Project: VR: A flowershop with NFT plants
Challenge area: “Virtual Reality, Onboarding”
NeoBloom – Grow your own NFT (for VR-dao)
Project Member: Allan Yde (yde.near)
One liner: Imagine cultivating or buying a NFT flower pot that grows over time.
Project summary:
I want to utilize an already existing metaverse like Cryptovoxels to test, deploy and open the flowershop, before it branches out to the great ether of metaverses, all through Mintbase.
After your purchase of the pot plant you can nurture it watch it grow and bring it into different metaverses. Ultimately it can survive through many generations and you can pass it on the your kids or grandkids.
For NEAR tokens you can buy a flower pot. You can also become a botanist that cultivates the flowers that you can buy in the VR flower shop. As a farmer you can get seeds from the flowershop to cultivate and grow different plants. The first on boarding seed will be free. You can then get more seeds from the plant shop for NEAR tokens. You can always sell your seed back. The botanists will cultivate and mint their plants to the flowershop for NEAR tokens. It can then be found on Mintbase NFT marketplace, or you can simply go to the shop on Cryptovoxels.
A large potential for educational purposes
-
The whole process of NFT creation, buying and selling.
-
Agriculture, learn how to cultivate your plants and how different conditions (moisture, temperature, watering intervals and more) each species need.
Finally VR hardware has gotten an affordable pricing that is within reach of the masses. You can now get a VR headset for 300 dollars, which means soon the most of the family will have access to the different metaverses around the web.
Onboarding people to Mintbase with tangibility of buying a plant.
A platform like Mintbase on Near allows creative coders and designers to access the blockchain with ease. It feels much like what the Processing foundation did with Javascript and later what P5js did with Javascript bringing the creatives to the frontline. With tangible projects like this Near and Mintbase will be able to attract more artistic minds to develop
Not only this would push for more commercial use-cases in the NEAR network, but would be a blueprint for community-driven funding, sharing knowledge in the farming space and generate new ideas of how to use the potential of NFTs.
-
Generate different seeds with unique identifiers and generate 3D models of selected plant species (with Blender or any other 3D modelling software).
-
Integrate plant growing database with the different plant species.
-
Create a farming spot for cultivation of seeds and plants for the botanists/farmers that will grow and mint NFT plants.
-
Design and make the flowershop, locate it in a metaworld on Cryptovoxels.
-
Integrate with the NEAR and Mintbase eco-system (NFT shop).
I strongly believe this platform would be a reference in the VR space, serving multiple purposes, regarding onboarding new comers and introducing creative minds to beautiful decentralized tooling.
