Animoca Brands Japan co-founder Kyoya Okazawa stated: “Looking ahead, X.R. technology will expand the possibilities of actual space, and the value of all urban areas, such as buildings’ atriums and parks, will improve with the inclusion of virtual counterparts.
Incorporating media and entertainment elements into these areas will be conceivable. They will develop new business prospects by connecting these digital twins to the worldwide Web3 network of over 400 companies. Additionally, they will use material from our IP partners.
The CEO of Psychic V.R. Lab, Masahiro Yamaguchi, said: “Using the investment from Animoca Brands, a pioneer in the Web3 ecosystem, they are planning to expedite the establishment of the “Real Metaverse” with our real metaverse platform STYLY.
They are sure that as a movement of world creation in the annals of humanity, the development of technology in the X.R. / Web3 sector will significantly alter the makeup of contemporary society and how individuals live their lives.
With the help of partner businesses and portfolio firms like Psychic VR Lab, Animoca Brands Japan advances the purpose of Animoca Brands.
