Illust Space, Populating the Metaverse with Art & Culture. It is a platform agnostic gateway for artists, technologists, idealists, and pragmatists to populate the “immersive layer” with art and culture. Using its proprietary blockchain auction and minting platform “Hash the Mesh”, Illust Space is offering augmented reality artists the opportunity to publish and track provenance of their 3D art across video games, apps, social media networks, galleries, metaverses, and amongst the emerging class of digital art collectors. Augmented reality art is an area of creation supported by the rendering of 3D overlays on a phone. The Art’s intrinsic details and innateness are supported by smart contracts. Smart Contracts such as the ERC-721 standard provide the ability to track provenance and authenticity so that a single piece art maintains its integrity regardless of how it changes hands. Augmented reality art is viewable through your phone’s internal software, ARKit and AR Core. Illust Space is actively building partnerships with the leading social media networks, game studios, and tech platforms to provide an artist or collector with an opportunity to display their art or resell the art on a secondary market. By setting up a wallet through our onboarding process or a wallet you already own, all bids are accepted through Ethereum. The highest bidder with enough funds to fulfill the top bidding price wins the auction. Following an auction, bid winners will be contacted directly by a representative from Illust Space to accept the funds.
