What opportunities do Museums have by existing in the Metaverse? Museums in the Metaverse, including XR/AR/VR, have been defying and redefining traditional museums by exploring new boundaries which may only occur and are unique as a result of being in the Metaverse. Using immersive Game Design, Collaborative World-Building, Wearables, Non-Player Characters (NPCs), NFTs, Cultivating Collectors of 3D Assets, and explorations leading towards true Interpolation. Ultimately, these opportunities that are unique to the Metaverse are increasing new pathways to explore engagement, participation, belonging, well-being, and Social Justice with museum audiences in the Metaverse. The Panelists will share examples of opportunities unique to the Metaverse and their impact on their museum communities in and out of the Metaverse.

Shopping in the virtual world is still in its early days. Virtual showrooms and Virtual product experiences on the other hand have gradually evolved to a level where consumers can get a realistic shopping experience, even on the Web. Metadome.ai is building a unique Metaverse experience where Auto and Retail brands can host their products and create immersive shopping journeys for their customers. Our experiences empower users to create virtual avatars and have the maximum degree of freedom to interact, configure and play with the virtual world via virtual test drive and other gamification modules. A seamless user journey, with highly optimised load times and programmatic compression, helps us to load 3D content as fast as 2D content, across all platforms and devices.
