Gazecoin: The virtual currency for virtual world

Introduction

Virtual reality creates a virtual world for us just like the physical world we live in and the good part is we can interact with that simulated world. It uses immersive multimedia, virtually transporting us to another world by controlling our perception. Examples of such devices which let us do this include Facebook's Oculus headgear, Google's google cardboard and HTC's vibe. They all employ a head-mounted display which completely blocks our presence in the real physical world and creates a simulated reality. It has its own advantages and disadvantages but it is very popular among the large latest tech products available in the market. Nearly every major tech company has put their money into it. Reality is nothing but our perception of the physical world that we know exists. We might be in virtual reality or in a simulation.

The augmented reality is the real world which is only supplemented by the use of audio, video or any Computer Generated sensory input. It merely adds value to our real world perception of objects around us by using some digital elements to enhance our experience or interaction. The Google Glass is a good example of an augmented reality product.The AR does not completely transports us to another world but only makes our interaction with the real world more liviler and direct by using digital elements. Many companies such as Apple found it more helpful for their research to create better products or market their content. It is a great tool for marketers and content creators to utilize AR's capability to their own advantage.

The Problem

The AR/VR industry is the hottest industry right now where every major company have invested heavily but without having a solid mechanism for revenue generation it remains unexploited of its full potential. The current system of ROI through ads embedded in the content is not practical and difficult for users. The payment system is still undefined and we can't expect users to pull out their credit cards in between their virtual experience. The lack of an ad metric in the AR/VR content creates ambiguity which forces advertisers to stay away from this AR/ VR world because there is no parameter of measurement of content consumption.

The business models of web and mobile market employed by advertisers and content creators cannot work in AR/VR world where everything you see or touch is potential space for advertisement. Another major issue which affects nearly every market is the reluctance of the users in paying for the content consumed. This problem is a big challenge for major companies in the digital world where every user wants free content.
