so well speaking of the metaverse, Lowe's is utilizing
technology for customers to work on home improvement. The
company just launching a tool called open builder that lets
customers arrange and visualize projects with 500 assets, like
different types of doors, furniture and decor to see
a room come together. It is completely free in
the lows metaverse hub, an approach that allows anyone
to use it rather than building the space on an
existing hub like roadblocks. So lows has no interest
in making money off of this tool. It just
says that it's seen a big appetite from customers who
want to use emerging technologies in their shopping experiences.
Of course, anytime you kind of do a D
. I. Y. Project at home, it
does help to interact and be in a visual space
to see how it actually comes together. Not surprised
that Lowe's is doing this and it's kind of funny
because Lowe's is actually having fun with this because they're
also introducing an N. F. T. Collection
for the 1st 1000 participants and they'll get a collection
of boots, hard hats and other related accessories for
builders on the D central land platform. So you
know, it could be like a collector's kind of
thing. Like oh I have the exclusive Lowe's boots
that were only given out to 1000 avatars and that
could be pretty cool. Yeah, I don't know
if they're selling like Gucci would on this product just
yet, ken, prayed housing exactly. Just because
we know what some of the prices and options are
in the metaverse these days, but it makes total
sense. We were speaking about this, we've been
speaking about it for a long time ever since the
rebrand was announced by meta, of course the parent
company of facebook and that's it for design teams,
for anyone who wants to collaborate, build something out
together, it is easy and efficient to do it
in a digital space and I think there's gonna be
a huge boom in loyalty programs coming from the universe
. When you go shop in the metaverse and shop
in store, there's definitely gonna be some kind of
connection with rewards, membership, something I'm sure we're
gonna see that in the future as well.
