation (CODELCO); and Marcos Lima, former executive president of CODELCO Chile, who from their expertise are committed to the metaverse as a tool that sets precedents.

“There are two headlines that have struck me as to their meaning: 'The era of artificial intelligence has begun' and in 'The Economist,' 'The metaverse is on the way.' I have interacted with solutions implemented in Minverso and the amount of technological resources to generate training spaces for mining operators left me really impressed. The projections are tremendous”, comments Nancy Pérez.

"I hope that the deployment of these technologies will be of more equitable benefits for society, we put people at the center of the solutions that are implemented and we learn to know them and understand their benefits and limits," he concludes.

For his part, Marcos Lima supports the metaverse as a new version of the internet, stating that "Mining must get on it to continue showing that it is at the forefront in terms of technology adoption", where he also highlights its contributions in different industries. . “This is just starting, it is not for nothing that The Economist magazine includes the metaverse among the ten trends to watch during 2023”.

“Chile cannot continue without committing to the new technological tools. If a global mining provider is interested in developing a metaversal environment from Chile, it is showing us a path. These developments are not the heritage of advanced countries, as various unicorns made in Chile have shown, but it means believing in ourselves”, he concludes.

Minverso enhances mining training by simulating real scenarios of the tasks in the metaverse, where the user is immersed and interacts with the environment in order to reduce risks and enhance the speed and retention of workers' knowledge.

The founder and CTO of Minverso, Rodrigo González, exposes the relevance of these advisors both for Minverso and for the generation of a culture without fear of change, which uses technology for the benefit of society.

“Their experience helps us match the technological solution of the metaverse with the real problems of the industry,” he says. “They give us a practical drop in the sense of understanding the cultural component, resistance to change, the implementation of technology, processes and methodology. This strengthens our solution and gives it a more human and technical perspective regarding what we propose to improve productivity and job security”.

Metaverso Ltda. is the Chilean start-up created in 2015 that houses Minverso and other metaverses aimed at various fields, including Nodoverso, its closest project focused on the area of ​​education.

In Santiago, the executive director of Expomin, Francisco Sotomayor, and Cristián Sanhueza, general director of Metaverso Ltda. -Minverso's parent company-, signed an agreement to incorporate the metaverso platform in the mining meeting.

Hand in hand with Minverso, the first mining metaverse in the world, those who attend the Expomin 2023 international fair and congress between April 24 and 27 will be able to access virtual reality glasses that will allow them to “live” the experience of being at a site mining.

The main mining fair in Latin America will offer its visitors an immersive reality tour in its 17th version, thanks to the commitment made by the Chilean start-up Minverso, the first mining metaverse in the world, which will provide virtual reality glasses to visitors to the event, which will take place between April 24 and 27, at the new Parque Fisa fairgrounds in Pudahuel.

The idea is that the participants can "live" the experience of being in a mining operation, learn about the machinery and processes of working in a deposit, just as Minverso has been doing in a personalized way with various clients since its launch at the end of 2021. Renowned national and foreign companies, such as Codelco and FLS Smidth, are already part of the ecosystem created by this national start-up and its metaversal realities.

"With Minverso we contribute to a digital transformation in a demanding industry such as mining, a tool that is already generating unprecedented changes in the industry and in the entire world," said Rodrigo González, founder and CTO of the company, who recalled that "our The main challenge, when we started with this project almost two years ago, was how to avoid the risks that mining activity entails, but knowing and experimenting with the use of machinery, and thus we created the first mining metaverse in the world”.

Meanwhile, the executive director of Expomim 2023, Francisco Sotomayor, highlighted that "in this new version, where we will have 40 innovative startups that seek to improve production processes in mining, we found it interesting that there is also virtual reality that allows us to explore spaces virtual 3D where you can socialize, learn and collaborate. An example of this is what Minverso will present to us”.

The institution opted to provide its clients with the most complex scenarios of mining operations without risking the worker, considering that recent studies confirm that the use of this technology quadruples the speed of learning in relation to traditional education, and even higher in relation to teaching through video calls or virtual classrooms.

Minverso's mother company is Metaverso Ltda., a Chilean start-up created in 2015, which houses metaverses aimed at various areas, such as education and culture. For its work in mining, Metaverso Ltda. has received multiple recognitions, including the 2022 Attitude Award, from the NTT Data Foundation, and an award, also last year, from Metawards held in Spain. Likewise, its CTO, Rodrigo González, was included in the list of 100 young leaders 2021, prepared by the newspaper El Mercurio and the Adolfo Ibáñez University.

The brand, belonging to Metaverso Ltda, a Chilean startup that creates personalized metaverses, created a virtual assistant for the immersive experience, where the user can consult specific information without having to leave the metaverse, in real time and through voice.

Chat GPT, a prototype artificial intelligence chatbot trained through texts available on the Internet to answer questions and generate text autonomously, has caused a stir worldwide in recent months, forcing us to reflect on the power of intelligence. artificial to change the way we relate to our environment, a scenario in which the different industries are not left out.

Although there is still a permanent debate around this new technology, knowing how to use its benefits to contribute to the development of the industry is an imperative that calls for urgent technological adaptation.

For this reason, Minverso, the first mining metaverse in the world -belonging to Metaverso Ltda, a Chilean startup that creates personalized metaverses-, integrated GPT Chat into its platform, providing the possibility of having a virtual assistant during the immersive experience. In this way, the user can consult specific information within the metaverse, in real time and through voice, where a robot interprets the information it receives through Chat GPT to answer their queries.

Specifically in mining, this integration allows for more complete and productive learning in metaversal training, as well as a first-rate service when immersing yourself in showrooms. However, the benefits of the metaverse-ChatGPT union cut across all industries.

“Our integration of GPT Chat into the metaverse encompasses all of the technology integration. Nowadays, artificial intelligence is also part of future developments of the metaverse”, comments the founder and CEO of Metaverso Ltda. Rodrigo González. “It's a world that starts now and expands expectations to improve the user experience in the metaverse,” he concludes.

Metaverso Ltda. is in the process of developing new integrations of artificial intelligence to metaverses of different industries.
