Very cool work is carried. Check it!



This is the work which I liked in this DESIGN FESTA! most.

leather face pendant










All works seem to be handmade.

Therefore both the form and the colors were different one by one.

However, the pendant are 2,500 yen! It's reasonable!

Synthe

"Synthe" of new Metaerse did raunch in Japan.

The main characteristic of Synthe ......

* A user can import modeling data
* A user can make avatar and clothes
* A user can make a casual game in the world

In addition, the graphic design is Japanese style. （A beautiful girl[Bisyojyo] cartoon taste）

A closed β test is performed on May 16 and 17th.




























The profit model of this service seems to be a fee with UGC and sale of the virtual currency.

Possibly seem to be a Japanese version of IMVU.

I expect it in this Synthe.
