Mozilla in its endeavor to lead the development of the we released a new way to get together online within Mixed Reality, right in your browser back on 26 April 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>

Hubs as is called is the first experimental releasing as part of Social Mixed Reality efforts<\/a> of Mozilla, it showcases the potential for the web to become the best, most accessible platform to bring people together around the world in this new medium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Release<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The preview of Hubs<\/a> was released as an early version that allows you to easily create web-based rooms to meet with others within Mixed Reality. Create a room with a single click, and then just share the link with someone. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they open the link on their phone or PC, they\u2019ll join you in the room as an avatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

If they have a VR headset, they can enter the room in Mixed Reality. All with no app downloads, walled gardens, or content gatekeepers, and on any device you wish \u2014 and most importantly, through<\/a> open<\/a> source<\/a> software<\/a> that respects your privacy and is built on web standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When using a Mixed Reality headset with Hubs, you\u2019ll be able to\ninteract online in a whole new way. Instead of through a screen, you\nwill be spending time together in what feels like a real place. You can\nmake eye contact, high five, laugh together, or just explore. It\u2019s up to\n you, and it all happens right in your browser just like any other\nwebsite.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hubs has support for all VR devices available today, and will support the all-in-one devices on the market. Mozilla plans to bring AR to hubs with their eye towards WebXR<\/a>, which will bring support for AR to Hubs. And even if you don\u2019t have a headset yet, you can still join in on your PC or phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preview release included a set of robot-styled avatars and a number of scenes you can choose from when you create your room. Each of these is optimized to be able to run well on a variety of devices, from high end PCs to mobile phones. When in the room, you can see one another, move around, and pick up and throw virtual objects. And of course, you can hear each other\u2019s voices with fully spatialized audio, so it sounds like you are in a real place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can try using this preview of Hubs to spend time with far away friends and family, or introduce it to communities as a new way to get together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
