Appendix

For those who have missed the amazing MAMA, here is a full list of Q&A!

• Q1: What’s the process for integrating an NFT community?

MAY is working hard to build a platform for all NFT members. Since March, we have accumulated more than 30 partners and there are more than 20 partnership experiences in our pipeline to be launched on the MAY app in 2022 H2, including Weirdo Ghost Gang, Virium, Paladin Pandas, and our main partner Three Ears Bunny.

Three Ears Bunny is an NFT collection of digital artwork that’s stored on the blockchain. Their NFTs are listed on OpenSea and their community is rapidly growing with over 11K followers on Twitter in only a few months of launch. The team is actively building with all of our partners.

Recently, MAY announced its new partnership with Superheros NFT world. We are very happy to have Metaverse AMA with SNW today. SNW also has a large group of NFT audiences, and together we can reach a massive number of people.

Let me introduce a bit more about MAY’s mission. We are working hard to provide an engaging experience for our users, with real-time movement and voice capture, and they can interact with a 3D NFT figure on our apps or website.

They can also show NFT collections to others and make transactions. We bring convenience to the users and enable them to reach other NFT lovers or artists. Together with our partners, we are integrating different NFT communities.

• Q2: What kind of game feature has already been launched on MAY?

One of the casual games MAY has already launched is the Avalon game. Avalon is a kind of game of deception and trust in each other. You have different roles and you have different kinds of missions in the game and you try to win your own elaboration with your own stories. So Avalon is quite a popular board game and party game, originally offline. When people gather together in person, I usually play it with my friends until later in the night.

So it’s really an addictive and captivating game and what we do is to bring the game online and in a metaverse way. Bringing your avatar into the game room, you can also have a different point of view from your first-person view or third-person view to the entire audience.

During the game, there is something you need to be noticed. What are others’ facial expressions? What are their hand gestures? How are they expressing their stories in real-time? Traditional online Avalon games cannot give you this information. But MAY have techniques that enable users to have real-time voice chats, and avatars carry users’ facial expressions/gestures in the games. All this happens in a virtual space where you are no longer bounded by physical or distance.

• Q3: The big thing that jumps out about the metaverse platform MAY is building is of course the amazing motion capture of the user’s head/face/hands/voice which is then mimicked by the avatar in real-time. That completely elevates the social interactions within your metaverse and I believe creates a true social immersive experience. And all without clunky expensive hardware so you’re keeping the barrier to entry for users low. In a lay way, can you explain how it works?

I am not a technical person, but I will try to explain it in a simple way. In the first place, our team came up with this idea because we think that in the metaverse, our experience is all virtual, right?

We are embracing people in the virtual world. But what matters is how you can best represent yourself in the virtual world through your avatar, so that’s what we spent a lot of time thinking about. You know we want to bring your voice and what other expressions you need to carry. Naturally in social communication, we need to know your facial expression, nonverbal gestures, eyes blinking, etc. I think all these matter in a social setup, that’s why we use motion capture to represent your avatars.

In fact, the mechanism behind it is really technology-wise. It is complicated, but the concept is simple because we’re simply using the camera on your device to capture your motion. Transform your motion into motion vectors. Those motion vectors again are bonded with your avatars. We call it muscles and skeletons and then the motion captures get transmitted through the network to the other side of the device. And we get the motion vectors and then we get the nodes to which muscle or skeleton it is bonded, and then it drives their avatar and their moves. So Avatar actually moves. You can imagine it is like a puppet show. We’re using the camera as the string, or the orchestra to actually find the right motion that you are actually doing, and then through these strings over the Internet. And then we will drive your avatar, which is the puppet. So, I think that’s how I will explain how technology works.

• Q4: Can you talk a bit about your plan? Why do you think games should be an important part of the metaverse you built? And how would you combine Social-fi and games?

IMAY and our partners developed different kinds of games for our users. Three Ear Bunny’s games will collaborate with other NFT communities including Weirdo Ghost Gang etc. We want to increase interaction with our community members and NFT- holders, as well as give benefits to them. By playing the game, users can get whitelists for airdrop/free mint, etc. But our primary goal is that they can play for fun and feel belonging to the communities. We have 20+ games in the pipeline and will launch 1 game each month for community collaborations and growth.

MAY also provides a space for social games including Avalon and poker etc, as mentioned before. We believe games are a good way to socialize with friends or even strangers.

• Q5: MAY and SNW are both the leading projects in Metaverse Social-fi fields, and it is so exciting to see the cooperation between you two. I believe AMA is just the first part of your cooperation. Can you release more details about your future cooperation plans?

There will be multi-level collaboration to be presented in the following months.

SNW will firstly support May in terms of:

1. WL giveaway; 2. partnership games in SNW city or on the Three Ears Bunny website.

And, in the long run, the Social-Fi metaverse of SNW and MAY will eventually connect to each other through portals that serve the users with more aggregated benefits and convenience.
