Happy Nation – The Metaverse

Already at the beginning of our journey, while developing the concept behind wellyou, testing its programs, and implementing improvements based on user feedback, we knew that a smartphone app would always be relatively limited in fostering emotions and real-life experiences. 

Given the right technology, our programs would be able to transform into the powerful experiences that they ought to be. We now know that the necessary technology is around the corner. Implementing the values of Happy Nation into environments provided by augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR) allows us to create truly immersive and interactive experiences. We plan to integrate/merge 3D assets into the wellyou app. For example, if participants are in the gratitude week of the program, they can experience a professor teaching them about the benefits of expressing gratitude as they sit in their living room using Mixed Reality. 

The metaverse will be its own entity of Happy Nation. People can take part in metaverse activities without participating in a wellyou program. 

This is the bigger vision of Happy Nation, a place in real life and digital space where people commit to doing good for themselves and others. It’s an immersive experience, a place to go to, a Nation that is fully dedicated to boosting wellbeing and happiness. Though the metaverse is in its infancy, developments are reaching top speeds. Estimates cited from the 2022 McKinsey & Company report on Value Creation in the Metaverse noted that over $120 billion was invested in 2022 alone. Web3 and blockchain technologies open the doors to immersive and interactive experiences that will change human experiences forever.
