retro-futuristic miyagi block 1 xr headset
In a world of sleek, minimalist technology, Miyagi presents a bold departure with the Block 1 XR headset, a device that is as much a design statement as it is a powerful tool for spatial computing. The Block 1 is a deliberate nod to retro-futurism, blending the chunky, sculptural forms of early electronic devices with the polished finishes of contemporary design. This aesthetic choice is more than just stylistic; it creates an object that is both visually and physically engaging, designed to be a desirable piece of technology that users will be proud to own and display.

spatial creation headset
At its core, the Miyagi Block 1 XR headset is a powerful tool for spatial creation, powered by a decentralized AI that generates a wide array of spatial imagery, from static objects to complex, immersive environments. The headset is equipped with advanced space and object mapping, enabling it to understand and interact with the user’s physical surroundings. This spatial awareness is complemented by hand-tracking technology for natural and intuitive interaction, as well as controllers for more precise control. Users can create through both voice and text prompts, making the technology accessible to a broad range of creative workflows.

burn to claim headset NFT
The project is pioneering a new model of ownership through an innovative crowdfunding approach. Supporters can mint a headset NFT, which acts as both a reservation and proof of ownership. This digital token will be ‘burned’ to redeem the physical headset when it ships. This ‘burn to claim’ mechanism intrinsically ties the hardware to the blockchain from day one.

The Miyagi Block 1 headset is also paired with a decentralized web application where users can view their minted creations. This platform offers an inclusive path for those without the headset, allowing them to use the project’s native token to create imagery and broadening the ecosystem of participants. This approach positions the Block 1 not just as a piece of hardware but as the entry point to a vibrant, decentralized creative community.
