WISeKey and Pauli Team Up
to Launch the First Ever NFT in 3D (without any glasses!)
Geneva, Switzerland – July 6, 2023 – WISeKey International Holding Ltd (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a Swiss based cyber security, IoT, AI platform company, today announced that it has teamed up Philipp-Emmanuel Pauli, a young photographer and drone operator prodigy who studies at La Garenne School in Chesières (Vaud) for the first ever NFTs in 3D. Using the latest light field technology brought recently to market by the Brooklyn-based start-up Looking Glass (LookingGlassFactory.com), the buyers of these première NFTs will have the unique opportunity to enjoy his/her NFT-in-3D without any glasses or headsets.
The NFTs will be unveiled at the WISeKey offices in Geneva on July 11, 2023 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm (local time) with interventions by Carlos Moreira and Philipp-Emmanuel Pauli.
Philipp-Emmanuel presents the world’s first 5 NFTs in 3D under the title “Look Me in The Eye”. The pictures were selected from an exceptional collection of photos shot on 4 continents. The NFTs in 3D were photographed in Colombia (bird), Morocco (boy and lizard), Switzerland (cat), La Garenne School (self-portrait) and The Maldives (bat). A preview of the NFTs in 2D can be viewed at <NFT-in-3D.com>
The magic of the pictures lies in the extensive travel to reach exceptional locations, each photograph required unmeasurable patience to click at the right moment, and the art of editing in 3D, a novel technique only a few master today, since the novelty of the software. Philipp-Emmanuel – then just 9 years old – first enjoyed the experimental 3D screen technology in 2019 when Looking Glass launched the world’s largest 3D holographic display in Tokyo (Japan). Since then, this 3D technology has improved and outpaced all competitors. Its commercialization is opening a completely new experience to the world. Now that 20,000 displays have been sold, a new set of products and services in 3D will come on the market, hence the timely arrival of the NFT-in-3D.
The young photographer started operating drones at the age of 6, turned to photography when he was 10, and demonstrated his unique eye for beauty and passion. Pedro Sandoval, the Venezuelan artist and a master of NFTs (Instagram “PedroSandovalArtist” with 1.5 million followers) hosted Philipp-Emmanuel twice at his studio in Madrid and inspired him to study NFTs. When Philipp-Emmanuel toured the laboratories of Shawn Frayne in Brooklyn, NY, the 3D screens pioneer who co-started Looking Glass Philipp-Emmanuel immediately challenged himself i.e.: to transpose his best photography and video into full 3D imager for the whole family to enjoy. This ends solitary confinement for VR or AR enthusiasts.
Currently, the PEP NFT collection can be viewed in 2D only on the WISe.ART platform. However, Phillip-Emmanuel offers for the launch of the world’s first NFT-in-3D that the first buyers of the 5 NFTs in 3D will receive a Looking Glass’ portrait with the full 3D screen for free! The NFT collector(s) can also acquire at a specially discounted price the 32- and/or 65-inch screens for the overwhelming 3D presentation of his/her NFT under phenomenal conditions. Interested parties can also witness the NFT in 3D at the WISeKey offices in Geneva and the Looking Glass Studio in Brooklyn, NY after the unveiling on July 11.
The buyers of each NFT in 3D will write history and will always be recognized as the world’s first. The buyers will get, in addition to the NFT in 3D, a print of the picture, signed by the photographer including a certificate of authenticity.
The WISE.ART NFT platform is secured by WISeKey’s various security technologies enabling the authentication of digital ID and proof of ownership on the blockchain. NFTs secure valuables physical objects as well as digital assets, in a safe end-to-end process. A new age has arrived where 3D can be appreciated by everyone without any gadgets or devices. Because interest in NFTs accelerates and everyone aspires to 3D, WISeKey is committed to promoting the advent of this avant-garde innovation.
“It will be up to the new generation symbolized by Philipp-Emmanuel to pave the road to NFTs in 3D in the future,” said Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO of WISekey.
