Meta inks partnership with VNTANA for 3D ads in step towards the metaverse
Meta Platforms Inc will make it easier for
brands to run three-dimensional ads on its Facebook and Instagram social
media platforms through a new partnership with an ecommerce technology firm.
The integration with VNTANA will allow brands to upload the 3D models of their
products to Facebook and Instagram and easily
convert them into ads, VNTANA said on Thursday in a press release.
The move is a stepping stone into advertising in the metaverse,
said VNTANA Chief Executive Ashley Crowder, referring to the futuristic idea of
a collection of virtual worlds that can be accessed through devices such as
headsets.
Meta has staked its future on contributing to the building of the
metaverse, which it has said could take up to a decade to be realized.
Meta previously partnered with augmented reality (AR) companies
Modiface and PerfectCorp to help beauty and cosmetic brands more easily run 3D and AR
advertising.
"The metaverse is basically the spatial internet,"
Crowder said. "It is a whole world of possibility that starts with having
the right 3D models
of your products."
Facebook and Instagram users who
see a 3D ad while browsing on their desktop or phone can interact with an image
of a handbag, for instance, and move it around to view the item from all
angles.
