Using Augmented Reality to Power Web3 Social Media

For anyone who has been active in the Blockchain space for more than a few months you’ve likely heard the running joke — things move at hyper-speed. A day in crypto is like a month in the real world. While the vibe has been full Wild West in this bull market, the space has also matured and tapped into the mainstream. Now more than ever, NFTs and the Metaverse are everywhere. You know when your grandma starts sending you “Meta” articles that it’s too late to truly be early. Even though it’s getting harder to keep up with all the new projects launching, it’s important to look up from our twitter feed and focus on the future and what the Metaverse is about to become over the next decade. My company has made it our mission to combine the best of web 3 and immersive technologies to build a next-level, user-first communication platform. This platform is called XONE.

You know when your grandma starts sending you “Meta” articles that it’s too late to truly be early.

XONE is the next iteration of social media. The XONE mobile app will help you interact, create, and experience art in a new and immersive way. XONE will be an indispensable part of the decentralized Metaverse. Before we get into the details — let’s take you on a little journey to the future.

Technology development is exponentially increasing in speed of innovation. Only a few years from now, 5G will be replaced by 6G enabling the streaming of not just two of our senses (vision and hearing)- but most likely of all five (including feeling, smelling and tasting). We will have Augmented Reality glasses capable of scanning and recognizing any environment while overlaying 3D visuals. These glasses will be our tool to blur the digital and physical worlds together, creating visuals that integrate with haptics, wearables and text to create truly immersive experiences. At the same time, Blockchain will evolve to scale billions of micro-transactions through existing L2 services and ZK rollups. There will be a thriving landscape of composable solutions for social interaction, data handling, DeFi features and creative applications.

With tech moving at the speed of light, imagine what the future of social media will look like. You’ll be able to move and interact more naturally with your digital identity and your friends. No more sitting still staring down a static grid on a 6 inch screen. AR will be everywhere, overlaying digital information on the physical world and making it easy for you share and create immersive spaces.

Imagine visiting your friend’s live-streamed hologram or their 3D avatar in a digital or semi-digital environment.

Communication tools will evolve accordingly. Instead of only choosing between texts based chats, voice and video calls you’ll be able to interact with others in new ways. Imagine visiting your friend’s live-streamed hologram or their 3D avatar in a digital or semi-digital environment. As we go more immersive, the introduction of fashionable smart wearables will enable you to taste, smell and touch within a digital world. We’ve seen this all before. The phone, computers, and the internet all changed the way we communicate online. Web 3 will do the same, with social media, entertainment and education all adapting to innovation. This new era already has a term, it’s called the internet of senses. And that’s just the web 2.0 part — so let’s think about the possibilities within the “web 3 of senses”.

The XONE team is building the future of social media. In web 2, we made pages on Instagram and profiles on Linkedin. But in the future, your profile will not be on a phone or a screen but will be an immersive environment. That’s why we are building XONE, to give you your unique space in the metaverse. Your XONE merges all other platforms you use, encapsulating your uniqueness; a digital place where you can showcase your passions, your achievements, real life and digital events you visited and the digital assets you own. You‘ll even be able to have your own pet and avatar hanging out in the XONE dimension.

Our vision is to create a decentralized social network by combining the best of web 2 with the future of web 3. In our application, users can create, share, own, and interact with their XONES. By providing true ownership of a user’s identity through Non-fungible-tokens (NFTs) and rewarding participation, interaction, and engagement through the in-app utility token — $XONE we will re-imagine what a social network can be.
