The issue of interoperability between different metaverse platforms is one of the main problems affecting the industry. OVER, a decentralized Metaverse platform curating geolocalized AR/VR experiences, comes out with a solution on its platform by announcing an updated version of its app that includes the integration of Sandbox assets.
The Sandbox is a community-driven platform where creators can monetize voxel ASSETS and gaming experiences on the blockchain.
With the new update, Sandbox users will be able to control their NFTs on OVER’s platform and invite friends without having to leave OVER’s app. OVER has also generated a standard that any creator can follow to onboard their 3D-rigged assets, making them automatically usable on its platform.
In the real world, people can carry their physical assets from one place to another. It doesn’t quite work like that in the Metaverse. NFTs or other digital assets can’t simply be taken from one platform to another, yet, presenting a challenge to the industry goal of unifying experiences among digital worlds.
To tackle this challenge, OVER developers update the app’s interface, allowing Sandbox users to control their NFTs on OVER’s platform. OVER publishes a standard that any creator can follow to onboard their 3D-rigged assets, making them automatically usable on its platform.
The new version of OVER now allows users to invite friends without leaving the application, providing new opportunities for collaboration and interaction between NFT fans.
Davide Cuttini, OVER’s CEO and Co-Founder, points out that interoperability, or the lack thereof, is one of the main problems plaguing the Metaverse industry.
“The Sandbox is one of the largest and most influential platforms in the space, and we are very thrilled to enable the integration of their assets with our Metaverse world. We are continuing to facilitate interoperability with other platforms going forward, in line with our vision of building an open and decentralized cross-platform experience,” Davide said.
OVER is a community-owned Metaverse platform running on Ethereum Blockchain. Italy-based decentralized metaverse platform allows users to delve into a metaverse of location-based live interactive augmented reality experiences through their mobile device or smart glasses.
OVER sets the new standard in augmented reality experiences by building the first content browser where the available AR/VR experiences are tied to the user’s location. OVER adopt the open-source philosophy, meaning that the entire OVER community contributes to its growth, thus making the platform-independent of its creators.
OVER leverages NFTs to create a bridge between the digital and physical worlds through advanced geolocation. OVER users have already scanned over a million locations and landmarks as part of its “Pokemon Go”-styled treasure hunt. The platform doesn’t require a lidar or other expensive hardware, but rather just a standard smartphone camera.
Recently, OVER was included in a16z report exploring metaverse land sales along with other big players like Decentraland and Crypto Voxels.
