Metacube is committed to developing the underlying engine technology for metaverse 3D creation based on the user publishing platform UGC and the AI publishing platform AIGC. It collaborates  with the graphics engine company Grainworld Technology and the chip company Pnoflex to create the world's first metacube engine based on dynamic neural chips through virtual mapping. Based on the three core technologies of high-precision real-time reconstruction, fully automatic real-time deformation and end-side real-time interaction, the metacube engine focuses on the next-generation consumer-grade USD 3D format, innovatively integrating industry resources, adopting a co-build and co-creation approach, and jointly developing a most simplified UGC platform through the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering and the School of Design to incubate Shanghai Jiao Tong University's metaverse -- Ling Jing Space-time.
