Asian Tech Press (Dec 22) -- The first Chinese metaverse app Xirang, released by Chinese search engine giant Baidu Inc (BIDU: NASDAQ GS), was formally opened for targeted internal testing on Tuesday.

And users can enter the Xiyan space to experience it in advance with an invitation code.

Baidu said that on December 27, Xirang will be open to all users, when 2021 Baidu Create, the company's annual AI developer conference, will be held in Xirang, and it will be the first large meeting held in the metaverse in China.

After getting the invitation code to enter the Xirang metaverse space, ATP found that the interface was still rudimentary and few participants could be seen, even rather inactive. And there are still many bugs in the use of the app.

People related to Baidu said that it is now part of their internal testing, and they are repairing some of the problems at the test.
