Today, we’re excited to share a preview release of Hubs by Mozilla, a new way to get together online within Mixed Reality, right in your browser. Hubs is the first experiment we’re releasing as part of our Social Mixed Reality efforts, and we think it showcases the potential for the web to become the best, most accessible platform to bring people together around the world in this new medium.

[...] When using a Mixed Reality headset with Hubs, you’ll be able to interact online in a whole new way. Instead of through a screen, you will be spending time together in what feels like a real place. You can make eye contact, high five, laugh together, or just explore. It’s up to you, and it all happens right in your browser just like any other website.

[...] When in the room, you can see one another, move around, and pick up and throw virtual objects. And of course, you can hear each other’s voices with fully spatialized audio, so it sounds like you are in a real place.

    And they want people who use this thing to get together.
    Maybe this is a secret plot to breed users!

    Maybe this is a secret plot to virtually breed users!

    FTFY as, unfortunately, they won't get together IRL.
    Would it be so, the place to designate as appropriate for the congregation is Ship B.
    Or at ground zero of the next nuke test of any nation, NK** included.

    ** for the purpose, NK should get the necessary permissions from all grateful nations
