Gothenburg, Sweden – June 21, 2022 – Hiber, a platform transforming any website into an interconnected metaverse presence, today announced the release of its NFT Gallery, a tool which allows anyone to view their NFT collections in the metaverse using any device with a web browser. The new feature will provide the opportunity for owners to see any NFTs in their possession in one place.
The new gallery enables users to enter any Ethereum wallet address containing NFTs to nftgallery.mv, where Hiber’s technology will procedurally generate a 3D art gallery in the metaverse within a matter of seconds. Users can then explore the gallery in an avatar form, while accessing their NFTs to learn more about them, which can also be viewed on Opensea. The custom gallery URL can subsequently be shared and used by anyone and shared across social media.
To demonstrate the power of this tool, Hiber has identified more than 70 wallet addresses belonging to A-List celebrities, including those owned by Kevin Hart, Justin Bieber, DJ Khaled, Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Post Malone, Paris Hilton, Mike Tyson, and Snoop Dogg, and has generated galleries of some of the most sought after NFT collections in the world. For anyone who has ever wanted to peruse NFT collections belonging to massive Hollywood stars, the chance is now here. The celebrity galleries can be accessed here.
Michael Yngfors, CEO and Co-Founder of Hiber shared his insights on the NFT Gallery, commenting: “We take great pride in creating a means whereby users can fully tap into NFT wallets in a way that hasn’t been done before.” He further added, “With the celebrity addresses that we have added to the gallery, fans now have the opportunity to be part of the experience of being able to see the NFTs that their idols own.”
The Gallery is not in any way endorsed in any way by any of the celebrities that own the wallets, but simply serves to illustrate the open nature of both Web3 and blockchain technology, where anyone can tour a celebrity’s gallery for free.
Metaverse platform HiberWorld set for major upgrade with new cross-platform 3D engine and Web3 tech
Hiber’s UGC Metaverse Platform Offers Creators No Code Co-Creation, Improved Graphics and Frictionless Access via Mobile Devices and Web Browsers
February 3, 2022 – Hiber announced that its Metaverse platform HiberWorld is about to undergo a major upgrade with the rollout of a proprietary, lightweight yet powerful, next generation 3D engine as well as use of Web3 technology to give creators and their communities new opportunities.
The platform’s unique 3D engine offers significantly improved graphics and performance, real time co-creation where users can collaborate and play together, and a whole new experience that makes no-code creation fun and accessible to the masses via browsers as well as Apps. Through the use of Web3 technology the platform will, amongst other things, support digital ownership and enable interoperability, where holders of NFTs from partners can unlock and use their assets on HiberWorld.
Apple iPhone users in New Zealand, Australia, and The Philippines are the first to be able to try the new platform which is downloadable in these initial rollout countries via the App Store.
Over the coming weeks, the company plans to rollout the new experience on the web at HiberWorld.com replacing the initial version that has been in testing for around two years. To date, the community has made more than two million virtual worlds, which already makes HiberWorld one of the largest Metaverse platforms today.
Additional device platforms are scheduled to roll out over the coming months as the company delivers on its goals of bringing creation and the Metaverse to everyone through an open, frictionless no-code experience.
“We believe the Metaverse, just like the Internet, inherently needs to be open, accessible and free for everyone to participate in and express their creativity without any barriers,” said Michael Yngfors, CEO of Hiber AB. “That’s why we have built a web and mobile first, no-code platform that removes all the friction and utilizes Web3 technology to enable interoperability and support digital ownership. We believe the HiberWorld platform has the potential to power hundreds of millions of interconnected virtual worlds, opening the Metaverse to the masses.”
“HiberWorld gives users a new medium with which to create 3D experiences and instantly publish and share them, each becoming a distinct and unique virtual world and presence in the Metaverse,” said Johan Peitz, Chief Product Officer of Hiber AB. ‘’As we roll out the platform over the coming months, we will be announcing a number of partners that will extend both the utility of the platform, and show how we are embracing interoperability and Web3.”
