🎵 Music to our ears. Decentraland has revealed plans for its second annual Metaverse Music Festival, slated to take place between November 10-13. Last year, over 50K unique attendees shimmied onto DCL's digital dancefloor, and this year's celebration will feature newly-introduced emotes in addition to wearables. Let's boogie down with some important details from the announcement.

▪️ Regardless of your music preferences, you're bound to find a name on the lineup that speaks to you. Whether you want to pump your fists with Dillon Francis, crank that with Soulja Boy, or bang your virtual head with Ozzy freaking Osbourne, the DCL team cast an impressively wide net that's sure to attract a diverse audience.

▪️ The festival is leveraging partnerships to level up the experience — perhaps most notably alongside LimeWire. The iconic P2P music sharing (*cough-pirating-cough*) platform has since pivoted to a music NFT marketplace, proving a much better deal for artists who will receive 90% of primary sale revenue.

📦 DCL has secured its place in the open metaverse as arguably the destination to host major fashion and music events, and it's no coincidence that this has coincided with an increase in hybrid events post-COVID. The MVMF announcement comes at a perfect time — despite ongoing questions about active users visiting the platform, it's undeniable that Decentraland shines brightest when flagship activations are giving people a reason to visit.

💬 Just say the word. We all know how overwhelming it can be to design your dream digital space...imagine if you could simply speak your vision into existence in a matter of moments. Mona's new AI Material Designer will create any material texture based solely on text prompts you provide, à la DALL-E. The metaverse is a magical place indeed, and AI will undoubtedly play a role in helping unlock its full potential.

7 Ways Augmented Reality (AR) Will Change Your Life This Decade — parcel.so

Practical Augmented Reality applications are on the horizon, here's how it will impact your day-to-day.

🎨 Creator Spotlight (Buildathon Ed.)

Builder: CAA LABS

Background: 3D Designer/Architect

Category: Meeting Space

Entry Name: Beehive Tower

Q: Describe your conceptual process.

A: An original rock floats in the air. Although split into two, it is born with virtual and solid. In the solid part of the rock, there are rich levels of gathering spaces and air stands...simultaneously. The virtual rock wall becomes the main visual focus of the space. The glass curtain integrates lighting and digital screen, allowing people to have a full view of the outdoor landscape from inside

Q: What’s an aspect of your build that might go unnoticed by the untrained eye?

A: The honeycomb-like shape of the tower body, composed of countless ordered arrays of floating islands in the air, stands there like a monument in solemn silence. A spiral staircase connects the islands like a giant maze, and there is an even faster and more convenient transportation system — a hexagonal platform suspended from the center of the tower.
