Description
The web straddles national boundaries. It is the place where the "great conversation" takes place; the conversation about how we as world citizens work and grow together. But it is hard today to even tip somebody a dollar across international boundaries for work that you like. It is also hard to see what the best content is - based on how much attention a given person has gotten in real-world terms other than by upvotes which can be faked. In this new world, a world that is increasingly online, using a web that is increasingly more vibrant, richer and engaging, we need ways to signal to each other clearly - with true signals - that cannot be forged, that show real indications of interest. What we think of as the future web is more than just pretty graphics - it is an intersection of three key requirements: 1) better tools 2) identity and 3) money. For us to have the beautiful hyper futures we imagine; with immersive 3d graphics, where content creators who want to make money go to the web first rather than walled gardens - we need to fix all three of these.

Our group poses the question: what if the “Metaverse” is made up of an open ecosystem of interoperating, simultaneously running applications that blend the advantages of AR, VR, the web, open source, and standards? We demonstrate a joint WebXR system for multi-user, multi-app composited application development using open standards (WebXR).
To participate in the demonstration, enter the Mozilla Hub via https://awe.webaverse.com/ supported devices & browsers since Hubs runs in the browser it works across many different platforms.
For 2D experience: Hubs works on most modern desktop browsers on Windows, Mac and Linux. It also works on most mobile browsers for Android, and Safari on iOS.
For VR experience: For Desktop VR (Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, or HTC Vive) Hubs works when used with a WebVR compatible browser (e.g. Firefox). Users must also have either Oculus Desktop App (Oculus rift), or SteamVR installed (Windows Mixed Reality, HTC Vive). For Standalone VR devices (Pico Neo 2, Oculus Quest and Oculus Go) Hubs works in the Mozilla Firefox Reality Browser or the Oculus Browser. Mobile phone powered VR systems, such as Samsung Gear and Google Cardboard, work using Google Chrome browser. Note that some features may be limited on low-powered devices such as mobile phones.https://hubs.mozilla.com/docs/hubs-create-join-rooms.html#supported-devices--browsers
