According to Daniel Marco, the director general of Innovation and Digital Economy of Catalonia, the regional government of Catalonia has the goal of transforming the Spanish territory into a digital hub and launching its very own metaverse.

In 2014, Marco was in charge of directing the government effort known as “Smart Catalonia,” which oversaw the process of transforming Catalonia into a “smart country.” The official started working on the creation of a “totally digital economy inspired by the physical world” when blockchain technology and the metaverse became available.

Marco claims that the authorities intend to initiate something called a “Catalan metaverse.” He has elaborated as follows: “There will be ties established between the Cataverse and the language and culture of Catalonia. We want community groups that are active in the cultural sphere to be able to translate their work into something that can be used in the metaverse.”

The Cataverse, which is a Catalonian Metaverse, is currently being developed by the government, and it is anticipated that Cataverse will be founded on the Catalan language as well as the culture of Catalonia. This project’s ultimate objective is to make it possible for Catalan entities that make a contribution to the culture to do so within the Metaverse.

The Minister of Innovation for Catalonia also discussed the objectives of the Catalan government to transform Barcelona into the digital capital of the country with the most population in the world.

According to what he has said, Barcelona will likewise develop into a hub for the creation of digital technologies

In order to accomplish this objective, a significant amount of success will depend on the recruitment of skilled individuals. A variety of support programs for young people with exceptional abilities have been established by the government.

LongevityDAO and Tomorrow Bio are working together on a project called Cryonauts. Cryopreservation of an individual’s entire body is a service offered by Tomorrow Bio to clients who are interested in the possibility of living longer than is presently feasible and in witnessing the future.

The Cryonauts are currently dormant in their cryogenic dewars, awaiting the day when they will be awakened at some point in the distant future. All of the money made from this NFT initiative will be used towards research projects that Tomorrow Bio is conducting to enhance the standard of cryopreservation processes. A cryopreservation package with a market value of $200,000 will be given away to one very fortunate NFT holder.

The community will continue to assist the NFTs in a variety of ways, including providing marketing exposure and other rewards on reaching subsequent revenue milestones

Cryonauts are Tomorrow Bio’s official non-fantasy toys (NFTs). The holders of Tomorrow Bio are being cryogenically preserved for a time in the future when research into longevity will have progressed to the point where it will be feasible to live for a thousand years. Create a Cryonaut and sell it to raise money for Tomorrow Biostasis.

One of the NFTs has achieved legendary status, which confers upon its owner the privilege of receiving one complimentary cryopreservation service from Tomorrow Bio. The cryopreservation of this specimen is valued at €200,000.

Samsung announced at Galaxy Unpacked 2022 that it will soon release its own island in the Fortnite metaverse after earlier this year seeing the birth of virtual worlds in Decentraland, ZEPETO, and Roblox. Samsung’s Fortnite metaverse island, “Smart City,” honors the release of the brand’s most recent foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4.

Players of Fortnite who visit Samsung’s island will be able to interact and experience Samsung goods virtually

Smart City is “not just about having fun, but more importantly about exploring and forming relationships,” according to Samsung Latin America. In either case, there are gameplay features including treasure hunts for in-game items.

Structures like bridges, skyscrapers, and spotlights that resemble Samsung’s upcoming foldable phones and The Freestyle projector can be found throughout the explorable virtual world. Beginning on August 18, Smart City will debut in the Fortnite metaverse.

The Z Series Fun Game Quest will include Samsung’s Smart City in the Fortnite metaverse as far as gaming is concerned. The new hidden Galaxy Z Fold 4 in-game item is made to be found by playing “hide and seek” games. Players can activate features like Nightography, which improves night vision in the game world, while still keeping the Z Fold 4 with their characters.

The brighter and better sensors, enhanced night photography, and a ton of other fascinating new features and updates, as well as larger batteries and better build quality, are all promised by Samsung’s forthcoming foldable phones. Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 start at $999 and $1,799, respectively, in the majority of markets.

The Advanced Intelligent ANC wireless earbuds and a few new Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatches, including a Pro variant with a battery large enough to last up to 80 hours on a single charge, were also unveiled by Samsung at Unpacked 2022.
