UltraFuture, Nurien Reach For Digital Stars

Aug. 22, 2008 - PRLog -- Hong Kong: Nurien, the widely anticipated next-generation virtual world, is looking for one male and one female Hong Kong Star to step, sing or dance, into the future.  

Trendy, visually stunning and branded as the evolution of social networking, Nurien is a new 'superreal' virtual world. The look, feel and user experience in Nurien are far superior to SecondLife, the pioneering virtual world that received global attention and interest just a year or two ago. Nurien is more beautiful, more life-like and has more engaging activities. In short, Nurien creates a deep sense of affinity and connection with its community of users.

“The Nurien virtual world is a new space for social interaction,” said David Harris, President of forward-looking event and media company UltraFuture. ”Users can create one-of-a-kind, life-like avatars and interact with each other in dance competitions, quiz show games, fashion shows or just by chatting. Each user gets their own 'home' space, where they can host a blog, music and video sharing right on their walls. You can even design, buy or sell furniture or fashionable clothes. This is indeed the future of 3D social networking and virtual lifestyles. The adoption rate amongst global youth and young adults is expected to be very high.”

Nurien launches in South Korea this September; in Hong Kong and China this October, and in the US early next year. The Hong Kong stars selected by Nurien will have beautiful look-alike avatars created by Nurien's world-class team of animators. The fashions that the Avatars will wear has yet to be decided, but rumor has it that some high-profile brands are involved in discussions to showcase their latest styles. The HK Star Avatar's will also have their own 'Rooms' in the Nurien platform, where fans can go to learn about the star, download special release songs, share stories on a blog and more. The Star's themselves can make guest appearances from time to time, handing out virtual autographs and interacting directly with their biggest fans.

Nurien will showcase the virtual world at this years UltraFuture Expo December 10-13th, and then at the Asia Game Show, an event expecting over 500,000 gaming and online enthusiasts. Nurien and UltraFuture will invite the Hong Kong Stars to attend the events at press conferences, where they can 'play' with their own avatars live before fans.
