Smobler , the leading metaverse architect headquartered in Singapore, is proud to announce its participation in the much-anticipated Digital for Life Festival 2023, organized by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA). Smobler will be joining alongside over 120 partners, ranging from tech industry giants such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon, to prominent Singaporean brands including DBS, Singtel and Mediacorp.

The Digital for Life Festival is an annual event seeking to provide an interactive platform that enhances digital skills of all Singaporeans. With a focus on promoting a digitally inclusive society, the festival aims to simplify and disseminate crucial information on online safety, security and emerging technologies through three Festival Activity Zones: Learn, Explore and Play a Part.

Nestled within the Explore Zone, Smobler’s playground is abuzz with “live” interactions and blockchain-designed games specially curated to bring Singaporeans from all ages and walks of life together.

All visitors can explore the highest peaks of Mount Everest in the popular 3VEREST game or be inspired by the life and legacy of Singapore’s first Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew. The metaverse game experience is inspired by the birth centennial of the late statesman and based on the artwork by y/x who is also the CEO of popular lifestyle and hospitality chain, Spa Esprit Group.

Participants will get to learn more about the Open Metaverse from Sebastien Borget, the Co-Founder and COO of The Sandbox , a leading decentralized gaming virtual world. Through a series of video installations, Singaporeans can also explore how to co-create a Metaverse for Good with Smobler’s Co-Founder and CEO Loretta Chen,

“Smobler is proud to be a part of a digitally inclusive Singapore. The pandemic has moved the needle towards greater technology adoption so all Singaporeans, regardless of age and backgrounds, should be given the opportunity to embrace digital learning as a lifelong pursuit. We are excited to contribute to this meaningful campaign and even more excited to be able to play it forward!”

The Digital for Life Festival takes place across multiple heartland locations – Kampung Admiralty, Heartbeat@Bedok and Toa Payoh Hub. It is held over three weekends starting on October 28 to help foster a lifelong embrace of digital technology and the Metaverse.

On November 4, the President of Singapore Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, will meet and greet residents at Heartbeat@Bedok while Deputy Prime Minister Mr Heng Swee Keat, will visit Smobler in the Explore Zone on November 5.
