The first "pigeon metaverse" in the world was recently revealed, and it can allow people to live life as virtual birds. The bizarre idea is also known as the "Hatoverse," and it is available for download as an app in Japan.
As indicated in a report from The Sun, an individual may be wondering why anyone would want to live his life as a pigeon, although the flying creature is quite famous in Japan. The pigeon metaverse, in particular, comes courtesy of Tori Games.

The SoraNews reported that the pigeon verse was announced by a man wearing a pigeon mask during the 2022 Hatoverse Conference. Hato, specifically, means pigeon in Japanese.
A video promoting the pigeon-verse showcases the game like a video game where the player embodies a pigeon. He can communicate with other humans who have turned into pigeons.

Pigeon metaverse is a game that lets the player experience the life of a pigeon.
How the 'Pigeon Metaverse' Game Works
The video makes it appear like an individual does most things a pigeon is doing, such as "cooing and flying around, a similar The World News specifies.
There is no text chat or voice chat to make the game more realistic, just like in the other games. Players will need to interpret the "coos" or other virtual pigeons to initiate some conversation.
All the pigeons look alike, and there is no purchase or game plan an individual should follow. The main activities appear to be sitting on a seesaw or finding three virtual chickens wandering around the "pigeon-verse." According to gaming reports, whether this app will become available or accessible in more nations or come to Android remains unclear.
A Different Game
Strangely, taking the game one level ahead, there are no-in-game purchases, differences, and avatars in the appearances, leveling up scores, and even game objectives of any kind, of pigeons.
A Sora News 24 report said that the Pigeon Gentleman joked that he even felt bored of his creation within two minutes as there was not much of anything to do except fluff the feathers, mingle with other birds, although maybe that is precisely what the modern worker needs as a form of treatment escapism.
As a special advantage, the game was developed to include a see-saw that one can jump up and down on, with plausible plans for a side and swing.
In this game, there are three chickens planted somewhere in the virtual world for one to search out if he desires, although what happens when one finds them stays to be seen.
Metaverse Technology
There's a need for technology leaders to identify, study and follow emerging technologies to help industry leaders develop new products, transform their business, or control risks.
The Metaverse is a technology that affects driving strategic business innovations needed to be proactively considered. According to VP Analyst at Gartner Marty Resnick, metaverse will allow people to duplicate or improve their physical activities.
This could occur by transporting or extending physical activities to a virtual world or converting the physical one. Even though the goal of a Metaverse is to integrate many of the activities, there are currently numerous individual Metaverses with limited functionality.
