Founded in 2017 and based in Gothenburg, Sweden, Hiber is building a “universally accessible web-first, no-code, free-to-use platform” called HiberWorld. Their aim is to remove the barriers to entry for everyone to create, play, and participate in an open Metaverse.
HiberWorld apparently already supports millions of interconnected virtual worlds. The company states that HiberWorld features a “proprietary next generation 3D engine and is incorporating web3 technology to support digital ownership and interoperability”.
The company is backed by a number of top investors in consumer technology, gaming and blockchain including EQT Ventures, Luminar Ventures, Konvoy Ventures, CMT Digital, Dreamcraft Ventures, SYBO, the mini fund, and others.
Hiber just announced on Twitter that they are partnering with avatar company Ready Player Me to bring cross-platform 3D avatars to their HiberWorld. The collaboration with Ready Player Me will allow users to explore new environments in the metaverse under one identity. Lastly, they will be able to immerse themselves in the platform’s various worlds and games including 3D hangouts, challenges, interactive science museums, roller coasters, art showcases, and more.
