The invention addresses garment authentication by integrating smart tags with Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to offer augmented or hyper-reality experiences. The primary technology involves RFID or NFC tags, although other communication technologies may be used. These tags contain unique identification data for each garment, ensuring durability through washing and drying cycles. Strategically placed within clothing, they play a crucial role in identifying garment type and authenticity.
One aspect involves a system that monitors garment authenticity by linking physical garments to smart tags and NFTs. These can be authenticated using devices like smartphones or AR glasses, providing a direct connection between the garment and its NFT. The NFC tag ensures both the physical and digital authenticity of products, allowing users to verify the genuineness of their purchases.
The invention also includes a user interaction component where scanning smart tags launches an application or URL, facilitating data sharing via NFC. A mobile application is essential for coordinating interactions and displaying digital garments in augmented reality. After authentication, the smartphone can render digital garments over the physical attire, enhancing user experience.
Additionally, a software application links physical clothing to gaming experiences, offering rewards, leaderboards, and social interactions. Users earn points by scanning individuals wearing the garments or engaging with digital avatars in virtual environments. These points can be redeemed for physical or digital clothing through official channels.
Another aspect involves generating a hyper-reality field using the tag when connected to a power source like a rechargeable battery or an energy-efficient chip. This field creates a localized augmented reality environment when viewed through compatible AR devices, enriching user interactions with the augmented surroundings.
