PROJECT OVERVIEW
Product: Omniscape, a Metaverse platform that blends Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) experiences, linking them to real-world locations
Company Name: Transmira, Inc.
Industry: XR/Metaverse, Identity, Digital Marketing, Smart Cities, Real Estate
Website URL:
Geographic Reach: Global (with activations in cities like Miami, Las Vegas, and more)
BSV Integration Start Date: Circa 2020
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Inefficiencies or Risks:
Traditional AR/VR and Web3 applications suffered from isolated ecosystems, unreliable data tracking, limited real-world utility, and monetization barriers. Brands struggled to connect virtual experiences to tangible customer actions in the physical world.
Why Traditional Systems Were Insufficient:
Centralized platforms lacked scalability, trust, and interoperability. AR and VR apps were largely siloed, limiting their use in commerce, marketing, and identity-based engagement. Additionally, most blockchain networks couldn't handle the transaction volume or speed required for real-time immersive environments.
WHY BSV?
Ideal Solution Factors:
BSV offered fast, low-cost transactions, high scalability, and a stable protocol. These attributes were essential for Omniscape’s real-time, global XR metaverse with frequent microtransactions and tokenized assets.
Comparison to Other Blockchains:
Transmira evaluated various blockchain protocols. BSV was ultimately chosen due to its unmatched transaction throughput, minimal fees (often fractions of a penny), and ability to support massive data volumes at scale—essential for geolocation-based XR features and tokenized real-world assets.
SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
Overview:
Omniscape is an XR metaverse platform blending AR, VR, IoT, and AI, powered by BSV. It enables users to interact with digital twins of real-world objects and locations, tokenize assets, and redeem virtual goods for physical items.
Key Components:
Data Logging: IoT integration allows sensor data (e.g., from smart appliances or urban infrastructure) to be visualized and secured on-chain.
Tokenization: 3D objects (e.g., coffee cups, real estate, avatars) are tokenized and linked to real-world value.
Identity: Users can scan and tokenize avatars, linking them to secure on-chain identities.
Virtual Real Estate: Real-world geographic locations are tokenized and tradable as metaverse real estate.
Experiential Marketing: Brands drop branded 3D items (like tacos or sneakers) in physical locations, redeemable via the app.
Partners:
Collaborations include support from Fabriik, and BSV Blockchain Association ecosystem initiatives.
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
Rollout Phases:
Initial beta testing and limited brand campaigns (e.g., in Miami)
Progressive feature rollout: MetaPets, Digital Twins, Avatar Registry
Expanding to city-scale digital twin projects (e.g., casinos, retail environments)
System Integration:
Built to integrate with retail systems, payment processors, and real-world redemption partners.
Onboarding:
Educating partners (brands, businesses) about XR and blockchain utility, with a focus on simplicity—consumers don’t need wallets or crypto knowledge.
OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT
Quantifiable Improvements:
Enhanced brand engagement through gamified AR campaigns
Increased physical store visits via virtual object redemptions
New monetization models for digital assets, avatars, and virtual real estate
Before vs After:
Traditional digital ads offered low engagement; Omniscape’s campaigns led to real-world foot traffic and tangible sales (e.g., taco/pizza redemption events).
Stakeholder Feedback:
Brands appreciated simplified onboarding and the ability to run immersive, trackable, and high-ROI marketing campaigns with minimal blockchain friction.
CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS
Challenges:
Misunderstanding of the metaverse concept by businesses and consumers
Need for a seamless user experience without exposing blockchain complexity
Mitigations:
Built-in abstraction layer: users don’t need crypto knowledge or wallets
Lean, scalable infrastructure on BSV allows seamless global deployment
FUTURE VISION
Expansion Plans:
Scale digital twin projects across global smart cities
Broaden virtual real estate marketplace
Expand avatar-based AI assistants and MetaPets
Planned Features:
Deeper integration of micropayments
Expanded NFT and tokenized asset offerings
Enhanced identity and reputation systems using BSV
