When NASA\u2019s Webb Space Telescope team and artist Ashley Zelinskie wanted to bring space exploration to everyone, they chose Mozilla Hubs<\/a>, our open source platform for creating 3D virtual spaces right from your browser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashley told us<\/a> that they \u201cdidn\u2019t want to cut people out that didn\u2019t have fancy VR headsets or little experience in VR. \u2026 If we were going to invite the world to experience the Webb Telescope we wanted everyone to be able to attend.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly why Mozilla has been investing in the immersive web: We believe that virtual worlds are part of the future of the internet, and we want them to be accessible and safe for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means each Hubs user controls access to the virtual world they created, which is only discoverable to the people they share it with. Hubs users and their guests can also immerse themselves in this world right from their desktop or mobile browser \u2013 no downloads or installations required. And while you can use a VR headset, you can access the same spaces through your phone, tablet or desktop computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re curious, take a look at a few ways people have been creating immersive worlds with Mozilla Hubs: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just space art. A virtual museum of art prints put together by the creative agency Paradowski<\/a> helped raise money for a COVID-19 response fund by the World Health Organization. In St. Louis, Missouri, the American Institute of Graphic Arts<\/a> showcased artists\u2019 work during the school\u2019s annual design show. In the U.K., the Royal Institute of British Architects<\/a> presented an exhibition that immersed visitors in architectural milestones over the last five centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Mozilla Hubs can host projects on the grandest scale, you can use it for personal projects too: Whether you\u2019re an artist, photographer or a 3D modeler, you can create an immersive portfolio that\u2019s easy to use and accessible to anybody with a browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To build spaces for hobbies (and meet new people)<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n

The website Meetup<\/a> lets people find local events based on their interests \u2013 from pet poultry to coding to learning a new language. In addition to in-person gatherings, the platform allows people to organize online. Those who wish to meet up virtually can do so in a 3D space through Hubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can create your own immersive space and invite others. You can also just grab an existing room made available by another creator, remix it and make it your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
