Brought to life by Xavatar’s proprietary IP, created by AI-based, real-time animation technology, this multimedia production crosses platforms using storytelling, mixed with gamified experiences within a social connected Metaverse. This allows the audience to actively participate with celebrities talking about movies and music, explore the show’s environments, play theme-related games, connect with other audience members, and enjoy 3D retail shopping throughout. With Fexco’s help, Xavatar will launch a digital wallet and token, providing a safe, easy transaction system throughout the Xataverse, As well as real-world shopping and entertainment experiences.

“When we envisioned the concept of the Xataverse and the accompanying payment system, Fexco helped us to understand the mechanics and together, we were able to integrate what this process will be for the greater ecosystem that encapsulates our immersive experience of The Xataverse. We feel this revolutionary tool will allow people the opportunity to best interact with our show 'The Art of Movie Music' and our other upcoming offerings, both in the digital and real world and ultimately save everyone time and money. Xavatar couldn’t have a better partner than Fexco on this exciting journey,” said Kevin Sharpley COO/Founder Xavatar.
