Inspiration 🎨✨

I always found traditional art galleries a bit... unengaging. What if we could reimagine artworks as living, interactive entities instead of static pieces? That's the vision behind MonaChat VR! Imagine chatting with the Mona Lisa, or having a conversation with Van Gogh's Starry Night. And the best part? All the art is on-chain, so you can access these interactions from anywhere in the world! 🌍💫

What it Does 🖼️🤖

MonaChat VR transforms classic and AI-generated artworks into interactive, AI-powered entities within a stunning VR environment. Users can chat with famous artworks, learn about their history, and explore their significance in a whole new way. Each interaction is recorded on the blockchain, ensuring authenticity and accessibility from anywhere! 🎭🔗

How We Built It 🛠️🚀

  • Polygon Smart Contract: 🧩 Provides the necessary AI prompts, object positions, sizes, file links, owner information, and other details to render objects in VR in real-time.
  • Mona Unity Wallet SDK: 🛍️ Used to obtain collectibles from Mona and their .glb files, seamlessly integrating digital assets into the VR environment.
  • Gemini API: 🧠 Powers the AI-driven responses, allowing users to have rich, interactive conversations with their digital assets.
  • Unity Engine: 🌌 Renders 3D objects in a VR environment, simulating real-time physics and interactions to create a truly immersive experience.

Challenges We Ran Into 🧗‍♂️🔧

  • Mona Unity Wallet: Getting wallet connect to work in VR was tricky! We found a clever workaround by casting to PC the first time you connect. 🎮💡

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of 🏆🎉

  • Our first fully on-chain VR project involving 3D assets! 🎊🚀
  • Successfully rendering 3D assets in real-time in VR with correct physics. It’s like bringing a whole new world to life! 🌟🏞️

What's Next for MonaChat VR 🔮🚀

  • Expand the collection of AI-interactive artworks. 🖌️🖼️
