Hi Guys,
with all the talk of the coming Metaverse it got me wondering if Shapespark is interested in allowing it’s users the ability to turn the scenes we create into digital assets that could have value in the metaverse using existing tools we all know and love from Shapespark already. For example have the ability for people being able to purchase these assets whether for marketing, renting a digital space for commerce to take place, host various events at a digital venue you own for a fee to people interested in doing so.
Currently, the minutes model for 3D Meetings make sense for Shapespark especially for formal meeetings, i get it but if I wanted people to come shop at a virtual store which is linked to an ecommerce shopify store for example thats open 24/7 and give people a more immersive experience, the problem immediately would be that the amount of online traffic you attract into that virtual store even with self-hosting would require the number of participant minutes one would need to be astronomical so that idea quickly gets crushed.
I’m aware that platforms such as OVR and DECENTRALAND are completely different to what Shapespark does because there’s a gaming component and Crypto currency as a form of exchange to it and it’s decentralized, but it was just a thought and I’m curious what the team and all the users in this forum think about the Metaverse and what role we could each play in this new digital economy if we had any interest participating in as 3D Artists and Designers/Architects .
