OthersideMeta by YugaLabs

Meet OthersideMeta, a top-notch player in the Web3 metaverse, powered by Improbable. Envisioned as the digital hub for all Yuga Labs brands, Otherside is setting the stage for a vibrant, sustainable digital ecosystem that thrives on user creativity.

In the past year, Yuga Labs has bolstered its team with heavyweights: CEO Daniel Alegre (ex-President/COO Activision Blizzard), CTO Mike Seavers (ex-EVP Development Epic Games), and CGO Spencer Tucker (ex-President of Games at Scopely). They're geared to make Otherside a smashing success.

Improbable is crafting Otherside with a keen focus on interoperability. By introducing open object standards, they ensure seamless integration with any metaverse that adopts these models.

Otherside's gaming environment encourages players of all skill levels to dive in, with building tools powered by the Unreal Engine and game templates that cover a diverse spectrum of experiences. From cozy spaces for intimate challenges to sprawling landscapes for large-scale gaming – Otherside has it all!

OthersideMeta has its eyes set on high-definition realms. Thanks to Vision Pro's 3D rendering prowess, it's all set to provide ultra-immersive, mind-blowing gaming experiences.

Thinking about investing in OthersideMeta? You've got two choices: Otherdeeds (their exclusive land NFT collection) or Apecoin. APE is simpler as it doesn't have a 100,000 limited supply.

Futureverse

Second in line, we have Futureverse.

Born out of five years of strategic planning, research, and development, Futureverse stands as a testament to an open and scalable metaverse. This heavyweight project emerged from a $150m fusion of eight companies, now supported by a robust team of 250 full-timers.

With founders like Aaron McDonald, Shara Senderoff, and Marco Brondani, Futureverse is woven into the fabric of numerous notable entities: FIFA, Warner Music, Authentic Brands, Muhammad Ali Enterprises, and celebs like Timbaland, Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant.

Futureverse shines with its AI NFT collection that learns and grows. Interacting with these NFTs becomes a breeze with Vision Pro's advanced gesture and voice controls.

Look out for Flufworld, Futureverse's key NFT collection, currently with a floor price of 1.29 ETH. As the metaverse thrives, the value of these Flufs is all set to climb, making them appealing.

Oncyber

Oncyber, a 3D world-building platform, emerged in 2021 as a hub for Web3 Creators and Communities. Unlike its peers, Oncyber shunned the land scarcity-driven "FOMO" and speculation of selling NFT land plots, instead, offering NFT-based templates for personalised prefab spaces.

Riding high on a $6.7 million funding round, Oncyber recently unveiled Magic Composer, an AI tool empowering users to reshape 3D spaces simply by typing their ideas. Powered by OpenAI's GPT 3.5 model, it uses text prompts to instantly adjust Oncyber worlds.

As Oncyber adds more world-building features, its AI tool paves the way for accessible, bespoke 3D spaces. The team's dedicated to iterative growth, recently enhancing VR support and enabling external video and screen-sharing streams. Perfectly suited for Apple Vision Pro.

With Vision Pro's upcoming launch, expect a surge in demand for Oncyber's Art Gallery builds. Offering a high-fidelity view of their art collections, users can enjoy immersive art experiences without leaving home.

Worldwide Webb

Worldwide Webb (WWW3), a "2D interoperable MMORPG pixel metaverse" by Thomas Webb, lets NFT holders use their avatars for battles and quests. Funded by a $10M Pantera Capital investment, it boasts 40+ integrated PFP projects, over 100 NFT collections, and a million NFTs.

Drawing on 'Ready Player One' and classics like Runescape and Pokemon, WWW3 offers nostalgia and unique social dynamics.

Accessible on mobile, WWW3 is free-to-play. With Vision Pro integration, multitasking multiple games becomes effortless.

Interested? WWW3 Land starts at 0.14 ETH. As WWW3's user base grows, so will these NFTs’ value.

Wilder World

Wilder World creates an immersive 5D Metaverse through Ethereum, Unreal Engine 5, and Zero. They're building Wiami, a full-scale city 13x larger than GTA 5. The Vision Pro's 3D capabilities push Wilder World closer to a photorealistic metaverse where everything is an NFT.

WILD, Wilder World's token, launched at $0.048, peaked at $7.44, and now trades at $0.41. WILD is key to the Wilder World marketplace. Now, let's explore some more land.

The Sandbox

The Sandbox is a decentralized, user-generated metaverse built on Ethereum. Backed by heavyweights like Binance and Animoca Brands, it's powered by SAND, trading at $0.49 with a peak at $7.46.

Built on cutting-edge Unity tech, The Sandbox offers unique features like a creation tool for custom games, a bustling NFT marketplace, and player-driven governance. It flaunts 165+ partners, like Snoop Dogg and Adidas, and over 50 NFT collections building immersive worlds.

The SAND token is preferable over Sandbox Land, which has proven less liquid recently. Now let's hop onto the final one!

Decentraland

Last but not least, we cannot forget Decentraland which pulled a +300% run after Facebook’s “Meta” rebrand.  

Launched in February 2020, Decentraland is a blockchain-based virtual world and community where users own land, artworks, and NFTs. Transactions within the game, from virtual clothing to real estate, rely on the MANA token, currently trading at $0.41, with a peak at $5.16.

With its immersive VR mode, Decentraland lets users explore in a whole new dimension. The release of Apple's Vision Pro could propel its value even higher during the next bull run.

Cryptonary’s take 🧠

The Apple Vision Pro could hold the key to the upcoming bull run in the Metaverse.

This groundbreaking headset revolutionises creativity and social connections. By seamlessly merging virtual avatars with the real world, interactions transcend traditional boundaries, spanning the metaverse, social media, and gaming platforms.

Apple's expertise lies in introducing user-friendly technology to the masses. The Vision Pro propels users into immersive experiences, bridging the gap to the metaverse. This unlocks new horizons for creators and fuels the demand for NFT assets. Which of course likely comes in with a sprinkle of hype.

The metaverse which has recently been shelved is about to get its second chance. Now let’s just hope regulators don’t ban Apple from allowing metaverse products.
