Immersal App lets you create and share a personal metaverse at your favorite location in a matter of minutes. This is a new and fun way to share your personal digital content like photos and videos tagged into real places and experienced there - and only there. You own the items you share. You own the digital space. You own your personal metaverse. As part of the registration process of the Immersal App you register your account with Immersal. The account allows you to use the Immersal App and its features and to access Immersal cloud services. The creation of your personal metaverse starts by mapping a real-world location that you select using the Immersal App. During the mapping process the photos taken are being sent to Immersal Cloud Service for processing to produce a spatial map of the location you selected for the metaverse. These images will only be used for the map creation process and are not shared with anyone. To create a personal metaverse map you need to have permission of the owner of the location that you map, unless it is a public place. Make sure also, that the content you place in the metaverse is appropriate and you have necessary rights for placing it. You are alone responsible for claims made by anyone regarding your content or your right to place it in your metaverse. By using the Immersal App you accept that Immersal can also place virtual content such as 3d models into your metaverse.
