The idea of the metaverse remains somewhat fuzzy today, but it amounts to a world of online, virtual environments where users work, socialize and play. Meta Mibs is an art project that brings the rich hobby of marble (mib) collecting into the digital landscape.

Every render within the Meta Mibs collection is either a digital reproduction of a specific hand-made marble, a representation of a machine-made marble based on established traits, or an "original" marble that exists only online.

My hope is that the Meta Mibs project can introduce new individuals to the expansive hobby of marble collecting through engaging resources, while also providing a unique opportunity for veteran collectors to interact with marbles in a new way.

Admire it! Play with it! Learn more about it!

But seriously, meta mibs are not intangible 3D renders, they can be engaged with in a variety of ways. On the gallery page, you can inspect the digital renders with full control as if they were in your hand - but with no smudges! If viewing the renders on a phone, you can open the AR view to render the marble in your immediate environment.

I'm also doing my best to add correct supplemental information to each marble to aid other collectors in their identification efforts and learn more about the marbles we all love. If you notice incorrect information or would like to lend a hand in filling in the missing slots, please, send me a message!

Yes, review the guidelines then submit a request form and your requested marble will be added to the Meta Mibs collection!
