As its name suggests, The Meeting Place is a destination for physical work and leisure and people can use it to host everything from [virtual events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hyperscape-capture) to quick chats. As the project manifesto details, "After years of virtual meetings and video calls, countless people working from home feel disconnected, uninspired, and detached. Despite being three-dimensional creatures, we continue to operate behind our two-dimensional screens, and one thing remains certain: we have not fully figured out how to connect virtually.” Created by designer Benny Or Studio and artist Cyril Lancelin, the NFT is integrated with 3D design and AR/VR platform Spatial. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Virtual Reality Architecture:** The Meeting Place NFT showcases the potential of virtual reality as an architectural design platform, presenting an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the field of building and construction. - **Virtual Networking:** The Meeting Place NFT emphasizes the need for improved virtual networking and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the field of social media and digital communications. - **Virtual Events:** The Meeting Place NFT highlights the potential of virtual reality for hosting events and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the event and entertainment industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The Meeting Place NFT demonstrates the potential of virtual reality as an architectural design platform and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the building and construction industry. - **Social Media:** The Meeting Place NFT highlights the need for improved virtual networking and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the field of social media and digital communications. - **Events and Entertainment:** The Meeting Place NFT showcases the potential of virtual reality for hosting events and presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation within the event and entertainment industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D Virtual Conference Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytaverse.md) - [Virtual Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial.md) - [Interactive Virtual Meeting Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-mesh.md) - [Hybridized Metaverse Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-platform.md) - [NFT-Integrated Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phenom.md) - [Phygital NFT Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enklu.md) - [Immersive Virtual Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timmerse.md) - [AR Virtual Space Hangouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-hyperscape-capture.md) - [Virtual Hangout Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-clubhouse.md)
