“The future of the metaverse begins today as literally millions of consumers gain easy access to an augmented reality experience that has been limited to tech insiders and early adopters thus far,” said Peter Calfee, President of WeDream. “With the launch of the WeDream App, the metaverse is no longer an out-of-reach mystery to the average consumer but a tangible option for exploration, discovery and connection. Bringing those people in and essentially democratizing access to the metaverse is one of our primary goals.”
WeDream’s mission is to merge the physical and virtual worlds in order to enable more people to create and engage with each other in augmented reality. The WeDream App powers this new social media experience, providing access to the metaverse through the convenient and familiar interface of a smartphone. When engaging in “Dreams,” including social hangouts, games, business collaboration, immersive performances and beyond, WeDream empowers those using the app (or “Dreamers”) with a set of innovative tools and infrastructure to utilize augmented reality however they see fit. The inaugural version of the WeDream App includes the following features:
- Dream Creator Tools: Allows anyone on the platform to create a Dream and build an environment to host friends and/or their community utilizing unique elements in augmented reality. These environmental objects include; lighting, trees, rocks, crystals, game components, basketball hoop, shooting targets, interactive objects (balloons that can be “popped,” breakable crystal).
- Audio Broadcasting: Up to 15 people in a Dream can utilize a “sound of god” effect enabling those people to be the core voices heard within the Dream. The host can select those broadcasting with them on the Dream Stage and a blast notification will identify the speakers. The avatars of speakers will be equipped with a microphone to identify them as broadcasters in the Dream.
- Audio Streaming: Live sets and prerecorded audio can be streamed into a Dream using a backend portal that allows the uploader to select a specific Dream to input an MP3 or stream live sets.
- Image Containers: The ability to upload any image into augmented reality which can be used to display branding, messaging, NFTs, or other art.
- 3D Text: WeDream features a singular font, 3D-customizable text that can be adjusted in size allowing creators to amplify their brand and message in augmented reality.
- Couch Mode: A setting in which a person can experience a Dream via virtual reality.
Dreamers on the platform first begin by customizing their avatar, then they can create a new “Dream” or enter an existing one within the platform. This is similar to “worlds” or “servers” commonly known in many online games today. Once they enter a Dream, they are linked to other Dreamers in the same virtual space, where they can connect and interact with people across town and around the globe in free, ticketed or subscription-based experiences. Artists and creators in WeDream can customize their surroundings to create unique spaces, and develop new objects and interactions that they can then sell to other Dreamers. Creations on the WeDream app are developed as NFTs, providing a chain of custody, giving creators a verified marketplace to be compensated for their creations.
“We believe the WeDream marketplace of digital goods and services will be a huge attraction for so many creatives. It really puts the power of this new, limitless economy into the hands of the masses,” Calfee said. “WeDream provides the infrastructure. Creators can make and sell unique gadgets, environments and interactions in the form of NFTs. It is going to be an amazing experience to start sharing all of WeDream’s capabilities with folks during the upcoming Dream Festival.”
