The metaverse, an interactive virtual platform that mirrors our physical world, is growing in popularity due to augmented and virtual reality advancements. An idea explored in movies like "Ready Player One" is becoming a reality.
Specifically, the metaverse allows users to work, play, and communicate with others in a virtual world. While users will have the opportunity to play games with friends, or even shop, they may also want to have a place to live. This scenario is where digital architecture and virtual real estate come into play.
Video games have already explored this. Games like "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" or "The Sims" allow users to purchase land and build homes on it. Additionally, some titles in "The Sims" franchise let users acquire properties for commercial use. However, the difference in the metaverse is that users will use real-world currency, and the digital properties can appreciate in value.
Savvy individuals, investors, and companies can maximize the metaverse's architectural and digital real estate possibilities. Read on for more information about these opportunities in the metaverse and how a freelance designer can help you capitalize on them.
Today, users can buy and own digital land using virtual money, known as cryptocurrency. Bitcoin and Etherium are examples of cryptocurrencies used for commerce in the metaverse.
Digital land ownership is made possible by the blockchain, a digital ledger that can show and track the ownership of real estate — and other items — in the metaverse. For example, a user may want to purchase land in The Sandbox, a virtual metaverse platform, and build a mansion. The individual would need to buy the land and could then get an architect to help them develop a personalized design. From there, they can work with a metaverse architectural designer to help them build out their concept on the land they purchased.
On the other hand, a business owner may want to create a virtual location for their brick and mortar store. They would likely follow similar steps to create a place to sell to customers. Digital real estate is proving to become a lucrative endeavor for some, as some plots of virtual land have gone for over four million in some cases.
Traditional architecture is not only limited to traditional homes and commercial building layouts. Building codes, environmental considerations, and even the laws of physics are not as much of a limiting factor. Buildings can be just as artistic or functional as you want them. If you want to create a virtual maze that defies gravity or an unconventional castle, you can as building limitations in the metaverse are not the same as those in the physical world. In addition, the unique metaverse structure can be minted as a unique NFT to showcase the authentic ownership of the property with the 3D design file (i.e., .fbx, .obj, .glb, .glTF files, etc.) provided by the digital architect.
