By accessing The Nemesis platform, users will be able to move around in a totally innovative digital environment that not only recreates the setting and atmosphere of the city and the festival, but also allows them to try out the features ofered by new technologies to enrich the experience.
The metaverse, which will be available and accessible both from the desktop (via a simple URL link) and from the mobile APP, will ofer an experience enriched by gamifcation, a key aspect that will make the city’s landmarks an active part of the exploration, thanks to dynamic challenges and activities.
Among the brands with virtual counterparts are McDonald’s, Casino Lugano, LUGANODANTE Hotel, and several merchants from Via Nassa, the central shopping street.
The iconic fast food chain will also engage in an exciting phygital activity that will bridge the virtual and real worlds: during the event, anyone visiting the McDonald’s in the metaverse will receive a FREE coupon for a pack of french fries, redeemable at the restaurant on Riva Albertolli 1 street.
Participants also will be able to immerse themselves in a completely new dimension in real life thanks to the use of DOT. This technology, which integrates Augmented Reality and Artifcial Intelligence within The Nemesis platform, will create an unprecedented immersive and interactive experience..
By scanning one of these QR codes, located at various points around the city, with any mobile device, visitors will be taken directly to The Nemesis platform, where an avatar (inspired by the new NFT collection launched by the municipality, “MyLugano Apes”) will welcome them with basic tourist information presented in three diferent languages, Italian, English and German. Each scan will result in the release of a card that can be used on the platform, a real virtual voucher that will grant the user a prize within The Nemesis.
By collecting all the available cards through the various QR code scans, participants will have the chance to win a special prize at the end of this exciting digital treasure hunt.
The revolutionary element of this initiative is its commitment to accessibility and sustainable innovation. Even after NFT FEST is over, the access points marked with QR codes will remain visible and accessible to tourists visiting the city. These points will continue to provide useful information through the use of artifcial intelligence, ensuring an unprecedented information experience.
