2. Food Metaverse
Game NFT has become very popular lately, especially games with a play-to-earn format that allows players to collect cryptocurrency while playing.
There is one new NFT game that has an exciting premise, OneRare. Through the gaming zone they offer, players can get metaverse food. Interestingly, the food is actually the original menu from chefs, restaurants, and well-known food companies, which are then requested to become NFT.
Through OneRare, you can also access a variety of experiences that are still related to the culinary world. NFT that has been collected can also be exchanged for real food.
3. Virtual marriage in the metaverse
Marriage through digital technology such as video calls during the pandemic became very common. Now with the metaverse, the “virtual wedding” experience has become even more real.
A report from the tabloid The Sun found that there are already several married couples on metaverse platforms such as Decentraland and Virbela. One of them is the marriage of Dinesh Padmavathi and Janaganandhini Ramasamy. The wedding took advantage of NFT, digital music entertainment, and even a “digital resurrection” of the bride’s late father.
4. Metaverse, a new world for digital nomads
A digital nomad is a term used to describe workers who work remotely. They take advantage of technology to be able to work from anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. The number of digital nomads increases when the pandemic strikes.
Metaverse technology allows these digital nomads to have an adequate virtual work environment. In fact, they can get a similar experience while working in an office.
