On February 1, 2022, a meeting dedicated to the presentation of the concept of a project under the working name #Metatyumen was held in the space for the collective work “Boiling -Tyumen Point”, the purpose of which is the creation of Tyumen representative offices in new and unique virtual spaces - metavselnaya. Representatives of the authorities, business, public sector and creative communities of Tyumen were participants in the discussion.

The chief speaker of the event, the chairman of the Tyumen Regional Council of the Vreemi and the head of the Alliance of the Socially oriented NGOs of the Tyumen Region, Mikhail Mikhailovich Meltser, told the assembled that the concept of the #Metatyumen appeared during the work session of Rurbancreativelab, which took place in Tyumen from January 26 to 28. The proposed decision was highly appreciated by the experts of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives who modified the session.

The #metatyumen project is based on work in a digital space based on Web 3.0 technology, which allows you to combine physically existing spaces with virtual, supplemented reality. The main WEB 3.0 environment will be the so -called “metavsel” these are permanent virtual spaces in which people can interact with each other and with digital objects through their avatars, using virtual reality technologies. Interaction can occur using various technological devices, both with the help of traditional personal computers and with virtual and augmented reality headset. Every day, the metavselnaya is becoming an increasingly popular tool not only to communicate, consumption of content, but also to business promotion, investment.

According to the ideologists of the project #Metatyumen, our city as a supplier of unique goods, services and activities will be able to be a demanded player in the new metavselnaya economy. “If Tyumen will be at the head of the transition of Russian cities and other interests to Metaverse, and we will master the first, we will be able to provide service and educational services in this area in the future,” Mikhail Meltser emphasized the advantages of the new concept.

At the same time, he noted that the development of virtual Internet space should be carried out in close cooperation with the state and its authorized bodies, which will ensure the starting and equal access to the development of the meta-combat power of all potential participants, will represent and protect the brand of the region, and also ensure the moderation of content and control over the process. Therefore, the most appropriate way of mastering virtual spaces to the creators of the project is to create the creation of the official embassies of Tyumen in various metavselnits.
