METAVERSE ARCHITECTURE

a blend of commissioned and self-initiated virtual spaces designed for digital art exhibitions and alternative modes of communication
(2021-ongoing)

The technology utilized for the following metaverse spaces is ARIUM SPACES
Users can create fully customizable virtual spaces, modifying environments and displaying high-quality artwork, NFTs, videos, and 3D models.

Arium is a browser-based 3D video chat platform designed for hosting social events in virtual spaces that simulate being together in the same physical location. Users can freely move around these 3D environments and approach others to initiate conversations naturally, without needing to manage breakout rooms or formal meeting structures.

The platform features spatial audio where conversations fade in and out based on proximity, mimicking real-world social dynamics and allowing for spontaneous interactions. Arium works directly in web browsers without requiring specialized hardware or software downloads, making it accessible for virtual exhibitions, conferences, and social gatherings. The technology is specifically designed to make large virtual events feel more natural by recreating the serendipitous social interactions that typically occur at in-person gatherings.
