Virtual socializing, also known as online socializing or e-socializing, is the practice of interacting with other people using electronic communication technologies, such as social networking sites, instant messaging, chat rooms, video conferencing, and online gaming. Virtual socializing has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the rise of the internet and mobile devices, which have made it easier than ever to connect with people from all over the world. The AI and mixed reality startup illuni is announcing the global beta launch of Moii, a virtual, avatar-based social connection platform. virtual socializing

Offering low-pressure social interactions in an immersive 3D world, Moii offers a novel, engaging way for younger people to meet others with common interests and make new friends virtually.

“The global beta launch of Moii is a dream come true,” commented Byung-Hwa Park, CEO of illuni. “In just a short time, we’ve already seen people from over 30 countries matching and enjoying conversations with like-minded people from around the world. Moii is not just an app; it’s a community that facilitates connections between similar people by transcending social inhibitions and geographic borders.”

Around the world, people are becoming increasingly connected online and through mobile devices, while busy schedules mean less time and energy for younger people to meet new friends. Moii is harnessing these trends and virtually connecting people with similar interests from around the world for a fun, low-pressure way to socialize.

Moii allows users to express themselves through personalized avatars in a vibrant 3D virtual world, and its interest-based matching system connects users based on shared interests and profile parameters. This format fosters organic and meaningful interactions while reducing social pressure from meeting new people in person. Going a step further, engaging elements like mini-games and conversation prompts on the platform make interactions more enjoyable while facilitating deeper connections.

Based on its design, Moii is ideal for:

• People with certain hobbies or interests in common should connect and have conversations about these topics regularly
• Younger people who want to connect and tell their stories to others in a low-pressure environment
• Making new friends in other countries and across cultures, including language exchange partnerships

Since its beta version release in November, Moii has seen users from around the world join and make new friends.

Tips for successful virtual socializing

Here are a few tips for successful virtual socializing:

• Be yourself: Don’t try to pretend to be someone you’re not just because you’re online.
• Be respectful: Be polite and considerate of others, even if you don’t know them well.
• Be patient: It may take some time to build relationships online. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make friends right away.
