Smart overview of the Invention

The proposed method focuses on authenticating garments using Smart Tags that are linked to unique Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) within a blockchain framework. Each physical garment is paired with an NFT, which is verified through blockchain technology. The integration of these smart tags, equipped with unique identification data, enhances the user experience by incorporating Augmented Reality (AR) elements for multi-user interactions.

Field of Innovation

This technology intersects the fields of augmented reality, blockchain, and NFTs, specifically targeting the authentication of garments. By leveraging smart tags along with AR or hyper-reality features, it aims to provide enriched user experiences and facilitate interactions among multiple users.

Background Context

The digitalization of physical goods is advancing rapidly, allowing users to engage in immersive experiences through AR. Smart tags, such as RFID or NFC, enhance functionality and interactivity in physical products. NFTs serve as unique digital assets that establish ownership and authenticity, creating a secure method for users to enjoy hyper-reality experiences linked to their physical items.

Key Features of the System

  • The smart tags are designed to withstand everyday wear and tear while providing unique identification for each garment.
  • Users can authenticate garments using smartphones or AR glasses, establishing a direct connection between the physical item and its NFT.
  • A dedicated mobile application coordinates interactions and displays digital representations of garments in augmented reality.

Enhanced User Engagement

The system promotes user engagement through gamification elements like rewards and leaderboards based on interactions with digital avatars or real individuals. Additionally, the physical clothing can generate a hyper-reality field when powered by an energy-efficient source, allowing users to experience augmented environments through compatible AR devices. This innovative approach not only authenticates garments but also enriches user experiences in both physical and virtual realms.
