title = "Decentralized, not Dehumanized in the Metaverse: Bringing Utility to NFTs through Multimodal Interaction",
abstract = "User Interaction for NFTs (Non-fungible Tokens) is gaining increasing attention. Although NFTs have been traditionally single-use and monolithic, recent applications aim to connect multimodal interaction with human behavior. This paper reviews the related technological approaches and business practices in NFT art. We highlight that multimodal interaction is a currently under-studied issue in mainstream NFT art, and conjecture that multimodal interaction is a crucial enabler for decentralization in the NFT community. We present a continuum theory and propose a framework combining a bottom-up approach with AI multimodal process. Through this framework, we put forward integrating human behavior data into generative NFT units, as {"}multimodal interactive NFT.{"}Our work displays the possibilities of NFTs in the art world, beyond the traditional 2D and 3D static content.",
