Non-fungible token (NFT)-based fantasy game and marketplace Sorare has recently announced its latest innovation in the form of 3D digital football player cards with integrated augmented reality (AR) capabilities. This exciting development is set to revolutionize the Sorare Football universe as it enters the 2023-24 season.
The 3D digital player cards will be accessible through Sorare’s web and mobile apps, initially launching on iOS. Users, also known as Managers, will have the unique opportunity to interact with these cards in the real world via the app. This immersive experience will bring a whole new level of excitement and engagement for football fans.
Redefining the Fan Experience
Sorare’s objective with the introduction of 3D digital player cards is to redefine the boundaries between physical and digital fandom, reinventing the traditional act of collecting football cards. Each player card will feature a bespoke frame specially designed for Europe’s top leagues, including the Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga, and Serie A.
The Premier League cards, for instance, will be released on the marketplace starting from September 13. According to a tweet from the Premier League, these cards will be “3D, interactive, and tangible in real life,” adding to the overall excitement surrounding this innovative development.
The team at Sorare has meticulously designed the cards to make them visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing in 3D. The background designs have been carefully created to make each card stand out, thanks to dynamic reflections and lighting effects. Furthermore, the inclusion of a frame connecting the front and back of the card adds depth, giving it a three-dimensional aspect that enhances the overall tangible quality.
A Blend of Design and Information
Sorare has organized the card information into two distinct sections to provide users with a comprehensive overview. The top section displays league and season data, while the bottom section presents detailed player data. One crucial element in the card design is player photography, a significant contributor to the overall appeal of each card.
In order to ensure scalability, thousands of cards are minted each season. Moving forward, the team aims to introduce special edition cards with unique photography. However, they acknowledge that this is a complex project that requires careful consideration in terms of scalability.
Prior to the launch of these innovative 3D digital player cards, Sorare has thrilled fans with another exciting event – the 3D Card Virtual Treasure Hunt. This treasure hunt takes place across three cities and involves participants searching for the key to an Ethereum wallet. This master password, consisting of 12 words, needs to be arranged in the correct order to unlock the wallet and withdraw the cards.
The first person to successfully complete the treasure hunt before October 10 will be rewarded with an AC Milan prize package. This incredible prize includes the opportunity to fly with the team and attend one of their European matches, complete with VIP tickets.
