In the toy world this is involving manufacturers as <em>Lego<\/em> but also media properties like <em>Hello Kitty<\/em> and virtual worlds companies as <em>Sandbox<\/em>, as explains <strong>Nic Mitham<\/strong> from <em>Metaversed<\/em> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/toys-media-metaverse-golden-triangle-nic-mitham\/?trk=pulse-article_more-articles_related-content-card\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>this post<\/strong><\/a>. Today we have become familiar with toy makers cooperating with media properties, as normally happens for licensed toys and merchandising promoted by media productions such as cartoons and movies. In some ways we are getting used to toys that also have a digital part, as we have seen when writing about <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/storytelling-digital-physical-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sago mini<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/kit-teach-coding-future-adults\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LEGO Boost<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and many others. The addition of this third type of actors, virtual worlds companies, has created what Mitham effectively calls \u201cthe golden triangle\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-3-960x540.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-3-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-3-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-3-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-3.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Metaverse is hard to define in a few words and it\u2019s not yet possible to forecast what role will play in children&#8217;s development and play time, and yet to understand where all this is bringing us toy designers I would start from the only point in this triangle that has a physical dimension and that we know, toys. We have been debating for decades on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/design-world-ruled-videogames\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how video games have impacted on the way children play<\/a><\/strong>, fearing that at some point in the future physical toys could become history, but didn&#8217;t happen yet. And parents are more and more concerned with screen time and educational values of toys in a world strongly leaded by consumerism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So I believe as long as we will consider toys only present in the physical realm we will be disconnected with the educational need of making kids feel &#8220;part of their time&#8221;, for instance being able to socialize in new ways with peers, otherwise making them feel isolated, issue underestimated in many physical toys&#8230; So let&#8217;s hope we will be able to drive a critical development of this new playground considering that physical play will always play a major role in the mental and physical development of children, and that parents will be able to value social interactions and sensory experiences in the real life as well as virtual ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-2-960x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-2-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-2-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-2-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.toy-design.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Toy-design-in-the-age-of-Metaverses-2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The goal of companies investing in the Metaverse right now seems to be to acquire assets to be in the future more and more connected with an audience in growth (online gamers) that is lowering its age dramatically as years are passing.
