The Company Continues to Embrace New Technologies Including Proprietary AI Tools to Increase the Utility of its Metaverse Offering for its Genesis Members
VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 15, 2022 /CNW/ - Looking Glass Labs Ltd. ("LGL" or the "Company") (NEO: NFTX) (AQSE: NFTX) (OTC: LGSLF) (FRA: H1N), a leading Web3 platform specializing in immersive metaverse environments, play-to-earn tokenization and blockchain monetization strategies, announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, House of Kibaa ("HoK"), has incorporated artificial intelligence ("AI") into its next Genesis Member NFT airdrop (the "Airdrop"). Beginning on December 14, 2022, the Airdrop will feature digital assets with imagery that was generated using AI, guided by HoK's creative direction. Over 900 digital assets featuring nine different designs are being planned to be distributed to over 800 Genesis memberships.
The Genesis Membership enables holders first access to purchase HoK and HoK partner NFTs, receive new digital assets at no cost through periodic airdrops and access to a membership-only Genesis Moon metaverse land. A proprietary AI program was utilized by the Company to produce various designs that were overseen by HoK's graphic artists for the digital assets. The graphic artists used detailed text phrases as inputs into the AI program, thereby generating the initial unique image concepts. The images were then fine-tuned by the HoK creative team with further phraseology to create the final realistic and high-definition character images.
Text-to-image AI models are currently capturing a growing amount of industry attention aside from LGL's use of the technology. The ability to generate 3-D digital content is expected to have large implications for areas including gaming, animated filmmaking and the metaverse.1

The digital assets airdropped to our Genesis Members will be ready for use in our Pocket Dimension metaverse offering," said Dorian Banks, Chief Executive Officer at LGL. "We are proud to continue adding value to the community and look forward to bringing more innovation to our next airdrop," added Mr. Banks.
