Use Cases:
Virtual Experience Marketplace

For instance, a Blockchain-based platform for virtual events is RevolutionVR. this platform allows users create and visualize high-fidelity VR environments where the RVR token(an ad-hoc cryptocurrency) can be used for purchasing games and other interactive experiences, as well as digital assets such as 3D models, animations, sounds, etc
Monetization of VR/AR Games
Companies started to explore the integrations of Blockchain in games to let gamers create, sell, and purchase digital assets by using a single currency.
E-Commerce or (V-Commerce) Virtual-Commerce
V-commerce is an emerging phenomenon that is gaining traction in marketing and business literature and is becoming specifically more prominent in content related to retail practices, various author agree that v-commerce will "reshape the retail landscape"
