LGL Recaps 2022 and Provides 2023 Outlook
Outlook
2022 was a fascinating year in technology, but many investors can be forgiven for still having difficulty discerning the technology-based sectors on the bleeding edge of innovation. Despite LGL being an early mover in the metaverse space with its own set of notable achievements, the Company continues to evolve in an industry that is, so far, better known for other reasons. Ever since Facebook became Meta last October and then proceeded to invest another nearly
Looking ahead to 2023, LGL continues to be focused on building industry leading products that are firmly rooted in immediate consumer engagement with the continued development of the first live-action series, entitled GenZeroes, as well as its proprietary metaverse platform, Pocket Dimension, which is expected to come to market in the first quarter of 2023. These two flagship products are blurring the lines between familiar user experiences and Web3 technology applications to provide corporate and brand partners with new ways to engage their customers. LGL is actively pursuing partnerships with multiple major brands and organisations across the media, marketing, automotive and entertainment industries to leverage the improved engagement and monetisation benefits for which the blockchain and Web3 have great potential.
2022 Highlights
LGL’s most notable highlights from 2022 in chronological order include:
- 3D modelling technology of HoK’s NFT infrastructure became core to the development of the HAPEBEAST NFT collection by Digimental Studio that realized in excess of
$100 million in secondary revenues1; - HoK partnered with Polygon Studios to scale and further develop key infrastructure solutions;
- Received over
CAD$2.5 million in Metaverse land sale proceeds in April 2022; - Produced and release the first-ever live action sci-fi series backed by NFTs;
- Showcased HoK’s GenZeroes Live-Action Series at Comic-Con International 2022; and
