Mozilla reveals the acquisition of Active Replica. The Firefox developer is buying the Vancouver, Canada-based developer to accelerate its metaverse campaign. Active Replica develops web-based metaverse platforms that do not require the use of VR/AR devices. Active Replica is planning to help Mozilla accelerate the development of its VR chat rooms, called Hubs.
Active Replica stated that they are planning to play a crucial part in user onboarding, and improving experiences. The metaverse developer will also work on personalized subscription tiers and introduce new interaction capabilities in hubs.
Jacob Ervin and Valerian Denis, co-founders of Active Replica stated:
“From the very first day, we’ve believed that the web-based metaverse will be the cornerstone of how people connect virtually. Working with social, cultural, and educational organizations has given us the opportunity to see how important the open web is to the future of remote communication.”
