SURREAL engineers the world's largest pixel-streamed event to date with eDAO for India's largest e-Commerce giant
ATLANTA and BANGALORE, India, Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- SURREAL, the world's most practical metaverse platform, announced today that it partnered with eDAO – an immersive Web3 commerce infrastructure for brands, creators, IP and communities – to launch 'Flipverse,' an immersive, high-fidelity and pixel-streamed experience for Flipkart, the largest eCommerce platform in India. Flipverse enabled shoppers to explore 100+ products and offers from 13 brands from the Flipkart ecosystem.
Built with Epic Games' Unreal Engine, Flipverse is a photorealistic metaverse, purpose-built to connect Flipkart's fans to the retailer, offering engaging experiences that feel more like a AAA video game than an online shopping experience. Users customize their digital identities as avatars through the Flipkart app and participate in unique games to unlock new e-commerce prizes and experiences.
The seven-day 'Flipverse' event was the single highest attended event for a pixel-streamed metaverse activation, with 103,561 unique accounts created over the week-long activation. Nearly half of registered users – 46,471 – loaded into the Flipverse experience, of which 46% spent more than an hour in the metaverse. Likewise, overall average dwell times – between 7.5 and 10 minutes – represent a 1000% increase over comparable past campaigns. In addition, more than 1,000 users collected a unique coupon code and used them to make purchases, a conversion rate of more than 5%. Lastly, every item displayed in the Flipverse was clicked on and interacted with by participants.
"Brands like Flipkart are charting new territories with their practical, value-creating forays into Web3 technologies, thanks to eDAO, which seamlessly bridges tech and culture in a new business paradigm," said Josh Rush, Co-Founder and CEO of SURREAL. "Flipverse stands in contrast to the lonely worlds built on flash and hype by bringing a real, tangible opportunity to connect with consumers like never before."
"Our partnership with SURREAL has led to the breaking down of barriers between brands and their customers," said Anand Venkateswaran, Co-Founder and CEO of eDAO. "Flipverse has set new benchmarks in the quality and metrics for customer engagement in commerce; the genie is out of the bottle now."
The Flipverse's rich, immersive experiences will usher in a new era for Flipkart, enabling consumer engagement and retention and letting brands and e-commerce platforms convert buyers to consumers, and consumers to fans.
