Is Vatican Metaverse coming? The Vatican has announced its plans to create a virtual art gallery in the metaverse. The NFT gallery will democratize art and bring the Roman Catholic Church’s headquarters closer to the virtual world. The Vatican museum is home to over 800 works by famous artists, and attracts millions of visitors annually. Founded in the 16th century, the museum is the most culturally significant site in Vatican City. This new art gallery is a partnership between the Vatican and a Swiss metaverse company called Sensorium. It will be chaired by Father Philip Larrey.
Vatican Metaverse will include a new VR art gallery
The Vatican’s plans to create a virtual art gallery are an interesting step forward for the world of virtual art. It has partnered with a company called Sensorium, which will use the latest VR and AI solutions. The Vatican will also work with the Humanity 2.0 Foundation to create the first VR art gallery. While this collaboration is new, the Vatican is a major force in the art world. Its collection includes works by Michelangelo, Dali, Gauguin, and Paul Gauguin. The museum has a history dating back to the 16th century, and its priceless works of art are on display there.
Do you know the Metaverse controller that makes it possible to feel objects in VR?
The idea of a virtual church isn’t new, but the idea of using a VR headset to attend Sunday services has gained steam. In a virtual church, the pastor avatar will lead metaverse users to spiritual places where religious scripts are read and holy events can be experienced. It may range from meditation to immersive church services. It could be a wonderful way to engage with God or just meditate. A representative from the Vatican told Motherboard that NFTs will not profit from the venture.
