What if the metaverse is something that we’ve been living for decades already? Something that you can experience deeply when drinking from the firehose of a high-end VR headset and something that you can dip a toe in via a text-based interface?
That’s a valid way of thinking about the metaverse: endless virtual worlds interconnected by portals for work, play, exploration, connection, and pretty much anything else you can imagine doing.
Rooom, which just recently emerged from stealth mode with a $7 million series A, created the immersive digital environments for IFA 2020, accommodating 200,000+ virtual attendees at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic for one of the biggest consumer electronics trade shows in the world. It’s also doing virtual events for Augmented World Expo, Deutsche Telekom, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, and Vodafone. The key: delivering web-based 3D experiences that are cross-platform for virtually any device.
“And some others just do it in a very VR-headset focused way. The problem is the fake 2D is not that engaging, and the VR headset makes it necessary to have special, sometimes expensive devices.”
