Paying homage to the reggae icon Bob Marley, a virtual recreation of the iconic Bob Marley statue in Kingston, Jamaica, is set to debut in the metaverse. This groundbreaking project, a collaboration between Exedos and Soulbank, promises to transport fans and enthusiasts alike into a digital realm where the spirit of Bob Marley comes alive in stunning detail.
As part of the project, Exedos worked with Soulbank to create a dynamic teaser trailer, with the Bob Marley statue set deep in the Jamaican countryside in a large pond under clear skies protected by the majestic Lion of Judah that is a symbol of the Rastafarian religion.
The virtual recreation faithfully captures the essence of the original Bob Marley statue located in Kingston, celebrating the legendary musician’s life and contributions to reggae music and global culture. Through cutting-edge virtual reality technology, viewers will have the opportunity to explore and interact with the digital representation of the statue, experiencing the vibrancy and cultural significance of Bob Marley’s legacy in an immersive digital environment.
