Scuderia 1918 and FISE together on digital innovation, gamification and new communication frontiers in equestrian sports.
It is innovative, it is avantgarde in virtual technology and it is continuously evolving. In recent months we have all heard about the Metaverse, but what does that mean nowadays?
Metaverse means a digital world destined to host shared experiences so as to revolutionise the world of gaming, of social networks and entertainment through the blockchain, where games and real-life merge in an interactive scenario with incredible yet to be explored potential. All users, through their own avatars, can establish relationships and friendships and create virtual communities, hence groups of people who share the same interests.
The Metaverse represents an innovative marketing means for enhancing the community’s engagement and increase awareness through gamification. These are no longer just static contents but online and offline experiences in which the user becomes the lead player interacting and playing directly with the brand.
It is a universe made of various planets in which in November 2021 Scuderia 1918 decided to create the first equestrian Metaverse. A land in which the team’s community can meet, attend exclusive events with top riders, play and come into direct contact with the champions of this wonderful and unique sport in which the leading players are the horses. It provides an opportunity to get to know them and share one’s own experiences with horse lovers from all over the world.
Scuderia 1918 hosts the Piazza di Siena Metaverse
At the famous Roman horse show, Scuderia 1918 signs a partnership with the FISE (Italian Equestrian Sports Federation) and Sport e Salute, hosting Piazza di Siena 2022 in its land. It is a Metaverse with at its centre the historical grass oval in which it will be possible to watch the entire show in live streaming, take part in a real treasure hunt with wonderful prizes and also compete in a Quiz on the show’s history. The person who is the quickest to answer will win unique Scuderia 1918 experiences and products.
There will be a corner of Piazza di Siena reserved to e-sport and the Metaverse of the equestrian world.
This corner will include:
– One or more PC posts with direct access to the Piazza di Siena Metaverse in The Nemesis platform.
– An iPad post in which it will be possible to test oneself in e-sports using the
Equestrian videogame, which is the FEI’s official game.
