Upland, the leading web3 Metaverse SuperApp, announced a major partnership with Nowhere, a virtual gathering platform that aims to revolutionize socialization and deepen human interaction. This partnership brings to life the concept of ‘Cafes’, a significant step in Upland’s mission to become the biggest home and hub of the metaverse powering a dynamic digital open economy.
Upland is already renowned for its engaging metaverse, where players, creators, developers, and brands can create games, goods and experiences, monetize assets, and provide utility and fun. The NOWHERE integration adds immersive spaces for players to meet, socialize, and showcase their 3D avatars.
Unique to Upland, Cafes are built on properties that are geo-located to the real-world Upland map. Players can enjoy a view of their local in-game streets, neighborhoods, and cities, including structures, map assets, structural ornaments, and cars. Upland’s community members enter Cafes with their avatar dressed in digital wearables from the extensive wearable library, which includes designs from various Upland brand partners.
Idan Zuckerman, Upland Co-Founder and Co-CEO, commented on the innovation: “Cafes are an exciting milestone in our vision to empower communities to easily socialize and share experiences with each other in Upland. With this integration, we are solidifying our position as a metaverse leader by deepening the opportunities that our communities and brand partners have to offer full 3D immersion.”
Jon Morris, NOWHERE Co-Founder and CEO also shared his enthusiasm: “We’re thrilled to bring our technology to Upland. It marks a milestone for the metaverse — players from all over the world can hang out inside an immersive cafe looking out on a player generated virtual city mapped to the real world. We hope this will strengthen the community and look forward to the exciting opportunities which grow from this partnership.”
Upland and Nowhere are poised to become the most active web3 metaverse on the planet. Leveraging NOWHERE’s cutting-edge 3D technology, players will soon be able to build, customize, and operate their own Metaventures on a global scale. Uplanders can experience the latest ‘Cafe’ feature on its iOS and Android mobile apps and on the web.
