HONG KONG, Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lion Group Holding Ltd.

Through this partnership, the two companies will jointly innovate and develop the Metaverse AI tool – "Cloud Production Platform", establishing a new form of digital market and establish a leading position in the construction and development of the Metaverse field.
Dawa Technology is one of China's largest communities for VR, AR, XR developers and content creators, that gathers veteran researchers, developers, creators and project operation teams. Committed to becoming the most important support platform of the world's Metaverse development, Dawa Technology has developed more than 100 virtual idols and owns several of the most advanced digital video studios in China, including Asia's largest indoor motion capture studio that allows XR shooting, which is equipped with the world's top Vicon motion-capture system and leading LED technology. Dawa Technology owns cutting-edge technology in areas that include virtual idols, VR, virtual production, digital twins and other virtual technologies, as well as digital avatars, real-time visual effects, and AI creation tools, which are all necessary advanced technologies and components for the construction of Metaverse AI.
Qi Lu, founder and chairman of Dawa Technology, commented, "The Metaverse AI tool will solve a series of pain points in the construction of the Metaverse field, making the construction of the virtual world faster and more convenient. The 1.0 version of the cloud production platform will have core functions such as virtual asset management, film production pipelines, business systems, social systems, online education, and collaborative development. This will provide professional and complete new era digital content production solutions for individual users, institutions, and enterprises who intend to accelerate their entry into the Metaverse ecosystem. This cooperation will effectively promote the development of related businesses by leveraging the strong platform strength of Lion Group. We intend to use the complementary advantages between both parties to achieve breakthroughs in the field of creation of the Metaverse, and embrace the future together."
Mr. Wang Chunning (Wilson), Chief Executive Officer of Lion commented, "Metaverse represents a large potential market for Lion. Our cooperation with Dawa Technology to develop the Metaverse AI tool represents an important step of our entry into the Metaverse field. The Metaverse AI tool is fundamental to the creation and continuous growth of the Metaverse field. We believe this reshaped virtual world of human cognition has strong practical guiding significance and commercial value. We believe the value of the Metaverse production platform will grow rapidly over time. Concurrently, developments in the field of blockchain technology and NFT will also play a key role in shaping the Metaverse. Earlier this year, we independently developed and operated the cross-chain high-expansion NFT one-stop trading platform Meta World, which was also one of the important layouts for the innovation and development of the Metaverse field. In the future, we intend to continue our efforts to develop future industries related to Metaverse."
