Step into this extraordinary world, where possibilities are limitless, and creativity knows no bounds.
In the web3allstars August issue, we had the honor of interviewing founder David Richman about his vision for the metaverse project DOM WORLD.
Inspired by the search for meaning in "Home," David aims to create a Phygital ecosystem uniting people globally through Nature + Technology, bringing together physical and digital products to improve human life.
DOM WORLD's founder, David Richman, envisions a place where creativity knows no bounds, and people can freely express themselves while fostering a community of like-minded individuals. "Our mission is to create a place where everyone can embody their dream of Home," says Richman. "We believe that our company will become a meeting point for ideas and realization, where talent meets opportunity."
What inspired the creation of DOM WORLD, and what is the vision for its future?
David Richman: From an early age, I was looking for the answer to the question: "What does Home mean to me?". I remember a day when I first heard kids shouting at the playground: “It’s time to go home”. But under my circumstances at that age, no one called me home or was waiting there. For the first time there, I thought about what HOME is.
Throughout my life, I have been rolling around the world with this question and finding out people’s meaning of what Home means to them. These were my attempts to find my own answer, we even wrote a movie script. At some point in 2020-2021, I realized that I needed to build a Home where people could unleash their potential, and I decided to start building it in the digital space. At that time, this idea seemed wild, metaverses were not in such a hype, and digital spaces for the masses seemed like a myth. In my understanding, the digital space could unite people from around the world faster than the physical one. And we started to think over the concept of the whole world of DOM WORLD. That's when I met our architect Miroslav Naskov and his studio MIND Design. I was impressed by his vision of architecture, it was exactly as I see the future: Nature + Technology.
One of the inspirations, of course, is Jacque Fresco. With the depth of human study and his behaviors, his scientific approach to everything.
In the future, DOM WORLD is a Phygital ecosystem. It's an ecosystem of products and services to improve human life. Both physical and digital products can be beneficial to humans and society. Thanks to partnerships with like-minded companies, we see how this world can come. We start our journey with the digital world and move into the real sector in all corners of the world: community centers, residential complexes, large-scale events, a healthy society, and much more.
DOM WORLD, a digital embodiment, is the world we all want. It's our Playground.
How will DOM WORLD revolutionize digital interactions and shape the future of virtual communities? How does it differ from other current metaverses like Spatial, Journee, and others?
David Richman: The digital world of DOM WORLD is a platform for inspiration. We want to unite creators from around the world, reveal their potential, and realize it. We strive to replace competition with collaboration. Digital interactions and virtual communities are just tools, like the tip of the iceberg. We actively work with leading psychologists and social interaction specialists and develop AI systems for their integration into DOM WORLD. These are far from quick actions, but we believe in the depth and importance of learning.
Speaking of differences, starting with visualization, we are building a world with leading experts in various fields: architecture, clothing, etc. This allows us to be in a high-end world. The depth of the concept, it's not just a digital constructor.
In a technology-driven world, how does DOM WORLD strike a balance between the digital and natural realms?
David Richman: I disagree that the world is driven by technology. Rather, they serve the world.
Initially, a human is a biological component, so the human himself feels the need to take a break from technology and recharge in natural conditions. Events, rest, and live communication is always present in DOM WORLD.
Once, I met a person from the IT industry I was explaining to him about the digital world of DOM WORLD, and he made me think. I got a short answer: it's a digital world, I understand everything without you, but what is the value of the real world?
Nature + Technology
We put nature at the forefront and apply technology to it.
Will DOM WORLD offer phygital experiences, allowing the community to explore offline activities through the metaverse? Especially after the Apple AR Glasses launch, is it part of the offline experience? Do you plan to connect your metaverse to physical locations?
David Richman: Our task is to unite the digital world and the physical one. We are actively looking for locations for physical events in Los Angeles. We are actively negotiating the construction of various facilities in Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, etc.
Regarding construction, parametric architecture are unique objects, they require attention and active communication. We are glad that the ZHA studio is actively promoting the idea of parametric architecture, we can build more such objects around the world.
Projects like David Yan - and his Morpheus are also inspiring to us. We integrate all technologies into the production and interaction process, testing and drawing conclusions.
We are actively building up muscles for such processes.
By the end of 2023, we want to hold an event that will lift the curtain on our DOM WORLD project.
DOM WORLD is redefining value in the metaverse, focusing on growth and interaction. As new features are introduced, users can explore the dynamic world and earn roles like Resident, Creator, and more, thanks to the powerful Karma system. Embrace limitless possibilities with DOM WORLD!
One of the masterminds behind DOM WORLD's awe-inspiring design is Miroslav Naskov, the Head Architect, who aims to blend the digital and natural realms into a seamless experience. The result? A 'phygital' landscape where creativity thrives, where users can immerse themselves in boundless inspiration.
The heart of DOM WORLD lies in its initiatives - the DOM Agency and DOM Lab. The DOM Agency offers comprehensive solutions, catering to the unique needs of users and brands alike, with a focus on technology, content, and creative strategies. Meanwhile, the DOM Lab is the hub of research and development, where groundbreaking technology and Web 3.0 projects are brought to life to shape the future and tackle global challenges.
Explore "Form" - a groundbreaking digital fashion collection by creative director and designer FutureDeconstruction, blending style with artistic parametric architecture.
We had a chance to chat with DESIGNER Igor StarostyUk AKA FUTURE DECONSTRUCTION to talk about the futuristic fashion vision of the "Form" collection and its fusion with architecture, AI, and the metaverse.
How did the aesthetics of parametric architecture influence the design process of the "Form" collection?
Igor Starostyuk: Parametric architecture involves the use of algorithms and computational tools to create complex, dynamic, and often organic architectural designs. While working on the digital collection, we wanted to convey a similar form and atmosphere. We used the real architecture of our DOM island to create clothing details.
Could you elaborate on the role of artificial intelligence in crafting these captivating clothing pieces?
Igor Starostyuk: Artificial intelligence can be a valuable tool in creating concepts for clothing collections and influence the entire design process, but working on the "FORM" collection, it was used only at the concept development stage. Based on the analysis of parametric architecture, AI offered various options for combining fashion and architecture. It was important for us to maintain a sense of realism in clothes and at the same time add organic forms to it. And I believe that we have achieved this.
What message do you hope to convey to fashion enthusiasts through the "Form" collection's fusion of technology and human wisdom?
Igor Starostyuk: "Form" is not just a collection of clothes; it is a reflection of a new understanding of fashion and its role in our future. We aim to convey an important message to you about the symbiosis of technology and human wisdom, and the potential to create not only beautiful designs but also a positive impact on the world. We learn from nature and traditions, but also from modern technologies, striving to evolve and blend with the surrounding world.
Igor Starostyuk: The "Form" collection and “DOM” project is meant to inspire you and encourage contemplation about the kind of future world we are building. We believe in the power of human imagination and innovation and know that only by joining forces with technology can we create a more sustainable, beautiful, and inspiring future for all of us.
