Technology advances at a dizzying pace. So much so that sometimes we are not able to be up to date in what has to do with new technologies., the internet universe and the trends that apply around it. The metaverse is a step beyond our new way of life attached to the digital world. Now and for the first time, we will be able to see the first museum in a metaverse dedicated to diversity, in an ethical environment and with values.
It is true that many times, new trends create spaces where certain rules do not yet exist. And this can be a negative aspect, since there may be times when greed denies the ethical. But after those first steps of uncertainty, projects like the one we teach at Creativos emerge.. The DRDA agency has created a unique space, in which it combines art and culture with an inclusive and educational perspective.
In addition, all this is accompanied by a futuristic look, full of life and color., to entertain the viewers. Opening as if it were a conventional museum, adding presentations and live music. Something that has been very well received by the participants. This one more step that many companies take is really a very important step in building a metaverse with a positive experience.
What is a Metaverse?
For all those who do not know what a metaverse is about, we are going to give some easy keys before explaining what this museum consists of. The metaverse is the name given to the digital universe where many companies are working due to the growing current in the way we play and communicate online. Many video games are already included with what is called "open world". This means that we have more and more activities to do within the game.
Where before there was only an average game time of three to four hours, in this year 2023, the games range from an eighteen to twenty hour playability. A considerable amount, which does not go unnoticed due to the amount of information and possibilities that a game contains. These characteristics, ranging from the maximum personalization of the person to the environment and activities, make it possible for many people to spend a lot of time "within this universe."
Thus, daily activities such as driving or being employed by a company to achieve objectives in the game become more and more real. It is because of that it is important to build diverse spaces within this world, so that we have a broad perspective and let's not turn this tool into a lethal weapon of misinformation and unhealthy activities. This is where this museum was born, which we can find so interesting.
What is a museum of this type for and why is it important?
To understand why such a museum is important, we can contrast it with something as popular as GTA V.. This popular video game already has an impressive digital universe. Many young and not so young people spend time inside it doing many different activities. But like everyone who knows this game, we know that it contains some really explicit and dangerous content if it is not used well.
That is why, within a metaverse, spaces must be created, just as in the physical world, that fight against such a monochrome universe. From the point of view of violence, explicit content and lack of control in terms of ethics and morality. since in the game (because it seems that the damage is not real) you can skip all moral norms. And this does not mean that video games make you violent, but we do need a contrast and a much broader education.
A museum that has an inclusive, diverse and responsible perspective is a necessary project to enhance what we are talking about.. This is also the view of the company itself that has created this "MetaMuseum" and that tries to get closer to a majority public that can enjoy it in all its splendor.
In an increasingly technological world, it is the responsibility of professionals at the service of brands to develop experiences that promote diversity and values, to create an ethical, safe and accessible virtual environment that puts technology at the service of people.
museum layout
Unlike a traditional museum, the positive thing about this metamuseum is that you don't have the architectural limitations that you have in the physical world.. That is why as soon as you enter you can realize it. The museum has walls that divide the spaces irregularly. In addition, at the beginning it is made as layers of color, which can be seen throughout the space, with which the inclusion of which we spoke at the beginning is expressed.
Other walls are made of colored glass and in the shape of a wave. It even has figures in 3D and suspended in the air that will leave you impressed to see it. Really an original, modern and futuristic design. Very well linked with the aesthetics they want to show and with the behavior of the digital world and technology. Perhaps there is still a lot to develop, so that it becomes more realistic and we can see it naturally, but let's remember that it is the first museum dedicated to diversity in the world.
How to enter the Museum to see it?
To enter and see everything that we have described in this article, it is very simple. The first thing to do is go to Spatial.io. We can directly see how it tells us to create our own avatar and give it a name. Choose the name you want and the appearance of your avatar. But if what you prefer is to use your own, this space gives you the possibility in "more options" to link a Google, Metamask, Apple or Microsoft account where you can add our already created avatar.
On the left side we have the controls with which you can drive your avatar throughout the museum. On the right side we have an interactive chat with which to talk with the people who are inside and share impressions. Enter now and have fun!
