About the Work
adidas originals was losing their connection with the gen-z audience and wanted to use the launch of their Ozworld Collection as a moment to bring them closer together. Our bespoke research indicated that 1 in 3 gen-zers feel that their digital expression is their most authentic self. As an enabler of originality adidas knows the importance of self expression but the options to self express in the metaverse leave much to be desired. You can either use a generic but affordable skin, or an expensive but unique NFT avatar. We decided to break this mold and created the world’s first personality based, AI generated avatar creation platform. A unique, free, interoperable avatar you can take to more than 2.000 metaverse platforms. Using the five factor model of personality we asked users to answer a few intuitive questions so our AI could learn more about their personality and assemble the avatar accordingly. Resulting in six different geometric avatar bases and with 60 different colours, 24 different materials and 12 different add ins we were able to create over 10.000.000 unique avatar variations. More than 510.000 unique avatars were generated organically and with an average time spent with the experience of 05:47 minutes, we found a way to captivate an audience notorious for their short attention span. The virtual concert DPR crew built around the avatars hosted more than 7 million people.
