We had such an amazing and frenetic month! We started in March at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Union Avatars presented its futuristic Oval Booth. This installation allows users to create their realistic avatar in 15 seconds. The reception and feedback were overwhelming. We had the chance to talk to the brightest minds regarding the metaverse, virtual worlds, virtual identity and virtual reality. We learned a lot and it was a great networking experience.
As a way to thank the people who came by, we are creating a special NFT edition. So apart from getting their photorealistic avatar, they will get the very first Linking Realities’ NFT, and for free!
Media Coverage
During the last 4 weeks, several newspapers, mainstream media and organizations highlighted our contribution to the virtual world and echoed our work in different articles. To name some of them:
