By early 2024, Genies will accept thousands of developers. Initially, the company plans on accepting hundreds of developers to participate in the million-dollar pool and be rewarded on a monthly basis. “We have built it in a way that, over time, you can have almost little to no technical expertise to be able to create an avatar experience,” he added. The developers are required to have a few years of coding experience to fully understand the technology. Nigam said Genies is selective about the developers they accept. “We really want to make sure that people are leveraging these avatars in a way that’s going to be additive to the entire ecosystem…We want to make sure that we can incentivize them to build experiences the right way.” “We want to be able to work hands-on with each of the developers to be able to cultivate their experiences through the dev kit,” Nigam told us. Developers can submit their applications through the Genies website. The company will launch the first cohort this summer.

The first batch of developers to be accepted for the fund will mainly be college students and other beginners that are selected for Genies’ Developer Incubator, which provide mentorship and tips for how to launch their own AR experiences. The new engagement fund and the developer kit are by application only. And when that did happen, any type of social or interactive experience that you wanted to do with your friends, whether it was a mini-game or some type of social network, or use case, you’re going to need an avatar as a prerequisite… The XR compatibility tech makes it so that any of these avatars or creations can spawn effectively and performantly in an AR world.” “In 2017, when we were building this, we knew that at one point we were going to live in an augmented world. “We think this is really important, especially in the context of Apple Vision Pro,” Genies CEO Akash Nigam told TechCrunch in an interview. However, at the start, the experiences will launch on mobile. The developer kit also includes XR (extended reality) compatibility, which means the avatar experiences have the potential to perform well in mobile AR, AR glasses and VR headsets. The network includes Genies’ Silver Studio, a DIY digital fashion app (still in beta) where users dress up and personalize their avatars. The mini-apps will launch within Genies’ upcoming super app, which is expected to roll out this fall.
