An immersive phygital experience in IMDA PIXEL by Smobler,
The Sandbox, Unstoppable Domains and Ledger in collaboration with Clay Nation
SINGAPORE, September 8, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Smobler, a leading metaverse architect headquartered in Singapore, has announced the debut of its phygital experience, NOVA. The event will take place at IMDA Pixel Innovation Center on September 12, ahead of TOKEN2049 and Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2023.
NOVA is a celebration of the communities that are created by and connected with the Smobler ecosystem. It is an in-real-life (IRL) experience hosted in sync with large-scale crypto & web3 events to allow community members around the world to come together to meet, interact and foster collaborations in the burgeoning open metaverse.
The inaugural edition of NOVA is presented by Smobler together with The Sandbox, a leading decentralized gaming virtual world and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands; Unstoppable Domains, the largest web3 domain name provider and digital identity platform; and Ledger, the most trusted hardware wallet provider, in collaboration with Clay Nation, a multi-dimensional clay animation and digital collectible project.
“The metaverse is not a replacement of the real world but an augmentation of the varied identities we already inhabit. As we create more immersive, interoperable and pandemic proof experiences in the digital space, we still believe in the transformative power of human capital. We should never underestimate the value of a firm handshake and a genuine smile across the room. The best ideas in the world begin with a simple hello,” says Loretta Chen, Co-Founder and CEO of Smobler.
“It is important to show how the metaverse is an extension of our physical world where anyone can be creative and make connections in an inclusive virtual space to learn new skills and prepare themselves for future jobs in the digital economy. The NOVA phygital experience organized by Smobler in the heart of IMDA’s PIXEL demonstrates how Singapore is participating in this digitization movement and creating a blueprint for others to follow,” says Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox.
Smobler, a portfolio company of The Sandbox, has been onboarded into IMDA Pixel since June. The hub is 28,000 square feet of innovation space for ideation, experimentation and is one of the top ten launchpads in Southeast Asia.
NOVA will commence with a performance led by Andy Benjamin Cai, a veteran dancer who was chosen as the Chief Choreographer for the Singapore National Day Parade 2017 and 2022. He says, “Loretta gave me my first big break into professional theater fifteen years ago. She is known for exploring new artistic expressions, pushing the boundaries of creativity with intention, imagination and fun! I am ecstatic to pay it forward with budding creators and experimental technology!”
There will be a panel discussion moderated by Chen on “Trust Matters: Building in a Broken World”, joined by Borget, Alexandre Lemarchand, Vice President of Global Sales of Ledger, Lenna Onto, Founder and CEO of Clay Nation and Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains.
Carter, who recently launched her book “The Tiger and The Rabbit: Harnessing the Power of the Metaverse, Web3, and AI for Business Success, A Business Fable” will share valuable lessons on digital identity, community, and data ownership as well as conduct a book signing.
“This event is powerful as it brings together the ecosystem. The power of digital identity in Web3 is a transformative force when embraced collectively by partners and users. It is the cornerstone that builds trust, enables secure interactions and empowers individuals to take control of their online presence.” Adds Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains, “Together, we are not just navigating the digital frontier; we are shaping it, forging a path towards a more decentralized, secure, and user-centric online world.”
Another highlight of the event is the exhibition of Light and Brilliance (光宗耀祖) by Singaporean artist y/x and the launch of its digital equivalent in The Sandbox. y/x whose real name is Chua Koon Beng is also CEO of Spa Esprit Group, one of Singapore’s best known lifestyle companies,
“This is the first time that I am planning and presenting a phygital exhibition. I am heartened to be able to bring to the audience a series of works paying tribute to the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. This will be a deep and rich experience through a The Sandbox game that will reach out to a younger demographic across geographies alongside a physical exhibition at the Four Seasons.”
There will also be attractive giveaways and performances by Singaporean entertainers Leland and Inch Chua who will be announcing her Music For Good partnership with Smobler and The Sandbox.
NOVA is on for one day only from 10am to 2pm.

DUBAI, UAE, September 7, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — The Next World Forum, a gaming event held in Riyadh on August 30th and 31st, gathered influential figures from the global gaming and esports industry. Organized by the Saudi Esports Federation, it served as a platform for industry discussions, emphasizing the esports economy’s rapid growth and the presence of key industry players.
The Next World Forum (NWF) not only provides an innovative opportunity to accelerate sector growth through investment and collaboration but also serves as a platform for intellectual exchange, discourse, and discussions to design the future and highlight potential. NWF serves as a meeting point for gaming and esports stakeholders to collaborate and share knowledge. It covers themes such as the esports economy, AI development, and the world’s fastest-growing games.
Prominent figures from global gaming companies, including Epic Games, Ubisoft, Roblox, Bandai Namco, Tencent, and Atari, participated in the event, alongside H.R.H Prince Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud, Chairman of Board of Directors of Saudi Esports Federation. Alexander Harutyunyan, Co-Founder and Chief Publishing Officer at Creta, also joined as a speaker, introducing Creta, a high-performance public blockchain Web3-based multiverse platform, which received significant interest from the audience. Creta’s presentation at the global event, NWF, signifies its entrance into the Middle Eastern gaming market and reflects its commitment to making strides in this region.
