Meet The Developer
Hello and thank you for your attention! My name is Erik Del Villar and In 2016, my journey began in a place you might not immediately associate with dinosaur tours: the world of 3D Character Creation/Animation. As a creator of 3D avatars for internet marketers, I realized there was a void that needed to be filled - the avatars being used lacked life and authenticity, thus diminishing the impact of their business messages. I saw an opportunity to provide a unique, enhanced solution.
Over time, the path of creating high-quality 3D avatars led me to unexpected terrains in the AI, VR, AR and Metaverse industries. Since April of 2019, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with three innovative startup companies, all focused on producing interactive and realistic avatars for varied applications such as information kiosks, coding education, and a metaverse experience.
These collaborations, which immersed me deeply into the cutting-edge technologies and creative processes, ignited an idea within me. I envisioned harnessing the power of gaming technology and combining it with interactive 360° virtual tours to create something for businesses to ease their way into learning about and eventually adopting the metaverse for marketing use. Combining these technologies, we can extract all the fun stuff from the metaverse experience and create something highly engaging and practical. While developing our
FIRST EXPERIENCE
, I wanted to include virtual and gaming attractions that were genuinely family friendly.
That's how the Interactive 360° Virtual Dinosaur Museum was born.
In its essence, this project is a synthesis of my six-year journey across industries. It is a manifestation of my learnings, my experiences, and my passion for technology-driven innovation. It brings together the most compelling aspects of a metaverse experience - a sense of presence and immersion - into an accessible, educational, and enthralling platform.
As I share this vision with you, I invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Together, we can contribute to a new era of learning and entertainment, making education not just accessible, but fun and truly alive!
