In both physical and virtual realities, people have a natural inclination to personalize and accessorize their appearance. From fashion choices to unique accessories, the way we present ourselves reflects our individuality and allows us to express our personality to the world. Just as in the physical world, the desire to accessorize transcends into virtual spaces like Somnium Space, where users can now explore a revolutionary new wearables system.
This groundbreaking wearables system revolutionizes the way users interact with their virtual avatars. The new system will be rolled out along with their highly anticipated Somnium 3.0 update and allows users to shop for and customize their avatars with a diverse range of accessories, clothing, and wearable items, all seamlessly integrated into the immersive Metaverse experience.
Wearables can seamlessly adapt to your personalized avatar through the intuitive ‘enable colliders’ feature, revealing attachment points on your avatar for easy customization. With the option to switch to ‘astral mode,’ users can momentarily experience an out-of-body perspective, enabling precise real-time adjustments of wearables. This innovative approach transforms the process of trying on and fitting clothes and other wearables into an immersive VR experience. Nothing less than a stroke of genius by Somnium Space.
Have a look at the video below, which is quite a hilarious and brilliant demonstration of the new wearables system. But not only that. Videographers should pay very close attention as this video was entirely shot with the camera tools available in Somnium Space. Very impressive.

With the wearables system, users have the freedom to shop for accessories and wearables either within the virtual reality environment, Desktop/2D Client or through the Desktop Marketplace app. This flexibility ensures that users can easily access and acquire the items that best reflect their unique style and identity, regardless of their preferred mode of interaction with the platform.
But accessorizing in the Metaverse isn’t just about having fun and expressing creativity—it also fulfills a psychological need. Just as in the physical world, personalizing our virtual avatars allows us to establish a sense of identity and belonging within the digital realm. By curating our virtual appearance, we not only showcase our individuality but also connect with others who share similar tastes and preferences.
Moreover, the introduction of the wearables system opens up a world of opportunities for creators and entrepreneurs. With the ability to design and sell custom wearables, creators can now bring their unique visions to life within the Metaverse. This newfound creative freedom not only empowers creators to monetize their talents but also enriches the overall user experience by offering a diverse array of virtual fashion choices.
In essence, Somnium Space’s revolutionary wearables system transcends the boundaries of traditional virtual reality experiences, empowering users to fully immerse themselves in a world of self-expression and creativity. Whether it’s exploring new fashion trends, building a unique virtual identity, or unlocking new opportunities for creators, the possibilities within the Metaverse are endless—and Somnium Space is leading the way towards a more personalized and engaging virtual future.
