LINE Metaverse for elderly people

With the popularization of smartphones, SNS, which allows easy message exchange, has become popular. On the other hand, a metaverse has attracted attention recently. In the metaverse, participants interact with each other through avatars in a virtual space. Therefore, if we can show participants the existing SNS space as the metaverse, we can provide participants with more intuitive use cases. This manner is beneficial for elderly people who are unfamiliar with using smartphones. In this paper, we propose LINE metaverse. LINE is the most popular messaging application in Japan. The LINE metaverse is characterized by replacing the bot mechanism used for marketing using SNS with a metaverse agent. In the LINE metaverse, elderly people can exchange messages via avatars on the metaverse.
