Proven Success

Our Metaverse Projects in Action

Client Overview

A global luxury fashion brand (>$1B ARR) looking to engage a younger, digitally-native audience and create a novel e-commerce channel.

"Errna didn't just build a virtual store; they created a destination. The level of detail and the seamless integration with our inventory system were beyond our expectations."

- Chloe Wells, Chief Digital Officer, "Aura" Fashion Group

Problem

The client's traditional e-commerce platform was experiencing high bounce rates and low engagement from Gen Z consumers. They needed a way to translate their brand's physical store experience into the digital realm to capture this demographic.

Key Challenges

  • Creating photorealistic 3D models of their entire clothing line.
  • Integrating with their existing SAP inventory and e-commerce backend.
  • Ensuring a smooth, high-performance experience on web and mobile.
  • Developing a compelling reason for users to visit and return.

Our Solution

We developed a persistent, browser-based virtual flagship store. Users could explore the beautifully designed space, interact with AI-powered stylists, try on clothes on their custom avatars, and attend exclusive virtual fashion shows.

  • Built a 3D asset pipeline to convert product photos into optimized 3D models.
  • Developed a custom API to sync the virtual store's inventory with the client's SAP system in real-time.
  • Created an NFT-based loyalty program, rewarding visitors with exclusive digital wearables.
  • Hosted a live-streamed virtual concert within the store for the grand opening.

Client Overview

A Fortune 500 industrial manufacturing company needing to train 10,000+ technicians globally on complex new machinery safely and cost-effectively.

"The VR training simulation has been a game-changer. Our technicians are better prepared, our training costs are down, and we've seen a measurable reduction in workplace accidents."

- Mason Brock, VP of Global Operations, "Axon Industrial"

Problem

Traditional hands-on training was expensive, logistically challenging to scale globally, and posed safety risks. They needed a standardized, repeatable, and safe training method that was as effective as in-person instruction.

Key Challenges

  • Creating a 1:1 accurate digital twin of a 10-ton piece of machinery.
  • Simulating realistic physics and operational failures.
  • Developing a learning management system to track trainee progress and proficiency.
  • Deploying the solution across multiple VR headsets and company sites.

Our Solution

We built a high-fidelity VR digital twin of the machinery. The multi-user simulation allows an instructor to guide multiple trainees through complex repair and maintenance procedures in a shared virtual space, regardless of their physical location.

  • Used original CAD files and photogrammetry to create a perfectly accurate 3D model.
  • Programmed over 50 unique failure scenarios and corresponding repair protocols.
  • Integrated a backend dashboard for managers to monitor completion rates and test scores.
  • Designed an intuitive, hands-on control scheme using VR controllers for realistic interaction.

Client Overview

A well-funded music-tech startup aiming to disrupt the live music industry by creating a decentralized platform for virtual concerts and fan engagement.

"Errna's blockchain expertise was critical. They built a platform that not only hosts amazing virtual shows but also creates a real, fan-owned economy around the artists we love."

- Jace Holloway, Founder & CEO, "RhythmVerse"

Problem

Artists lose a significant portion of their revenue to intermediaries like ticket vendors and streaming platforms. The startup wanted to create a metaverse venue where artists could perform, connect directly with fans, and keep a larger share of their earnings.

Key Challenges

  • Streaming high-quality audio and motion-captured video to thousands of users simultaneously.
  • Building a secure, on-chain ticketing system using NFTs.
  • Designing a DAO structure for community governance.
  • Creating a vibrant marketplace for artist-branded digital merchandise.

Our Solution

We built "RhythmVerse," a Web3 music metaverse platform. The core of the platform is a customizable concert venue where artists can perform live via motion capture. Fans attend as avatars, purchase NFT tickets, and buy digital merchandise, with most of the revenue going directly to the artist via smart contracts.

  • Developed a proprietary video streaming protocol optimized for low latency in a 3D environment.
  • Created an ERC-1155 smart contract for flexible NFT ticketing (e.g., GA, VIP, Backstage Pass).
  • Implemented a DAO where holders of the platform's governance token can vote on which artists to feature.
  • Built a marketplace for NFT wearables and emotes co-created by artists and fans.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost varies significantly based on complexity. A simple proof-of-concept or a small virtual space might start around $50,000. A full-scale, custom metaverse platform with blockchain integration, an NFT economy, and AI features can range from $300,000 to well over $1 million. We work with you to define a clear scope and often recommend a phased approach, starting with an MVP to validate the concept and manage budget.

Timelines depend on the scope. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) for a virtual world or game can often be developed in 4-6 months. A more complex, feature-rich platform can take 9-18 months or longer. Our agile process focuses on delivering value in iterative sprints, so you can begin testing and gathering user feedback early in the development cycle.

Both are excellent game engines, and the choice depends on the project's specific needs. Unreal Engine 5 is often preferred for projects requiring the highest level of visual fidelity and photorealism. Unity is known for its flexibility, strong cross-platform support (especially for mobile and AR), and a vast asset store that can accelerate development. Our team is expert in both, and we'll recommend the best engine for your unique vision.

Not necessarily, but they are powerful tools for creating true digital ownership, interoperability, and robust economies. If your goal is to allow users to own, trade, and monetize assets (like land, wearables, or art), then blockchain and NFTs are essential. For corporate training simulations or private virtual headquarters, a centralized database may be sufficient. We help you determine the right architecture based on your business model.

We build for scale from day one. Our approach involves using cloud-native infrastructure (like AWS or Azure), microservices architecture, and technologies like Kubernetes for container orchestration. We also employ advanced techniques like spatial partitioning and server sharding to distribute the load, ensuring a smooth experience even with thousands of concurrent users in the same environment.

ROI can be measured in several ways. For e-commerce and gaming, it's direct revenue from the sale of virtual goods, NFTs, and tickets. For corporate applications, ROI comes from cost savings (reduced travel and training expenses) and increased efficiency. For brands, it's measured in enhanced engagement, brand loyalty, and access to new markets. We work with you to define clear KPIs to track the success and financial return of your investment.
