SOMNIUM SPACE

Concept:

Somnium Space is an open, social and persistent Virtual Reality (VR) world that is built on blockchain, where everyone can buy land, build or import object avatars, easily monetize their experiences and immerse themselves into a completely alternative reality.

New world shaped by players, which is a true VR platform with land ownership on the blockchain as well as a virtual investment. Somnium Space is actually a world with its own economy and its own currency.

It will be accessible from any device whether it be in 2D / VR modes on a user’s Desktop or Mobile VR mode.

Land sale is the driving force behind our economy. So, the team believes in the idea of virtual land ownership where anything will be possible and imagination has no limits.

Users will be able to build marketplaces, games, cinemas, parks, schools and much more.
