Introducing the Ethernaal AltspaceVR Museum
In February, we have created our first official virtual museum, at AltspaceVR.
Looking for innovations to interact with tattoo and NFT enthusiasts, our virtual museum in the AltspaceVR platform is a nice step on our way into the metaverse. We tell you everything about it!
Ethernaal and Metaverse
Ethernaal has been interested since the beginning in different ways to meet the community and how to share the fantastic work of our artists.
So, in addition to meeting you at various trade shows, as described in our last article here, we have opened wide the door to the metaverse, a multitude of virtual worlds!
On October 2021, we work on our first internal test for a virtual museum via the platform The Nemesis . This website allowing to explore several worlds directly from your web browser! It’s an incredible project, and we are still working on it. Not released for now.
In parallel to this first test, we decided to push the experience even further to allow you to live it through a virtual reality headset, for the lucky ones and the curious ones who own a headset.
From November to February, work was underway for the construction of this museum.You can see or rewatch the video of the museum structure under construction on the tweet below.
We are building our #metaverse Museum at the speed of light. We’ll distribute some special #POAP to early adopters for a special access to our private bar… and special guests…🍸

AltspaceVR Museum
At first, a small description of the platform we use! AltspaceVR is a virtual space where it is possible to visit places, accompanied or not by other people, in virtual reality thanks to an adapted helmet, like the Meta (Oculus) Quest or the Valve Index.
You can do a lot of things in the world of AltspaceVR! Live shows, events, meetings, viewing videos with others, manipulating 3D objects… AltspaceVR even hosted the first One Man Show in virtual reality!
AltspaceVR was acquired by Microsoft in 2017 for integrate the Mixed Reality division, alongside HoloLens .
Here is the list of the different compatible headsets to access this world:
The HTC Vive, the Oculus Rift, the Oculus Rift S Go, the Meta (Oculus) Quest 1 and 2 and … a computer!
Yeah, that’s right! A 2D mode is available for those who don’t have a VR headset yet, by downloading the Altspace VR application on your PC. That’s why we organized, for the opening of our Ethernaal museum, a pleasant giveaway with a Meta Quest 2 to win! For this, the goal was to take a picture of your virtual avatar in front of one of the NFTs present in the museum!
Community is important for us and we’ll organize more giveaway in the future…
