Mindful Ocean was one of the earliest builders on the Auki Network—they first started exploring our ConjureKit SDK back in December of 2021. 3 years, 2 SDK name changes (it’s now the Auki SDK), and 1 $AUKI token launch later, we’re thrilled to give them a grant to continue their mission!

It’s a mission to save our oceans by cultivating empathy towards marine life through art. With 90% of marine species at risk of extinction, the world is in dire need of more people who care. Only 0.5% of the world population interacts with marine life in person, and naturally those people tend to be more passionate than the rest about protecting our oceans. Mindful Ocean believes that allowing everyone else to interact with digital marine life is the next best thing, not to mention logistically much easier!

They launched the first version of their Auki-powered app last March, featuring the ability to turn any physical space into an immersive underwater experience complete with butterfly fish that users designed themselves and could interact with in AR via hand gestures. It was a fun experience that multiple people could share in real time thanks to their use of our relay server network.

Now they want to level up their AR experience by turning Auki domains into context-aware underwater metaverses that blend more seamlessly into the physical space. Users will be able to carry out missions, find hidden treasures in the sea, and more, all the while having fish that don’t swim through their furniture.

We are so excited to continue our support of Mindful Ocean’s mission with a 750,000 $AUKI token grant. A small portion has been released upfront, and more will be released upon successful completion of domain integration. Of course, part of every grant is burned for network credits to cover their usage of the Auki network, and this part has been burned already.

If you have your own ideas about cool AR and/or robotics applications to build on the Auki Network, don’t hesitate to get in touch and apply for a grant. Otherwise, stay tuned for updates on when you can turn your space into a Mindful Ocean Metaverse!

About Mindful Ocean Metaverse

Mindful Ocean Metaverse is a community art project with a mission to save our ocean. They use blockchain, AI, and AR technology to empower anyone to take part in ocean conservation by making art. Their NFT art creation events nurture mindfulness and promote creativity, enabling anyone to easily create NFT artworks that simulate marine life in a co-created virtual space - the Mindful Ocean Metaverse. Their goals include encouraging more people to make art, exploring the use of Web3 for social changes, and supporting conservationists by cultivating empathy.

アウキ・ラボについて

Aukiはポーズメッシュという地球上、そしてその先の1000億の人々、デバイス、AIのための分散型機械認識ネットワークを構築しています。ポーズメッシュは、機械やAIが物理的世界を理解するために使用可能な、外部的かつ協調的な空間感覚です。

私たちの使命は、人々の相互認知能力、つまり私たちが互いに、そしてAIとともに考え、経験し、問題を解決する能力を向上させることです。人間の能力を拡大させる最も良い方法は、他者と協力することです。私たちは、意識を拡張するテクノロジーを構築し、コミュニケーションの摩擦を減らし、心の橋渡しをします。

ポーズメッシュについて

ポーズメッシュは、分散型で、ブロックチェーンベースの空間コンピューティングネットワークを動かすオープンソースのプロトコルです。

ポーズメッシュは、空間コンピューティングが協調的でプライバシーを保護する未来をもたらすよう設計されています。いかなる組織の監視能力も制限し、空間のプライベートな地図の自己所有権を奨励します。

分散化はまた、特に低レイテンシが重要な共同ARセッションにおいて、競争優位性を有します。ポスメッシュは分散化運動の次のステップであり、成長するテック大手のパワーに対抗するものです。

アウキ・ラボはポスメッシュにより、ポーズメッシュのソフトウェア・インフラの開発を託されました。
