Mozilla buys Active Replica as part of their metaverse plan
In order to strengthen its metaverse strategy, Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox web browser, has completed its acquisition of US-based digital realities and event start-up Active Replica.
As it develops Hubs, the firm’s virtual reality (VR) collaborating platform, Mozilla bought the startups. Imo Udom, Mozilla SVP, wrote in a blogpost that bringing Active Replica on board “will help us ramp up some of our most essential, in-demand work, including more customised subscription tiers, trying to improve the Hubs on-boarding expertise, and implementing new interaction functionality in the Hubs engine.”
“We see this as a critical chance of bringing even more creativity and innovation to Hubs than what we could individually.” We will profit from their special expertise and capacity to design breathtaking experiences that aid businesses in using virtual environments to produce effect, he continued.
2020-founded Active Replica offers virtual event packages with unique venue design, event management, live entertainment, and technical support. “Mozilla has long promoted a safer internet and has inspired us with its commitment and achievements to the open web.
We are able to promote our vision and motivate a fresh era of creators, connections, and builders by working with the Mozilla Hubs team, according to Active Replica co-founders Jacob Ervin & Valerian Denis. In 2018, Mozilla released Hubs, which offers the infrastructure and development tools required to let users to access a gateway over any browser and interact with one another in a VR environment.
