  • How to access octaEra digital experiences?
    Access octaera.com/metaverse via PC, mobile or VR, log in, and enter the desired experience. Make sure you have a valid ticket or plan to enter the experience.
  • Why is it an Ancestral Metaverse?
    Combining technology with ancestry. In the ERA of the metaverse, where we already live virtual worlds, realities and experiences with extreme mobility, ERA that we have also learned, that much ancestral knowledge was lost due to lack of records or through real destruction. It is also the ERA that we had the idea of registering, supporting and strengthening the mission of local and indigenous cultures, which fight for the preservation of the Nature of our Planet. A nature that is constantly changing, and unfortunately, we see it getting worse. We bring you the record of this nature, creating a historical record of certain places, as well as being able to teach and educate our, and future generations, about how the world is changing and how our impact is destroying our Mother. Ancestry comes from this same nature, and when we add it to the knowledge and wisdom of the original and ancestral peoples, who know very well how to live and co-exist as part of something much BIGGER. We bring this knowledge and teachings to the world in a creative, interactive and highly accessible way.
  • What happens when I request permission to participate in an experiment that hasn't been released yet?
