Our goal is to showcase this at Art Walk in Jacksonville
on Wednesday, October 5th 2022 to allow the Hispanic
community to share their passion for the beauty of
Hispanic culture and Heritage.
This free activity is dedicated to showing the beauty
of the Hispanic Culture and Heritage using the Metaverse
which can inspire, encourage, and educate.
The Metaverse and Web 3 is influencing social and community
collaborations using Web3, NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens),
Digital Arts and other platforms. Having grown tremendously
and making substantial changes to life and living with the inclusion
of technology.
The Metaverse term has been around for a few years, but
only recently been talked about. It is created by the author
Neal Stephenson in his 1992 sci-fi novel “Snow Crash.”
In this book, the metaverse is an all-immersive digital
world that exists parallel to the real world.
Today using immersive technologies like Spatial, Altspace VR,
DecentralLand and others there are hundreds of developing
Metaverse sites that allow people to create their own avatars
to be engaged in almost anything imaginable.
To learn more listen to Aida and William at recent conferences
explaining the Metaverse and how it influences life and living
now and the future.
