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.

Someone will be monitoring it. Probably some NSA and FBI agents wearing their own headsets.

But, Agent Wilson, the headset goes on your BIG HEAD, not the little one!

Are you implying Agent Wilson's d..k is not big enough for the headset?
Because, size aside, his two heads are indistinguishable.

I don't know about you all, but I have enough trouble with regular reality. Not exactly sure what "mixed reality" is, but I'm pretty sure it's not for me.
You are still welcome on my lawn.

Mixed reality is diverse reality, you bigot!
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
