Metaverse is where people, objects, and dreams will live through digital representatives, and it is considered the next successor of the internet. It offers three-dimensional and immersive experiences between the senses. Conceptually, it is one of the subjects that people are most curious about. Why is it so crucial for our future to design end-to-end Metaverse experiences? What skills and capabilities feed Metaverse Design Powerhouse? Two pioneers of the industry, STANDBY ME, world's first meta agency, and ILLUSORR, world's first design-oriented metaverse technologies company, bridge the gap between our understanding of this new creative discipline, technology, and architecture. Let's explore the NEXT big thing on designing the future for good!
