In line with its actions in the XR field, the French Office supports the rise of this theme among its partners. As part of the Taiwan Creative Content Fest – whose discussions focused on the evolution of cultural content in the era of the metaverse – the post organized, in conjunction with TAICCA, a showcase of two VR experiences that were the subject of a co-production between France and Taiwan, The Starry Sand Beach (Lucid Realities Studio), co-directed by Huang Hsin-Chien – one of the most prominent Taiwanese VR creators, and Bedlam (mentioned above).
This showcase highlighted the dynamism of Franco-Taiwanese twitter database XR in the financing of international VR works, and to reflect on possible synergies between the French and Taiwanese XR ecosystems following the announcements by Epic and Meta. What are the prospects for Franco-Taiwanese cooperation on the metaverse? Whether in terms of industrial cooperation or content creation, many rapprochements are already underway. In terms of industrial cooperation, the President of HTC and the President of ACER were invited to the 5th attractiveness summit, "Choose France".
In terms of content creation, several projects are underway (creation of a broadcasting platform by Lucid Realities with funding of €270K from the Taiwanese Ministry of Economy; collaboration between Huang Hsin-Chien and composer Jean-Michel Jarre; "Notre Dame" project produced by Orange, the city of Paris and Emissive with the participation of HTC as a partner for the equipment). While it has bright prospects ahead of it, collaboration between France and Taiwan in the field of the metaverse also faces obstacles that go beyond the framework of bilateral cooperation.
