Meetkai’s limited edition NYC NFT is now available to all visitors to Times Square – Press Release Bitcoin News
press release
PRESS RELEASE. MeetKai Metaverse will be shown from July 11 to August 11 in New York City. The activation takes place in Times Square, turning the 7th Avenue and 47th Street Billboard into a portal that allows users to access a Metaverse Times Square with a simple scan of a QR code.
Once inside the MeetKai Metaverse world, users can discover a Pokemon Go-like experience where they can roam freely in a hyper-realistic digital replica of Times Square, interact with other players and explore an alternate world from the MeetKai Metaverse in Paris. In a virtual version of the Louvre, users can see the Mona Lisa without the crowds and meet the company’s unique AI-powered NPCs (non-player characters) who will act as conversation partners and guides for different experiences.
Most importantly, users will be able to claim a rare “Key to the City – NYC Edition” NFT. These keys will be exclusive to the New York City activation and will never be available again afterwards. They will unlock special features and prizes, and one will even give one lucky holder the chance to have a metaverse street named and created after them and their interests. For those not in NYC during the release, additional rewards and full experience access will be available on the MeetKai website until August 11th.
MeetKai has also revealed that this “Phase 1 Beta Release” will be the first in a series of live city activations, each of which will come with its exclusive Key NFT. While future locations haven’t been revealed yet, the company says users can look forward to seeing portals pop up in other US and international cities.
The AI company aims to create a virtual world that will bridge the gap between digital ownership and real-world impact, whether it’s buying a real garment in a metaverse store, or having an AI-powered interactive metaverse ad that generates real commitment. While the company’s full monetization strategy has yet to be revealed, the metaverse is blockchain-based, and the release of exclusive NFTs as part of the new “Key to the City” series points to the importance that digital assets will have in this metaverse.
In an interview with Authority Magazine, co-founder James Kaplan stated that alternative monetization methods, including Web3 and crypto technologies, are one of the three things that excites him the most in the VR, AR, and MR industries today. “In the past, people assumed monetization options could only exist in an App Store model,” he said. “There are now many more ways to monetize content.”
He went on to talk about the opportunities for decentralization and more direct monetization that Web3 brings, especially when combined with new content creation tools and more accessible VR technology.
In line with Kaplan’s statements, MeetKai innovates on all three of these fronts. In addition to offering exclusive NFTs, they also offer AI cloud services for companies looking to create content in the metaverse, including virtual assistants, intelligent NPCs, and immersive metaverse ads. These services will help create a metaverse that connects businesses and customers, offering a range of experiences from virtual entertainment to innovative learning platforms.