Creta, headquartered in Dubai, UAE, is a Web3-based metaverse gaming platform company. It comprises developers, publishers, and blockchain experts renowned in the global gaming industry. Notable figures include producer Ray Nakazato, Alexander Harutyunyan (former CEO of European game publisher INNOVA), and Seok-ho Yoon, CEO of CCR, known for developing Korea’s National Game Fortress. Yoshiki Okamoto, known for games like Street Fighter 2 and Monster Strike, is a key partner in the project, making Creta a contender in the competitive Web3 metaverse platform ecosystem.
With such prominent individuals involved, Creta is expected to lead the way in creating the most competitive Web3 metaverse platform ecosystem.
Creta’s platform development is led by Diverse, a Korean company with strong expertise in high-performance game engine technology and outstanding graphic capabilities. The Web3-based platform utilizes the high-performance public blockchain, Locus Chain, to create a massive multiverse that differs from existing metaverses. This multiverse is capable of combining and expanding numerous metaverses while maintaining photorealistic visual quality.
Creta offers four main components in its comprehensive Web3 platform service: Creta Multiverse (an endlessly expandable multiverse), Creta Game Platform (servicing Web2 and Web3 games), Creta Studio (enabling high-quality game and content creation), and Creta SuperClub (a Web3 community platform connecting the entire Creta platform).
The ability to provide such an extensive Web3 platform service is largely attributed to the use of Locus GameChain, which dramatically reduces server costs and addresses scalability issues through the utilization of the high-performance Locus Chain blockchain.
Alexander Harutyunyan, Co-Founder the Chief Publishing Officer of Creta, expressed his aspirations by stating, “During this event, we saw how interested the government is and how big the gaming and metaverse scene is in the Middle East. With Creta, we’re looking to show what the future holds for Web3 metaverse platforms and create a whole new gaming market in the Middle East.”
Creta is currently preparing for the early access service of SuperClub, a Web3 community platform, scheduled for October. Additionally, they plan to conduct a Closed Beta Test (CBT) of their first metaverse world by the end of the year.

Spaceport Launches Threadless Apparel on Roblox
Thousands of real-life Threadless designs are now available in the Metaverse across all Roblox experiences
BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, September 7, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Spaceport, the premier universal IP licensing platform, today announces the launch of Threadless t-shirts and apparel on the Roblox Marketplace. This launch opens new opportunities for both Threadless and Roblox users – enhancing immersive 3D experience with physical fashion options and providing significant exposure for Threadless and the community of talented artists behind the designs.
With over 20 years in e-commerce, Threadless has partnered with hundreds of thousands of artists, promoting their independent art on apparel, wall art, accessories and more to millions of fans around the world. Through the collaboration, Spaceport has integrated hundreds of real-life clothing designs from Threadless artists on the Roblox Marketplace as one of the largest branded collections on the platform.
“It’s so exciting to see artwork by the Threadless artist community embraced and celebrated within Roblox,” said Jake Nickell, Founder and CEO of Threadless. “Partnering with Spaceport has enabled us to quickly bring our artists’ designs to millions of Roblox players, and to further expand the reach of their work in a meaningful way through this new platform.”
Roblox offers an immersive global platform where 66 million users connect and communicate daily. Connecting users through millions of shared virtual experiences, such as hangouts and spaces for gameplay, the platform allows brands to bring their experience to millions of people anywhere in the world. Roblox is also a place for self-expression – with over half of Gen-Zers changing their avatar’s clothing at least once a week (Roblox), and 20 percent of users changing clothing daily (Vogue Business). The option to wear branded virtual clothing provides a new way for users to reflect their real-world aesthetic within the metaverse.
“This deal offers Threadless artists a unique opportunity to showcase their talents and reach new audiences,” said Peter Betts, Founder of Established Licensing. “While traditionally only the most prominent brands could afford the resources to execute these integrations, Spaceport levels the playing field for creators and brands of all sizes.”
Threadless’s venture into Roblox and the metaverse leverages Spaceport’s blockchain-backed smart licensing protocol that can rapidly integrate thousands of Threadless’s iconic designs into any virtual or physical marketplace. With the ability to activate IP assets at over 10x the scale of other platforms, all while maintaining an incredibly cost-effective approach, Spaceport’s smart licensing protocol is continuing to curate and roll out a catalog of over 35,000 assets in what is the largest physical-to-digital bridge of buyable retail assets ever made.
“Spaceport was created to redefine the way brands bring their intellectual property to life in both the physical world and the metaverse, and to do so with a platform that seamlessly, cost-efficiently, and rapidly takes brands to market,” said Le Zhang, Founder and CEO of Spaceport. “Our integration of Threadless’s IP into millions of Roblox experiences is yet another step towards bridging the gap between physical and digital intellectual property.”
The Threadless-branded digital apparel is available for purchase on the Roblox Marketplace and can be used in every Roblox experience. Roblox community members can now discover real-life Threadless designs and adorn their avatars with unique art from the Threadless community. The Threadless-branded digital shirts and hats are available to be obtained using Roblox currency, Robux. Royalties from Roblox purchases will be exchanged from Robux and paid out in US dollars to Threadless artists.
About Spaceport
Spaceport is accelerating the growth of the next digital economy by building tools for creators, brands and agencies to monetize their intellectual property. With a mission to break down the real-world limitations of IP, Spaceport offers a universal licensing catalog that enables greater deal velocity and provides exposure to a broad cross-section of digital and physical licensing opportunities.
