Heller says that Hyperspace is taking away the barriers to entry of the NFT and metaverse space. You can mint the NFT right out of our app, and then send it to an NFT marketplace.” I could stick my finger up and have my sneaker spinning on my finger like a basketball. You can send it immediately to your socials and create cool content through the app.

Heller explains, “Once you have this digital asset inside your wallet, you can immediately throw it on your feet in augmented reality.

From here, you can do a number of things. Now you have the digital asset inside your wallet. It’s a web app that launches when you enter the park. You scan your RFID band, and the digital sneaker is exported to your parks app. The moment that you stop talking to the sneaker, the digital asset locks. As long as you’re speaking to the sneaker, the design is changing in real time in this hologram, right in front of your eyes.” Taking your NFT with you As you speak to this sneaker, that sneaker’s design starts morphing and changing in front of you. You could tell this sneaker anything – your hopes, your dreams, you could sing a song, you could tell it your phone number, who you have a crush on, whatever. There is an AI that we that we developed that prompts you to speak to the sneakers. That sneaker’s design is linked to 60 biomarkers and the human voice. There is a white floating sneaker rotating around you in motion. “In the middle of the design district, you walk into a holographic pod. And they can make other digital assets, then take them to metaverse worlds.” Customers can create digital wearables akin to video game skins. We are bringing it to a mass market audience in a very high volume. Says Heller, “We will have an NFT production studio. There will be 38 experiences through the entire park. They spend the most in the whole world and are number one in social media use in the world.” Dubai has a huge tourist market – 17 million tourists visited in 2019. But Dubai Mall is like a pillar of society. If I open this in a mall in LA, maybe they’ll close there in a few years because retail is trending down. Heller said that the importance of physical retail is still massive in the UAE. We take away all of the complicated elements and confusing elements of blockchain, NFT, and the metaverse.” IRL meets the metaverse “You can create avatars, you can create pieces of digital fashion, memes and artworks and pieces of design. Heller says that the park is designed to enhance your digital identity. And there will be high-end digital fashion, where customers can create NFTs of shoes and clothes and take them with them as NFTs. There will be areas with holographic supercars. The parks will have ‘experience zones’ that will include surrealist playgrounds and immersive neighborhoods, some even reminiscent of Bladerunner’s Chinatown. It will be called the ‘House of Hype’ – and will be a whopping 100,000 sq. The first outlet will open at Wafi Mall this year, which will be a 40,000 sq. And upload fashion items to their digital wardrobe. They can try on NFT fashion items on human-scale AR mirrors, skeletally tracked to customers. They can design, buy, and trade wearables and skins physically purchased in the park. As they have these experiences, they can record and share them on their social media profiles.įor example, customers will be able to birth and mint 1:1 human scale avatars in holographic tanks. Attendees can play games, explore immersive worlds, attend events, and shop. Inside it, customers can interact with NFTs, the Metaverse and with blockchain technology in a simplified and uncomplicated way. The first HyperSpace park will be built in a mall in Dubai. And, it will convert them to the idea of the metaverse. They say it will allow punters to have physical experiences that are engaging. It is being marketed as a physical gate to the metaverse. HyperSpace is the world’s first blockchain-enabled and extended reality (XR) attraction.
