Jay Chou Invests in Ucan, Developing "3D Interactive Game Social Network"

Most people, when they think of Jay Chou, probably think of his music or his movies. But the dude is also into tech startups (his first was 31SMS), and his latest sounds pretty crazy. Apparently, the Taiwanese pop star has signed a contract with the Macau company Ucan and is backing its “3D interactive game social network.” Yeah, we don’t know what that means either.

The agreement makes Chou a shareholder in Ucan, and also names him the company’s worldwide cultural ambassador. Along with his money, Ucan gets to use Jay Chou’s image, voice, and name in their design and products for the game social network whatever it is they’re making.

Ucan also apparently plans to offer some kind of 3D online video service branded as a new kind of interactive media, but it’s not really clear what that will look like either. It’s supposed to be here but, as you can see, there’s nothing at that link, so I guess we’ll just have to wait.

Wait, and ponder what the heck a “3D interactive game social network” might be.
