NARS Cosmetics recently released a futuristic way to try on its products via virtual change rooms. The brand announced a virtual world for Chinese consumers in the city of Hainan China. 'Nonstop NARS Virtual World,' which was built by CircleSquare, will allow users to customize their 'Navatar'--a virtual avatar version of what they imagine themselves as.
There is a makeover room where you can try on NARS products, clothing, and hairstyles. Through this virtual world, there are also ways to earn virtual currency by visiting NARS travel retail locations in real life. There are three rooms in this virtual world, Nonstop Discovery, Nonstop Play, and Nonstop Community.
CircleSquare director Cherifa Ben commented on the project, “Nonstop NARS Virtual World is an important milestone that marks CircleSquare’s venture into the metaverse, and we look forward to being a partner for change with NARS and Shiseido in the future.”
