Summary
Atlas Reality, Inc. has built a platform that digitally recreates the real world and transforms the digital layer into something that can be owned, improved and traded. The firm pioneered in owning virtual real estate simulating the real world where players can claim land exactly where they are standing in the real world. With Atlas, players get cash back for every parcel of land they own in the Atlas metaverse.
History
Atlas Reality is an augmented reality game developed by the game studio, Atlas Reality Games. The game combines elements of virtual reality, augmented reality, and physical reality to create a unique and immersive gaming experience. Players use their mobile device to explore a virtual world filled with challenges, puzzles, and rewards.
It has a focus on exploration, as players are encouraged to explore the environment in search of hidden items and objectives. The game also includes a social component, allowing players to connect with other players online, as well as complete cooperative challenges. Atlas Reality has been praised for its innovative gameplay, graphics, and sound design.
Its first product, Atlas: Earth, is a new mobile-first gaming experience where you can buy "real world" plots of land on the actual planet.
These plots will pay you virtual rent you can actually cash out. Players will be able to own parcels of land in their local neighborhoods, as well as 3D-modeled landmarks and the land that sits beneath these landmarks. The team is meticulously crafting thousands of landmarks to be represented faithfully in their metaverse. Players will be able to build their virtual real estate empires to earn and cash out rent in real USD.
Mission
According to the company's website, their mission is as follows: “Our mission is to create a fun experience that is the future of cataloguing travel while allowing dedicated players to earn cash back. Every year consumers spend $100B in mobile gaming and millions of hours watching ads. We want to give back by creating a cash-back system powered by games. Players can earn a small amount back as they enjoy our games, which are based on real-world virtual real estate.”
Vision
As per the founder's latest interview with Dinis Guarda:
"Games are closer to digital apps than back in the days of the console and companies should ship it like an e-commerce concept… If adoption of the game is going to be the deciding factor of whether a game fails or succeeds… why isn’t the adoption of the game tested before the title is built or while the game is being conceived?”
For his first foray into gaming, Sami has combined a crowdsourced approach to the development of the game and applying it to what many people think is gaming’s next big frontier — the location.
With Atlas Reailty, Sami pushes the limits of what it means to be a “game”. The virtual real estate product, Atlas: Earth, creates a gamified experience that earns players cash back. By owning parts of the world in which they live, work and play, the company is proving that players care about their “local” status, even in a virtual version of their world.
