OSDT, a licensed blockchain and virtual reality company based in Dubai, UAE, has officially launched VICUNA, a next-generation platform that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain to push the boundaries of immersive experiences. The platform is supported by leading UAE investors including Smart Desert Investment and Bin-Dahen Holding. VICUNA's core innovation lies in its VINAVerse metaverse, which integrates digital scent and haptic feedback technologies, allowing users to not only see and hear but also smell and touch virtual environments.
VINAVerse: A New Sensory Paradigm
VINAVerse is the metaverse version of the VICUNA ecosystem. Its primary goal is to provide a unique, sense-enriched digital life experience for gaming, shopping, and entertainment. Using advanced dynamic scent generation cartridges, the platform can produce a wide variety of smells from a limited number of cartridges while maintaining health and safety standards. Users will be able to walk through a virtual tropical rainforest and smell the aromatic scents of flowers, feel the cool breeze, and even taste virtual water. The platform will be available as a standalone application or can be integrated into existing businesses via SDK or API at no cost.
The VICUNA team is releasing the first virtual reality game with real sensations in Q1 2023. Players will use the latest haptic technology to feel every movement and strike of their opponents, creating an unprecedented level of immersion in the metaverse.
MetaZoo: Digital Animal Conservation and Gamification
VICUNA introduces MetaZoo, an augmented reality virtual zoo that allows animals to roam freely in their natural habitats while interacting with users in real time. Users can explore African plains, watch lions hunt, or dive into coral reefs from their living rooms. All ticket sales from MetaZoo are donated to global conservation projects. This gamified experience enables users to earn rewards while helping to protect endangered species. VICUNA emphasizes animal welfare, providing a digital environment that avoids physical cages.
VINA Token: Economic Backbone and Roadmap
The VICUNA ecosystem is powered by the VINA token, built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) using the BEP20 standard, with a total supply of 4.5 billion tokens. A private sale was conducted in June 2022, and the public presale is currently underway. The token price has surged from $0.02 in June 2022 to approximately $0.14, reflecting growing market interest. VINA is designed to provide a range of DeFi services, including a bridge between traditional banking and decentralized finance, a blockchain-based messenger, a referral network, and democratized advertising. The team plans to list VINA on major crypto exchanges soon.
VICUNA's roadmap is divided into phases: the platform launched in Q2 2022; the public sale and initial VINAVerse release are scheduled for Q4 2022; MetaZoo and FitNet will be rolled out in the first two phases of 2023. Users will be able to use touch and smell within VINAVerse, alongside offerings such as 4D restaurants. The VICUNA team believes in building a financial bridge between real and virtual worlds. Through VINA Credit Bridge, digital assets can be utilized in physical reality.
With a mission to protect animals, create jobs, and achieve complete financial freedom, VICUNA aims to revolutionize how humans interact in digital life. The platform invites businesses and individuals to join the next generation of digital-life and metaverse experiences.
