Inspired by the example of Walt Disney, who controlled all of his intellectual property, Superplastic founder Paul Budnitz creates characters in the meta universe and gets royalties for featuring the characters he created in movies that haven’t even been made.

Superplastic founder Paul Budnitz has spent the last five years on the shores of Lake Champlain, where he and a team of designers have created digital characters and complex storylines that should attract millions of fans – and, if all goes well, billions of dollars – in entertainment, music, fashion, NFT and cryptocurrency in the nascent Web3 world.

In the near future, the developers of meta-villages intend to facilitate the use of meta-villages and abandon cumbersome and expensive equipment in favor of cheaper and more compact virtual reality glasses.

It should also be noted that the development of meta-villages attracts the attention of regulatory bodies, both from global organizations, such as the European Union, and local regulators. As the sector develops, controls over users and businesses will increase in order to protect the rights and interests of participants in the meta-world.

The virtual reality industry has grown to nearly 150 digital worlds at the end of Q4 2022, researchers found.

The volume of virtual worlds at the end of the IV quarter of 2022 was 148 pieces. It is reported by analysts of consulting firm Metaversed.

According to researchers’ calculations, the most users still remain on the projects model Web2. For example, the largest virtual world is fixed in the game-meta universe Roblox, which accounts for about 202 million active players on a monthly basis.
