Mozilla adquire Active Replica para expandir suas ambições de metaverso

  • A Mozilla vê o metaverso como uma parte fundamental de seu futuro.
  • O desenvolvedor do Firefox adicionou recentemente a equipe por trás do Pulse à sua lista de aquisições.

Mozilla has made a series of purchases this week, including the team behind Pulse. The company also revealed that it has adquirido Active Replica, uma empresa sediada em Vancouver que cria um metaverso baseado na web.

A Mozilla spokesperson noted that Active Replica will aid in the company’s ongoing work with Hubs, an open-source project, and a virtual reality chatroom service. Active Replica’s team will work particularly on customized subscription tiers, enhancing the onboarding procedure, and adding new interaction features in Hubs.

Interestingly, Active Replica collaborated with Mozilla earlier this year during the multi-day Mozfest arts and technology festival. Mozilla, in an official announcement, said both companies will profit from working together due to their respective sizes and growth levels. The declaração ler,

Juntos, vemos isso como uma oportunidade importante para trazer ainda mais inovação e criatividade aos Hubs do que poderíamos sozinhos. Nós nos beneficiaremos de sua experiência única e capacidade de criar experiências incríveis que ajudam as organizações a usar espaços virtuais para gerar impacto. Eles se beneficiarão de nossa escala, nosso talento e nossa capacidade de ajudar a trazer suas inovações para o mercado mais rapidamente.

Reacting to the deal, Active Replica affirmed that it would continue ongoing collaborations with its partners, adding that Mozilla’s presence will aid its long-term goals. Active Replica was launched in 2020 by Jacob Ervin and Valerian Denis to provide easy access to virtual experiences. Both founders see Mozilla’s acquisition as a positive step for the web. They said in an official declaração,

Mozilla has long advocated for a healthier internet and has been an inspiration to us in its dedication and contributions to the open web. By joining forces with the Mozilla Hubs team, we’re able to further expand on our mission and inspire a new generation of creators, connectors, and builders.

Ervin and Denis aimed to build a platform for virtual gatherings and events based on Mozilla’s Hubs project. Active Replica provided its clients with technical support, event planning, and venue design. Notably, both Ervin and Denis have taken on new positions at Mozilla, serving as senior engineering manager and product lead, respectively.

Hubs offer the infrastructure and development tools required to enable users to access a portal using any browser and interact with others in a virtual world. Additionally, Hubs, which adhere to web standards, support common googles and headsets such as Oculus and Rift. It is also accessible to users without specialized VR hardware on computers and smartphones.

O metaverso continua a atrair atenção dentro e fora do setor Web3, e a Mozilla o vê como parte de seu futuro. No entanto, sua entrada no setor ainda não produziu os resultados esperados.

Cobri algumas histórias interessantes em minha carreira como jornalista e acho as histórias relacionadas ao blockchain muito intrigantes. Acredito que a Web3 vai mudar o mundo e quero que todos façam parte dele.
