We will learn about the creatives behind this project; how to nurture and maintain a community; the story of the Sparks; their phygital technology; the mechanics behind their upcoming minting process; and we will hear their advice on how to make the most of your time at MIT.

FyatLux is integrating AR & NFTs to bring the Metaverse to life, featuring art & characters by @robotpencil.

The Fyat Lux collection will feature 8,080 uniquely generated 3D characters called Sparks. Fyat Lux is the brainchild of some of the world’s foremost experts in AR, NFTs, gaming, and digital art. With roots in the famed MIT Media Lab, and with experience working for Google, Microsoft, Activision Blizzard, Riot, Nintendo, Netflix, Vuforia, Wayfair, Disney and others, their unique team of artists and technologists is committed to making Fyat Lux the most engaging and premium NFT franchises in the world.
