# Future Vision

## Our Vision

Our vision for the future has already partly been laid out in this paper in our mission to change the course of consumerism, utilising the technologies of Web3 and the power of community to shunt things away from the downward spiral of ‘overall system failure’ to shape a way of living that delivers a little more delight.

We will do this by attempting to redefine the relationship between brands and customers, turning the purchasing and owning experience into a game. By delivering extended value that is unimaginable, through immersive and interactive experiences across interoperable environments and Omni-channels.

We want to be the shapers of the world that successfully reshaped the way the consumer cycle works, which became emulated across all other industries and successfully changed the habits of consumerism. Together, we could be the ones that owned this current cultural paradigm shift (that successfully represented the hot mash that is modern culture, incorporating every aspect of human culture, new or old, corporate or pirate, and interweaving it together in a way that is - undoubtedly - DEPARTMNT.)

## Community Vision

We are turning the ownership experience into a form of stake in the DEPARTMNT Experience which enables voting rights for the creative direction of the company. Therefore, it is not just our vision which is to dictate the future of DEPARTMNT. We have presented some ideas in the next sections which our community might want to consider for what the future could look like.

## **Ideas and Concepts**

* [x] **DEPARTMNT Dashboard:** an interface that enables holders to manage the DEPARTMNT experience. Phase 1 of the dashboard will be released in DEPARTMNT 1.0. Release 2.0 will provide updated functionality and features.
* [x] **DEPARTMNT Access Chip (DAC):** Our DAC will be developed and improved over time due to computing technological advancement. Together with the DEPARTMNT dashboard interface, we will develop a proprietary tool which holders will be able to manage their experience from, merging the physical and the digital.
* [ ] **DEPARTMNT Avatar:** a genesis avatar that all our wearable products will fit on and will be interoperable across any collaborative environment. Unique skins and collaborations on avatars could also be possible.
* [ ] **DEPARTMNT Avatar builder:** using the builder, the avatar character will be equipable with MINT 001 assets as well as all subsequent mint product releases. The avatar too, equipped or not, will be available to download as a fully rigged metaverse-compatible 3D asset.
* [ ] **DEPARTMNT PFP builder:** a customisable PFP builder; use your avatar and update it with Access Tokens you’ve acquired, then download the headshot as JPG or GIF ready for integration and exclusive use on social platforms.
* [ ] **DEPARTVERSE:** immersive digital environments created by DEPARTMNT or collaborators, where digital experiences take place.
