Integrate emotes to drive engagement and boost revenues for your game or virtual world. Players use emotes to socialize and express themselves in 3D gaming content. Animations that express emotion have been used in MMO games for more than two decades, but user demand for emotes has skyrocketed after their viral success in Fortnite Battle Royale. A recent report from the non-profit research organization Blockchain Research Lab found that 74% of players of games and virtual worlds such as PUBG and Roblox use emotes in games, while 22% do so every time they play. Through a plug-and-play approach which allows developers to activate the features they need, developers can select which emotes they want to offer players, integrate the fully customizable Kinetix emote wheel, hotkeys, and contextual emotes, and even enable gamers to create their own in-game emotes via a web app which uses the Kinetix Studio’s generative AI technology to convert videos to 3D animations.
