Qatar Airways has entered the metaverse by launching QVerse, a novel virtual reality experience for visitors to its website.

Targets still stand

Qatar Airways could return to Cardiff this year

Users can virtually tour and navigate the airline’s premium check-in area at Hamad airport and the cabin interior of the carrier’s aircraft.

The national carrier of Qatar is also the first airline to introduce a "MetaHuman" cabin crew, offering a digital interactive customer experience.


The feature was developed using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, a real-time 3D creation tool, and MetaHuman Creator, a cloud-based app for creating "high-fidelity" digital humans.

The "MetaHuman" cabin crew features a digitally-created 3D human model named Sama – whose name is of Arabic origin and translates to “sky”.
