Project: Client
ERGO Group AG
Objective
ERGO Group AG sought an innovative platform to make internal communication and collaboration significantly more vibrant, interactive, and flexible than conventional video conferences. The goal was to move meetings, workshops, and corporate events into an immersive, browser-based 3D environment that enables both spontaneous conversations and large-scale live events.
Solution
In close collaboration with the ERGO team, RAVE.SPACE developed the Metaverse Events platform. The virtual environment was designed as a futuristic RGI building, featuring a large auditorium, multiple conference rooms, and a public lounge.
The platform offers numerous features that elevate digital interaction to a new level:
Auditorium and conference rooms for live events, presentations, and workshops with integrated screen sharing
Webcam overlays above avatars to bring facial expressions and personal presence into virtual interactions
Public lounge with automatic voice chat that activates upon entering an area, allowing conversations to start naturally as they would in a real office corridor
Flexible interaction: participants can move freely within the space, form new discussion groups, and switch between different areas
Fully CMS-controlled content: all screen displays in the environment can be managed directly by ERGO Group AG and updated with current content at any time
Easy browser access: no additional software or downloads required
Added Value
With Metaverse Events, employees experience meetings that are far more interactive and proactive than traditional video calls. Instead of static video tiles, there is true freedom of movement and a variety of opportunities for informal exchange, which strengthens the sense of community and collaboration.
The platform not only replaces certain physical events but also offers an innovative alternative that saves costs while creating new experiential qualities. Large events and cross-location meetings can be conducted flexibly and sustainably.
Result
After a successful testing phase, Metaverse Events was rolled out company-wide. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Employees report more enjoyable meetings, higher engagement, and a noticeable improvement in team spirit.
Partnership Highlights
The project was implemented in close coordination with several ERGO Group AG departments, including IT, product development, HR, legal, and the innovation department. Special thanks go to Roman Stammes, Matthias Nawrocki, and Robert Heinrich for their visionary approach and excellent cooperation.
Outlook
The current version of Metaverse Events is only the beginning. Together with ERGO Group AG, the platform will be continuously expanded to include new features, spaces, and event formats, further enhancing the metaverse experience.
